News
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.

K, why is it $9 for a box of Raisin Bran Crunch?
Cereals are all high-margin foods, they charge you that because you'll fucking pay it, you dirty little piggy. Oink oink
Anyway, switch to oatmeal, it's cheaper and there are a million different ways to make it
I haven't had cereal in like 25 years.
I haven't had breakfast in seven minutes, at least.
It is also much healthier.
Yes, almost all boxed cereal is basically candy. One serving of Raisin Bran Crunch has 19g of sugar, which is the same as half a can of coke
Okay but that’s the version with frosted bran flakes- it almost makes sense. The crazy thing is that regular Raisin Bran has 18g of sugar
Only nine of those grams are added sugars. The rest is mostly raisins, because people tend to forget that fruits are sugary as hell somehow.
Most fruit is bred to be more sugary than necessary, because that’s how humans like it. They also have less fiber and protein as a result. Some zoos won’t even feed their chimps bananas anymore because they get diabetes and tooth decay from human-grade bananas.
Well, raisins are concentrated fruit.
You gotta pump that economy, one box of Raisin Bran at a time!
I used to buy 3 boxes at a time, and now I just eat gruel.
because that stuff is actually mostly cocaine
Because people are willing to pay it. Because they have the money to. When the economy is “hot” prices go up.
They also seem to go up when the economy is "cold"... it's like the game is rigged or something.
