News
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.

I'd like to know what you're taking so I never take it.
I just had a soda and a vegan burger. So... I guess eat meat and avoid high fructose corn syrup? 🫤
Phew, I ate a beyond burger earlier and I'm still cogent and coherent. Guess it's the corn syrup, just like my dad warned me.
I don't believe this conspiracy theory (or not believe it), I am just saying it exists. But yes, without the corn syrup, I would probably be a better and sexier person.
Then why parrot chafe into the conversation at all?
I am adding it for posterity in case it does happen. I don't believe or disbelieve this, but I have seem "conspiracy theories" proven true later and sometimes it's like people forget the "crazy" people mentioned the truth months or years prior. I want this here so that if proven true, the word "misinformation" will start to be viewed skeptically as the Ministry of Truth word that it is, divorced from science and discourse.
Adding distracting points into the public discourse when people are seeking clarity doesn't seem like a noble goal.
What do you get out of it at the end, the ability to say "told you so"?
What if Kamala does step in due to the very real odds of a medical issue happening, then shall we start believing conspiracy theorists on other points?
My point remains the same, you're occluding understanding of the situation, both currently and in the future, and I don't like that.
Others are occluding discourse by banning discussion as misinformation to control all narratives, then acting as though conspiracy theorists weren't correct. This narrative control is from an elite whose lies are vast enough to occlude the sun.
Overly dramatic verbiage aside, I'm not seeing any discussion here, of utility anyway.
Good day.
He pretty clearly stated that it was the conspiracy nuts in his first comment.
Poor fella. Read my question again, but this time try to think about it.
It's adorable when someone who doesn't understand the concept of discussing an idea's existence tries to be condescending.
For example, I can say "there are people who think the earth is flat" while not endorsing the idea of a flat earth.
Cute and useless, as is customary for ya.
People are looking for clarity about all this, I used the word chafe on purpose.
Think about it.
