Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Also I'd say before we invented masonry and agriculture, the sky gods dictates whether you lived or died.
You're stalking prey and the sky gods shift the winds, and your pre-soap body odour gets picked up by the antelope and it runs off? You might be eating lean for the next couple days. Hell, we weren't apex predators, the shift in wind might bring your scent to a pack of wolves or a pride of lions.
A sudden storm knocks down a fence and your goats escape? You haven't paid your dues to the sky gods, remember to sacrifice one next time, if you survive the winter without your herd.
You're arrogant enough to think the sky gods can't harm you because you built a hut of wood and clay? The sky gods will send a Hailstone the size of a large rodent through your thatched roof or strike your hut with lightning.
The sky gods send a drought? Your water holes dry up, you can't find enough plants to forage and the rivers are crowded with thirsty predators and ambushing crocodiles.
