Whilst Lemmy is growing and trying to compete in content against the goliath that is reddit it needs to be reposted so to speak. I'm not about taking original or potentially original posts and claiming them as my own so it's good practice to source the location of the original.

We are competing with a platform that has existed since 2005, it's no easy task. You may find posts that are original posts. Just again best practice. Source the original.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Just credit the reddit user, that's all you need. If anyone really cares they can go to reddit and look at their profile. That way you can still give credit where credit is due, and not increase reddit foot traffic.

[–] LillianVS 56 points 2 years ago (3 children)

In fairness, I have just been doing this when mildly infuriating was born (5 days ago) and I want to ensure I am doing enough in terms of respecting the original poster. It is a good suggestion though.

I guess a template of "Repost from [username] on [insert website]" would do fine." Good comment!

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago

Just wanted to say that I appreciate you trying to give credit in the best way you can think of.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like how so far it seems people here are less aggressive and more willing to work together towards a goal that satisfies both parties rather than have a big dick swinging contest and get nowhere. Good job Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I only participate in little dick swinging contests, because I can win those

[–] shankrabbit 9 points 2 years ago

I can't. :(

What is even the point of this?

Remember the end of Titanic, when the crew needs to keep the poor folks away from the life rafts?

[–] riodoro1 16 points 2 years ago

That didn't really happen tho.

The problem with 3rd class passenger not getting to the lifeboats was that the boat deck was accessible to I class, II class and ships crew. The III class folks were completely unfamiliar with that part of the ship (and parts leading to boat deck - the whole superstructure). At first some officers were mentioned to have enforced class segregation between areas but that was also a time when people went back to their cabins because "this ship is unsinkable, nothing bad will happen". When it became clear the ship is doomed the III class did reach the boat deck but already most life boats were launched.

Without reading the post, to deter vandals and mystery poopers.

Someone's just gonna pee across the gate into the floor of the bathroom lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fill up a dollar store water gun with pee. Blast that stream as far as it'll go

[–] c2h6 5 points 2 years ago

"Don't cross the streams!"

Get them ready for prison in advance

[–] IMongoose 7 points 2 years ago

This is almost certainly because of the social media trend to destroy public bathrooms. Not "teehee I pulled out a lot of toilet paper" but "I body slammed the air dryer until it broke off."

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago

Gotta train them kids to become familiar with prison environments. There's a whole industry waiting for them.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

This link/post is mildly infuriating

[–] stormageddon 20 points 2 years ago

My first thought is that's crazy and way overboard. My second thought is what have y'all been doing to the bathrooms??

[–] _number8_ 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

being an adult now, it's so weird seeing how schools were so overly punitive. why not treat kids decently like in college early on? even in kingergarten i'd understand 'you can use the bathroom now if you want but either way you have to learn the alphabet'

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Because students take advantage (i mean we all did im one way or another). The younger the kids, the more parents (and the law) treat the school as responsible for the student and their supervision. That being said, in my opinion access to a bathroom is a basic human right.

i swear, schools will do everything they can to stop you from taking a piss when you need

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Oh I'm sure the students will find another use for that drinking fountain.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Looks to me like it is the school that is taking the piss.

My social-anxiety-causing-diarrhea -ass would hate this so much

[–] TigerClawTV 18 points 2 years ago

In my neighborhood, someone would pee in the water fountain if this happened

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children)

This started happening in my high school a few years ago, Everyone seems to think that they did it to make it easier to catch people doing weed by closing half of the bathrooms at any given time. It's super annoying because the bathroom closest to my classes are always the ones to be locked for some reason so I have to walk across the entire school (the school is really big) to get to an open bathroom and when I do get there it's usually so dirty and crowded that it's almost unusable.

What’s it do? Test your DNA to make sure you only use the “correct” bathroom?

[–] SeeMinusMinus 14 points 2 years ago

Fuck it. I am peeing in the hallways!

[–] woodhouse 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'm definitely choosing this school to hide during the zombie apocalypse

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 7 points 2 years ago

Just what a guy with a bunch of bite marks would say.

[–] Wolfric1982 11 points 2 years ago

Pee in the water fountain

I'd just piss on the gate or something, make them rethink that decision

kids today have it tough that's for sure. I'm curious to see how this affects society as a whole in 20-30 years.

That's when you familiarize yourself with the locations of the teachers' lounges / bathrooms. When the need strikes you march in like you own the place and declare that they can either let you piss in the toilet or you're going on their crappy industrial couch with its 1970s cigarette burns.
