  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

Or when Corona beer sales plummeted because people thought it would give them coronavirus.

I’ll never forget when the CDC’s official coronavirus FAQ had “Can I contract coronavirus from eating Chinese food?”. That was a real eye opener to just how many dumbasses are out there.

Suddenly trump being reelected isn't so surprising, eh?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Are you sure about that? I thought coronavirus sales plummeted because people were worried it'd give them Corona beer.

Yeesh! I forgot about that one; maybe because it made me think sad things about Americans. Learning this week that half of the population isn't literate enough to read a prescription bottle, well that's reignited sad thoughts and worries. #noChildKeptBehind
