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.

"his children now range from 10 to 50 years old."
Surely his adult children should be providing for their own families, yes? Why is it on this 70 year old?
“I can only remember the names of my first and last born, but some of the others... I can’t recall their names,” Hasahya admitted while sifting through old notebooks that contain details of his children's births. His wives help him keep track, but even they struggle to keep up with the sheer number.
I would be seriously surprised if he would remember all of them.
“I never knew he had other wives when I first married him,” Zabina confided. “If I had, I might not have agreed to marry him. But when I came, he just kept bringing more wives, until he had 12.”
All I'm seeing is an inspiration for a fictional mythical characters I must write
Holy hell.
What a scumbag. So now other people need to pay for this losers choices so his kids don't die of starvation?
578 grandkids
At this point, this mf is not a villager, he is the fucking village
Ugandas Khan keeping the birth rates mfkin high af
Or perhaps, the village bicycle
Though Hasahya’s family continues to grow, he has taken steps to prevent further expansion. His wives now use contraceptives to stop more children from being born
Sounds like he didn’t take steps to do shit, he just put the responsibility on his wives to change.
I would have thought his part in contraception would be being 70.
Buddy’s sperm has the midas touch but instead of gold it turns eggs into fertilized eggs
They should have ate him a long time ago.
Eat your heart out, nick cannon
I mean I can definitely feel his pain.
While I feel the pain of his wives, with their 8 or 9 (living!) children each.
