Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Recycling does not have any impact on climate change and was never suggested to have any impact on climate change
I think that was the joke....
Ah if it is I missed it and I feel appropriately goofy
So why have I been wasting my time?!? Captain planet is an asshole
If we cure climate change tomorrow and do nothing about garbage/sustainability in packaging, we all still die - its just more disgusting.
Captain Planet focuses on the entirety of the environment, not just climate. That's why he whooshes bulldozers into the air in the Amazon.
We’re all dead no matter what. Climate change or not, humans don’t have a good ending.
Strong disagree.
Oh ok. What happens when the sun explodes? What happens when the universe collapses?
Go on keep strong disagreeing.
The universe "collapsing" has fallen largely out of favor as a theory. The sun isn't going to explode, at all.
What happens to stars when they run out of energy? They explode. You sound like you lack a science based education.
That is not accurate for all stars. Our star, for instance, is a yellow dwarf star (Type G Main Sequence). When it runs out of fuel it will briefly swell up as a red giant then collapse into a white dwarf. At no point will it explode because it simply lacks the mass for that type of chain reaction. We have a billion years before this happens, so can literally fly existing rockets elsewhere if need be. A billion years is a long time.
Tell me again about my science education lol
A 5 second Google search will present you that information in wiki.
The reason I am not impressed by your education is that after you spewed all of that you still can’t connect the dots.
When our sun dies we have no more energy. Earth turns into a brick of ice. Nothing will survive that.
Second of all when our sun “swells” it’s going to swallow up earth. If some how it doesn’t do that it will at the very least increase temperatures on earth to the point where nothing survives.
Humans are fucked no matter how you slice and dice it.
It seems you just want to argue for the sake of arguing. Unfortunately for you there is absolutely no world where you are correct.
It won't swallow earth, but it will burn it. Even in your downplaying, you're still wrong.
I think you lack a science-based education.
Sigh……
You must be a trump fan.
Lol the exact opposite.
Right. Says the person who thinks humans are going to survive a planet with no sun. What a massive joke.
I explicitly stated that in the next billion years, humans are likely to leave earth.
ROFL
Sounds like you lack a basic mathematics education too.
👍🏻
Thanks for backing out home slice. This was getting embarrassing for you.
Fun fact: some other dingus spewing wrong shit just tried to insinuate I was a leftist 2 seconds after you tried to connect me with Trump. Maybe try to be less like that.
I backed out because you’re a moron and there in no point in arguing with a moron.
Lmao I agree completely with the latter half of your sentence. Next part of backing out is not trying to get the last word. I work from home. You won't get it.
Hey look a Reddit troll who gets their jollies acting like a complete idiot. How original. Go on little boy get your last word in. Give us that big internet flex since it’s so important to your your little ego.
Lol
Yes.
