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.

My understanding is that, while the full truth is probably a bit messier than this, Home Depot has put more money toward conservative politicians and causes than Lowes has.

Probably. But there are more home depots. We'll go locally owned, Ace, Lowe's, and Home Depot in reverse burn priority given proximity. Deal?

[–] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Sounds reasonable.

I propose we make some minor changes to the standard guillotine though, as potentially we will need to use it in a zero gravity environment when these fuckers try to escape to space.

I believe a pair of micro-rockets would give the blade assembly the appropriate near-gravity acceleration, but we do need to run the numbers to ensure we don't end up with single use devices. That would be so wasteful.

Let's hook it up to righteously trained AI and let them try to talk it out of guillotining them. If they manage it they just get to lose all their money instead of their head.

Why not a slow hydraulic cylinder to push the blade down?

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

Just adapt a normal mechanical, flywheel press. They work quite fast, great output.

Cuz rockets are cool.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Too much effort. Let's get a multi ton autohammer and speedrun this shit
