Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The suspected hackers have breached US water infrastucture before – and CISA has just warned their targets are expanding.

In at least one city, the attack temporarily knocked a municipal well and water treatment plant offline, according to local media outlet MPRNews.

Other communities reported the attacks disrupted communications and automated operations, forcing staff to switch to manual workarounds while systems were restored, the news outlet said.

You really gotta workshop that nickname

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Understood, friend. I apologize for that. Though I don't think you or I need to work on any other aliases for that war criminal. There appear to be an abundance of others available online.

For instance, even a simple search on the Internet yields many other "nicknames" to appropriately describe this man. I didn't even need to workshop "Satanyahoo"! It's available on this page presently - and listed there as a variant of "Satanyahu":

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Satanyahu

For the sake of convenience, the full list as found from that page is provided below:

  • Satanyahu
  • Satanyahoo
  • Bibi the Butcher
  • Netanyahoo
  • Satan Hussein

Another commenter that replied to you came up with one that I haven't heard of before:

  • Beelzebibi

That's an excellent one too!

Nonetheless, I switched the one I chose in my original comment to refer to him as Bibi the Butcher. I hope this one's ok. I'm open to suggestions!

Thank you and be well.

Y'know, one could argue that was more effort than my relatively silly comment deserved. You really put in the work and for that I salute you. Truly a top-shelf comment.

I do think most of the nicknames there are pretty lame, to be honest. Satan Hussein doesn't even really make sense. Bibi the Butcher is almost more of a pejorative title than a nickname, and I prefer that in general. This is a very specific reference but, in the Expanse novels and tv series, calling Fred Johnson 'The Butcher of Anderson Station' feels more impactful to me than calling him Bled Toxin would. I think when someone refers to Trump as the 'Orange [bad thing]', for example, the intention is to make the criticism hit harder but it usually has the opposite effect on me. That is purely personal preference though. Feel free to nickname to your heart's content if that's your preference!

Beelzebibi is my favourite, personally. It's both pejorative and funny. It's also really fun to say out loud. Great stuff.

Dear fellow Lemmy-er: that was brilliant! I appreciate your insightful views and I decided to immediately make a second edit as per your brilliant suggestion. Moving forward, I'll be using Beelzebibi!

Please accept my up-vote and have a good day. Thanks so much!
