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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

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.

I typically drink oat milk or almond milk. Oatly is the worst tasting brand I've had. Good packing though; it almost tricked me into buying it again.

[–] Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 1 points 14 minutes ago

Interesting, Oatly is by far the best tasting for me (I've tried all brands here in Germany because lactose intolerant). Maybe I'm just being manipulated by the packaging though, I find it so funny. I get almond milk as well, and like the BioCompany brand the most there, but I reckon that's a Germany exclusive.

Coconut milk too? Milk of magnesia? Harvey Milk?

[–] Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 1 points 17 minutes ago

For real, it's so obviously ridiculous. Big Cow Milk must be pretty influential...

UK continues its efforts to be a shittier country than the US. Astonishing how good that insane fucking island is at finding new ways to make itself shittier and shittier.

Why should i??

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 39 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Both milk and meat, like flesh, does not necessarily refer to animal products. Never has. The meat and diary industry has been lobbying to change that for decades and stupid/uneducated people eat it up.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 16 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Right? Like, the flesh of many fruits is called exactly that and has been, basically, forever.

The meat of the problem is that we are allowing industries, now, to define our language to maximize their profits.

The very first person to try to take advantage over others should have been eaten by the rest of the group, immediately.

The industry is milking it for every last penny.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Don't say that!

[–] TrackShovel@lemmy.today 17 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Glad to see they are focusing on the important stuff, unlike, y'know, the pedo ring running the country

[–] Khrux@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 hour ago

As much as the UK is slow to act and the people won't face full charges, the big name in UK politics that appeared in the files, Peter Mandleson is gone, and his closest political ally Morgan McSweeny is too. These are two of the most loathed corrupt politicians of the current government and their involvement made them too toxic for politics. Prince Andrew had had his royal styles, peerages and titles stripped too.

The UK is a disgusting country and the second most implicated after the USA but it's response is very different, namely the people involved cannot run the country anymore.

uk, not usa court here, allas.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 7 points 17 hours ago

Still applies.

Forgive me - was only 1/4 of the way though my coffee

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 5 hours ago

You're still not wrong, though.

"oaty: it's NOT a mammary secretion like milk"

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I think thats exactly what theyre banning. Oatly isnt advertising itself as milk. Its called "oat drink".

[–] ReiRose@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Surely youre still allowed to say its not milk. Or oaty-not-milk. They could play with it and just put big warning labels on it: warning ⚠️ this is not orange juice!!!

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 7 points 21 hours ago

Their packaging used to say "oat milk". I don't know how long ago they changed that.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 4 points 18 hours ago

Can't they just call it milky oat, as the cloudiness property of the substance?
