Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @[email protected]

MODERATORS
This is a combination of the oil lobby and car parts companies producing parts not needed for EVs. The later is already in a death spiral.
Latter with two t. It is not yet a late company.
Water is wet I guess
"China is not playing fair* so we need tariffs!"
*terms and conditions apply
What touches water is wet.
Water is touching water
The cohesion and adhesion of water necessitates that it has enough molecules to interact with each other. Any time water is divided, the forces that allow it to make things wet either have to be ignored or the water has to be separated enough that each part is no longer in contact with the other. So water either can't be touching itself because it's separate and can't make something it's not touching wet or it's still a singular conceptual entity doesn't change its own properties simply by existing.
so 7up is wet but not water??
... Do you know what the main ingredient in 7up is?
Sugar?
water is touching the other ingredients...
The other ingredients are now wet.
and so the intire drink is wet
It isn't already hot enough in Europe I guess
Europe could become a desert and this would still be in the "news". Climate change is terrible at direct policy change motivation so far, it happens more indirect by deinfrastructuring and then people don't want to make the connection.
We'll remember this once the tribunals begin
Welp, at least there will be a nice beach in Frankfurt. Hope it's not leading straight into a desert.
