Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

If someone said ‘I really admire your passion for self exploration’ in a genuine conversation, I would think they were on drugs.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 year ago

Not gonna lie I thought self exploration meant they are squeezing the monkey or jilling off.

Yeah I think i'd call HR and tell them that someone has been stalking me while i was self exploring myself

At least half of these are creepy as fuck things to say to someone 😂

You'd sound either completely fake or fuckin autistic

"I love how transparent you are"

"I can see right through you" 😂

Depending on the context, some of those can also be savage insults.

I love how transparent you are...

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Ive been drinking a lot of bleach and that's been making my skin more see through.

every compliment can be an insult in the ~~right~~ wrong context

[–] AIhasUse@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

You can add this one

"You made a really nice guide. It definitely is a guide, not at all a list."

Nothing physical there, but if you look hard enough for something that you want to find, you'll find it even if its not there

[–] Chuymatt@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I believe the first was serious, second… not so much.

[–] JohnOliver@feddit.dk 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In a list of non physical compliments, I think that it is fair to assume that 'you are strong' refers to mental, emotional or psychological strength

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Neither was serious

[–] thrawn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It was definitely a joke

[–] God_Is_Love@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Love it, I'm saving this! Sometimes it's easier to compliment what we see so it's nice to be reminded to think a little harder about how we want to uplift people
