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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

It's funny to me that you say this because thinking don't this one, humans are just anthropomorphic primates that have decided that we're the best. Humans will do anything to try to separate us and then make religion as thing and go humanity hasn't starts until this one carpenter made a cult. Try to use the whole we think where we come from are conscious and have a society we can talk have a language and look st each other differently ; SO DO ANIMALS!!!!!
I bet salmon look up at the moon and glance and wonder what it's all about but humans need to put a reason to it.
Apex predators aren't even better than anything else out there they can just eat whatever the fuck they want. Let's not forget the how many ice ages and cave people and the religion free Neanderthals and ages of time where animals bigger than the tallest building roamed in the land, sea and air.
Humans are a fucking joke even if you strip away religious things and all that humans are a fucked up species that unless it's our pets, seeing a dead animal in the street going to the zoo or hunting we don't give a fuck.
Like you know how they say eyes are the gateway to the soul well Steve Irwin knew it and he looked at other animals like an animal and respected them for what they were, that's why he was so special and it's so fucked up that anyone who can do that, who can truly have a bond with the creatures that are surrounding us, our fellow animals are the people who get called having a way with animals when it's really just connecting in the way that we are them.
