What surprisingly is even less safe: Using stairs.
Statistics show e.g. using stairs to be about 3 times more deadly than traffic participation as a pedestrian in my country.
So it would actually make much more sense to print "Don't drink and use stairs" on the bottle. :-)

Be/get: interesting, I thought there to be a major difference (one describing a state already in, the other the process leading there).
.

I think it’s an alternative warning about a different danger

What bugs me for this interpretation, is that the warning about drunk driving would then be completely missing. That doesn't make sense somehow.

Better drive, then...

Now, earnestly:
Could this just be a translation error? There is also another slight semantic error in there, if I'm not mistaken (be/get).

No, just using the standard Gboard on Android. It has build-in handwriting recognition which for some reasons I like better than the standard virtual keyboard.

And regarding the remaining typing errors: just take them as an indication that I'm very likely not an AI ;-)

The "slipt" was probably caused by a false-friends-like scenario based on the translated word in my mother tongue: "entschlüpft".
Notice the added "t" at the end that denotes the past tense.

Not 100% identical scenario, but near enough:

See e.g. here.

The relevant part:

The second difference between each, every, and all impacts how the objects of a sentence are distributed among the members of the group. Look at this:

Each child wore a hat. → one hat per child

Every child wore a hat. → one hat per child

All the children wore a hat. → the children shared one hat

So the wish would add one additional electron to the entire universe.

(Pretending to know anything about mystic omens):
From left to right, or the other way?

Thanks.

The second part is finally a very good example for a reply that is not gatekeeping but actually helpful.
Would perhaps be a good idea to have that exact paragraph be put at the top of the community description.

And regarding the first part:
If stumbling across a post linking to inaccessible content in any community:
Instant reaction will always be leaving a "Paywalled" or similar comment.
That's just basic netiquette to inform other users and give the OP a hint that he might want to do something about it.

subject the community is dedicated to

Following the title of the community and its description, I (and apparently other people as well) got the distinct impression this subject to be "alternative urban mobility".

I now understand that it is a fan-community for some bike-influencer instead?
This came as somewhat of a surprise, as there are no obvious indications for it.

And, btw, the gatekeeping didn't help.

Well, I tried my best. Read the community info and all.

It contains strict policies against spamming and also low-effort posts.

And a post only consisting of just a link to a paid website would be considered both, meaning low-effort spam, by most people.
So please excuse my confusion. I think it should be understandable.

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 day ago (11 children)

Understood.

Please just make that clearer in the description next time to perhaps spare people, who don't know these facts and have never head about Jason or Nebula before, unnecessary clicks.

Oh, you are right...
Sorry, handwriting recognition sometimes has its own mind.
And this error must have slipt my prove reading as it is just too well camouflaged...
