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.

Stupid moose.
Sometimes they wander right through town and not only does no one do anything, some asshole hangs around them playing the harmonica.
All this needs is some poutine, someone playing hockey, and a bunch of apologizing..
You omitted maple syrup.
Sorry.
Some crokinole action and Nanaimo bars.
Was it the same moose?
Moose when he gets home to his wife and foals: You would not believe the day I'm having
Moose's wife: * hides the divorce pinecones *
I shed a tear for the star-crossed love of a lady moose and a wayward EMT.
A serial moosing.
You don't hit moose, moose hit you.
Were the meese alright?
Yes, apparently, they meesed.
I'm glad nobody got dead. This way we can make jokes without feeling like assholes. (do hope the critically injured person pulls through.)
So. is it Moosen? Meese? Mooses?
How do you know? They never said that moose had survived?
Often moose hit by a car have to be euthanized because their legs are broken (moose are tall af). The one hit by the ambulance would also likely be euthanized as it would have suffered internal injuries.
moose hit by a car have to be euthanized
... After retrieval from the front seat. Apparently they are the same height as the windshield.
Not really. What happens is the car hits them at 'knee' level and they slide up the hood into the front seat.
With compact vehicles they land on the roof, crushing the occupants.
I know this because I lived in NorthWestern Ontario for 15 years and knew of people who were severely injured or died in moose collisions.
Many much moosen.
without feeling assholes
Unless the right person asks nicely.
True
(And fixed it, awkward typo is awkward.)
I drive this road a lot. There are moose warning signs often in the park.
I avoid driving early in the morning or after sundown on this road for exactly this reason.
sorry but how is this world news
Edit: okay, apparently the sidebar says "no United States internal news" so implicitly this is fine. carry on
....and so on and so forth
A moose once bit my sister
....No realli!
My hovercraft is full of eels.
We apologise for the fault in the comments. Those responsible have been sacked.
Someone wasn't listening when they were supposed to learn the Golden Rules of EMS -
'You are there to be a part of the solution. Don't become part of the problem.'
And for those that are wondering about the rest of the rules:
'If you think you understand what is going on, you haven't been paying attention'
'PPE! All the time, every time!'
And finally - '..............into the recovery position - Always roll the patient towards you partner so you don't get puked on.'
Universal driver training needed I guess
a moose ate my cousin me and mooses got a feud
No-one seems.to be discussing the third moose.
OPP said the officers responding to the first collision had also just finished investigating another crash between a car and a moose, but there were no serious injuries in that incident.
Of all the things to ever happen, this is the thingest to happen ever
