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.

Once in a lifetime event (every couple of years).

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 29 points 2 years ago

To be fair every couple of years feels like a lifetime these days

[–] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

It's almost like the climate is constantly changing.

And what does Ron do? Doesn’t even answer his fucking phone

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In all fairness it was a cop calling, I'm sure he's scared of her.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

Ron is afraid of her only because she is a minority.

If only we could change directions of that storm with a sharpie

Only the orange wizard knows the sacred spells!

Worst storm in 100 years so far**

2025: Harris [I hope] warns Hurricane ____ could be worst storm to hit Florida in 100 years, including Hurricane Milton.

Why isn't he on the shore throwing Bounty Paper Towels into the Gulf?

[–] KinglyWeevil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

We have to nuke the hurricane with paper towels to fit it to a sharpie drawn trajectory

[–] Xanis@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

100 years? Careful, last time someone made that claim we had maskless idiots injecting literal poison into themselves while claiming a life saving shot causes autism.

"Don't listen to Biden or the BlueMAGA! If you leave they will take your homes and your land. This "Hurricane" is caused by them! Don't run!"

sigh

To be sure, he should ask Carter.

It could well be as bad.

Please let it take out a record number of bigots and white nationalists and christofascists. Start with Ronnie.
