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.

One of them was desperate for a baby. The other maybe not so much.

Sorry, didn’t know that.

Was going off the date in the article, which was yesterday.

when you think about it, the fact we got this far as a species in terms of society and population is astounding. For all intents and purposes we should still be banging rocks together in caves.

Really. Think for a moment: these people have had the modern benefits of the internet, the public library, sexual education courses in school -- something. They may not have paid attention or known exactly where to find that information, but we've had the information available if they wanted it.

Still took them four fucking years to decide to go looking for answers.

Always remember that homosapiens, with all of our natural abilities, have walked this earth for 200,000 years.

That means it took our dumb asses about 188,000 years to decide to stop throwing rocks and sticks at each other in the dirt and start proactively cooperating to grow food.

That's some powerful stupid.

Then remember the first thing our stupid monkey asses used harnessing the power of the atom for.

"Big boomie boom rival monkey tribe! OOH OOH, AH AH!"

That means it took our dumb asses about 188,000 years to decide to stop throwing rocks and sticks at each other in the dirt and start proactively cooperating to grow food.

Bit harsh, I think nomadic humans were the best humans.

Literally four fucking years.

In evolutionary terms, this IS progress.

If this was truly the caveman days, they would just die after 10 years without reproducing

The fact that they went to get some help and conceived after 4 years is good for them.... But bad foe our collective gene pool

From the Newsweek article:

Although China's alarming lack of sex education has been a widely discussed issue in recent years, little progress has been made to address the problem. Today, the topic of sex remains largely taboo in schools.

The Great Firewall is supposed to block porn. So it doesn't sound like they had a lot of educational opportunities.

Uh...should they have kids...?

[–] Chozo@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have a hard time believing this. Everybody; men, women, and everyone in between and around, all know when something is being jammed into their ass.

[–] w00tabaga@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Ehhh, idk. If they grew up sheltered with no sex education it doesn’t. She knew it was going in her ass, she just thought that the baby hole was her ass
