News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

End of all life on this planet is not an end I'm willing to walk towards
You don't think we're headed there anyways from climate change, pollution, deforestation, or any of the other shit that's already causing ecosystems to collapse and entire species to go extinct?
Climate change causes mass extinction, not total extinction. Nuclear war causes total extinction
I genuinely doubt nuclear war would cause total extinction.
Fortunately we have scientists who are smarter than you who have published studies showing it does
Well I probably won't survive either and it sure as shit feels like I can't stop either so I not gonna get too worried about it
You can stop it. Thats my whole point
Totally unrelated but as I'm reading this thread I'm listening to an audiobook and one of the characters said "End of all life on this planet" at practically the same time I read your comment.
What audiobook?
Eruption. Apparently Michael Crichton had a pet-project he was working on and his widow found an author to finish it...James Patterson.
I never read any James Patterson, but it does have a feel like a lot of Michael Crichton books I loved like Jurassic Park or Andromeda Strain...building up "how the hell could we let this happen" with entirely plausible scenarios and science with only enough fantasy to make it work.
Neither am I for the end of Ukraine.
