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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.
I would just love humanity to get together and make a giant, skyscraper sized plaque in titanium, etch into the moon, or whatever would last the longest to inform any future sapient species that evolves that "We killed ourselves competing against each other over junk. Whoever is reading this, please, CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER, or perish as we have."
Since we clearly, belligerently don't care to survive, it would just be courteous.
It wouldn't last long. Our best bet is stone and that wouldn't last long either.
Maybe the moon would be a better place to put the message.
Would be good timing wise if it was some box or building up there we set up to be visible a new civilization would probably want to reach.
Kind of a "you made it to the moon, well done, you're right around the stage of technological development where we really amped up fucking ourselves up..."
Climate change will be a mild inconvenience for them. They'll continue to have air conditioning and first class access to food. The rest of us can burn to death or starve.
The UAW wants this. Anything is on the table to defeat Trump. If he gets the keys to the house again, all of these regulations are going down the shitter. Unions too.
