YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

It's ok, there isn't 50 years of world left.
There's not? Why?
Climate collapse
No wonder you guys are so damn stressed if you really think climate change is literally going to end human existence on earth.
Read the fourth, most recent IPCC report - it's essentially a metastudy synthesising a lot of hard science.
The picture is grim.
Of human-habitable world, you mean.
Imagine if the dinosaurs had newspapers back then: "THE WORLD IS ENDING!!" And mammals be like "lol"
Why do you people insist on making this insane point every time? We're talking about the unnecessary death of everything you've ever seen. Stop trying to lighten the mood you absolute twat.
I'm not lightening the mood; I'm just stating a fact. Some cells billions of years ago started producing this very highly toxic, very highly poisonous gas that killed 99% of everything that was living back then on Earth. That gas spread everywhere. It was horrible. Death everywhere. Did the world end? Nope. New life adapted and thrived. The gas was oxygen.
Now it seems like it will be CO2. Produced by carbon-based organisms, like those oxygen-producing assholes of a distant past. And I, just like the universe, say, "eh..... it happens."
But more to the point - naaaaah, the world will be fine. Humans ain't going nowhere. We're what, 8 billion already? That's 8 million of millions of people. Some of us will just move underground, or to the poles. But chances are, we'll fix this issue before it becomes a human extinction event.
Every human ever has believed this. Christians have believed they're the last generation for 2,000 years now
