A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

They hope the jacket falls off naturally and warn against dressing wildlife, which is illegal under provincial law.
I want to know the story behind this law.
We had a neighbor that had a pet moose names Baby. They spray painted her sides with big fluorescent X's to let hunters know to not shoot her. That lasted 2 seasons until she disappeared. In hindsight, maybe big X's weren't the best idea.
Which is probably for the best, because if she thought you had marshmallows, she was getting big enough to stomp you to death for them. She frickin' loved marshmallows and was becoming a hazard during campfire nights.
Make up your minds! Is it elusive or is it wearing high vis?
It is both, until you observe it, only then does the wave function collapse

Werewolves are not the same they used to be.
Hunters have been taking deer skins and wearing them since time immemorial. Why's it so weird for one of us to flip the script for a change?
"us"

Carry on...
As old time bull fighters used to say: some days the bull fighter wins, some days the bull wins.
Did they? I thought they were pretty particular about the bull dying as much as possible.
Oh, they did. Those times were just slightly less made known to broader audiences. But bulls win and usually with terminal results for the bull fighter.
Dressing wildlife is illegal? The nanny state at work again
I'm responsible. And I'll do it again if that deer takes it off. I'm tired of it smoking on the side of the road at night and having to swerve to avoid it.
everyone freaks out when you don't wear the PPE, and then they freak out when you do wear the PPE smh
'...he noted: “Deer are not predisposed to wearing clothes.”
The deer isn't stupid, it knows it's hunting season. Orange would have been better, but if you find yellow laying on the ground, you just go with it.
Simple explanation:
Alcohol
So the deer blacked out at the party and woke up with a high-vis vest on with no idea why?
Every damned time.
It was either shaving or the vest.
Simple explanation is that it's someone's semi-pet they didn't want to get shot during the hunting season..
More likely to prevent her from being hit by a car
Wouldn't the high viz jacket make it easier for hunters to find and shoot?
Who would shoot the deer wearing a high-viz jacket?
It's not that uncommon, depending on how actively the state DNR hunts down pet deer.
onlyfans sure has some funky niches
