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.

Error code on that link.
This is God tier.
So that's why clothes from Temu smell like that...
Now can someone explain to me why Amazon boxes sometimes smell like ass, just actual ass, why?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I think you already know
And yet you continue to order them
I couldn't find an image but there's an old Far Side cartoon that shows a building that's something like "Jake's Croissants and Fill Dirt". Reminds me of that.
My boss ordered an anti-fatigue mat from Amazon recently and entirety of the inside of that package smelled like a fish market.
What is that because I am fatigued as fuck. I really need one. I'm OK with it smelling like fish.
it is a cushioned mat that is supposed to make your feet or legs not hurt from standing in one spot. I'm not sure how well they actually work but I've got one infront of the sink for when I'm doing dishes.
They make a ton of difference if you're standing on a hard floor for more than an hour or two. Still worse than something to sit on but stools are a luxury beyond the reach of American workers.
Thanks! :) Never heard of one before.
The connection is that they both require workers, but don't want to pay them
Like some kind of slave mall
Clothes that smell like seafood straight from the factory could be the next $100 white t-shirt or designer jeans with rips already in them.
Because these two industries are both labor intensive.
Derek’s Derelict clothing line must be made there
The night and day crew use the same equipment for different purposes. (they're on 12 hour shifts because that's more efficient or something probably)
