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.

Stop paying attention to the stupid shit they're saying to distract from the evil shit they're gonna be doing.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm not going to be paying attention to any of it. Fascism 101. But the fascist scum have apparently "won" so here we are.

America is a write-off. Let the filth destroy it.

I’m not going to be paying attention to any of it

Cool, then don't.

Why hang around and tell people to stop caring?

If you want to stop caring, just do it. But that's clearly not what's happening.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was merely pointing out that flooding the citizens with insane bullshit is fascism 101 and that's exactly what the tangerine toddler and his band of filthy fucking nazis will be doing 24/7 for the next (hopefully) 4 years.

Nothing we can do about it except watch some Mario Brothers in the meantime.

That is an opinion.

And it's fine if it's yours, but why are you going around trying to convince people?

If you're right, it doesn't matter. If you're wrong, you're helping trump.

But in either case, just go watch your Mario Brothers, that's what you said you wanted to do, so just go do it. No one is stopping you, you're choosing not to right now.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Ok so in Mario Brothers, Luigi is the best character.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 51 points 1 year ago

doesn't even break the top-10 of stupidest shit to come out of his mouth this week.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

Like Twitter I'll misname it out of disrespect.

[–] RedWeasel@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why is he thinking so small? Why not rename the Pacific Ocean to American Ocean? China and Japan have seas and India has an Ocean.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

The Atlantic Ocean belongs to Atlanta. To make it sound more like how it's pronounced by the locals, we'll rename it the A-lan-nic Ocean.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I'm only surprised he didn't demand it be called the Gulf of Trump.

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

The gulf of trump is the empty space between his ears.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

You're not wrong... especially since he feels the need to plaster his name on everything. But don't give him ideas....

On that note, can we collectively change "trump card" to being a bad thing?

[–] habitualTartare@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

"Trump's gulf hurricane wipes out south"

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Trump Toilet Bowl

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

When he announced it, there was a short pause with an expectant look

I can't shake the thought that he was hoping for someone to yell out "let's name it the gulf of Trump!"

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

Sure. Its all a fucking joke, now.

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

One wonders how upset he'll be when he learns that Mexico is in America. North America, even.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Seems like it's time for a name change of the USA in Spanish.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Estados Estupidos —> Stupid States

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Estados Jodidos more like.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

The official name of Mexico is “Estados Unidos Mexicanos”

Deadnaming geography, so hot right now.

La tierra del hombre naranja

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Everybody else in the world still gonna call it Gulf of Mexico

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, we won't. That's stupid.

[–] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea

We're listing names that are intentionally deceptive right?

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] CCMan1701A@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Gulf of Freedom

[–] vodkasolution@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

I already call him "ahahahahahah", and it's ok, people understand immediately

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let me guess, he posted that to twitter?

See how that works?

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you read literally the first sentence of the article you would not need to guess.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Tell me you don't get it without telling me you don't get it.
