Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

best orgasm of his life

I love that they actually turned this into an episode of It's Always Sunny - it was entirely believable as the sort of scheme the gang would come up with.
When I saw the episode I had no idea it was based on a real life story 🤯😆
So it's not real. It's a meme that serious journalists are asking him about.
I mean, he has cheated before, he's admitted that. So it's at least partially real.
I guess we're anal vibe people now
That was definitely the most "sunny" episode of the season in my mind.. Absolutely classic
I didn't know the meme or who this person is, and I know about as much about vibrating sex toys as I know about chess- just the basics, I'm not an expert.
- how can someone cheat at chess?
- how can someone cheat at chess using a vibrator????
-
Have an accomplice feeding the game into a computer to figure out the best move to make next.

Send the information to the chess player using Morse code butt vibrations.
Nakamura said in a podcast all he would need to know is that there is a winning move and he'd be able to find it.
So, just one buzz is enough that says "in this position there is a move that wins the game".
Kinda like everyone's ratings in puzzles is higher than in elo because by the very nature of the puzzle there is a winning sequence to find.
In play, if I don't spot a winning tactic I just move to (try to) improve my position. In puzzles if I don't spot a winning tactic, I look again, and again, and again....
Yes, that would be easier to keep track, and less risk of accidentally cumming.
I see, a wide array of skills and strict organisation.
- you use a super genius AI
- you stick it in the ass, and have your partner play a genius AI, partner mimicking the real opponents moves, then somehow coordinate the AIs move to you using the vibrator.
Its convoluted but technically not impossible
It's a very shittily written article.
Why did anyone even listen to this bullshit. This must be the biggest case of bullying of modern times.
- Hans has admitted to cheating in the past
- Hans played a near-perfect game as black against the best player in the world who hadn't lost as white in years
- Hans made some suspiciously good moves quickly, without much time passing
- Magnus played a very rare opening that Hans was somehow able to perfectly respond to without skipping a beat
From these, many people think he cheated. The vibrating butt plug is unlikely, but what is more likely is that Magnus' prep got leaked and Hans was able to hyper-prepare for a specific line of play.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An American grandmaster who was part of a row which rattled the world of chess has denied using a vibrating sex toy to cheat.
In September 2022 Hans Niemann sat down to play Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen in chess's Sinquefield Cup St Louis, Missouri.
Niemann won, but was accused by Carlsen of cheating - a claim which sparked a huge legal row between the pair.
On Monday evening, Niemann spoke to Piers Morgan Uncensored about the scrutiny he has faced since being accused of cheating.
Niemann admitted that he had cheated twice in online matches on Chess.com aged 12 and 16, but denied he had done so in the Sinquefield Cup or any in-person game.
Last month, Chess.com said it stood by its report on Niemann, "including that we found no determinative evidence that he has cheated in any in-person games".
The original article contains 371 words, the summary contains 141 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
No vibrating butt plugs were used in his win.
Isn't that almost like a L?
Did they check for vibrating cock rings?
Are the chess groupies really worth it?
I remember all these headlines from last year. Ironically it made Chess more famous imo. I suddenly had so many friends mentioning chess to me because of this lol.
