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.

Obviously this purge will increase the background mortality rate in the USA by some fraction over the next decade, killing tens of thousands due to cancer and complications of malnutrition.

But can we look on the lighter side? I have always claimed gummy bears are a nutritional meal, and there are fewer people to stop me from advertising that now

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

But which brand of gummy bears? This is important.

[–] Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Brand doesn't matter as long as they're sugar free.

It's critical that you eat the whole bag in one sitting as there aren't as many nutrients as the regular gummy bears.

Sugar free and not imported 👊🇺🇸🐻

Haribo are so hard you can use them instead of rubber bullets.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Always Haribo

I think of peanut m & ms as a health food.

Protein my dude!

Wasn’t there an article that said 90% of American products produce cancer? I mean, just don’t buy anything American.

UV light "produces cancer". Don't go outside.

[–] NeonNight@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I do think there is something to be said about what is allowed in American food but outright banned everywhere else. There’s a reason we have more colon cancer and gastrointestinal problems among our citizens, and it’s not just because we overeat. Anyone who goes to Europe notices how much better they feel after eating their food consistently, and how much worse they feel when they come back to the US

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Way ahead of ya, pal.

Exactly and it’s the mayor cause of skin cancer, wear your sunscreen!

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Why take that risk? Board up the windows.

If packaging in California is anything to go by, literally everything you touch causes cancer

In February, Dr. Hall said that N.I.H. officials told him he couldn’t be listed as an author on a yet-to-be-published scientific review on ultraprocessed foods that he co-wrote with a group of university scientists. This was because the review included language about “health equity” (it acknowledged that some people in the United States don’t have access to healthy food). This discussion may not have aligned with President Trump’s views on diversity, equity and inclusion.

What was he censored about you ask? Must have been something really secret, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a big deal, right? Right?

I just can't even comprehend the stupidity of all of this.

Every single day, bombarded with one horrific, idiotic thing after another. It's exhausting.
