Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

When you drink antifreeze///

I picked up an off-brand energy drink that was neon red at some random convenience store once at 3 in the morning, and the next time I took a leak my pee was lime green. After that, perfectly fine. Never got an explanation lol

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 9 points 14 hours ago

Consuming a lot of certain B vitamins can turn your pee green, I think they're also pretty commonly added to energy drinks

Just going to leave this here

Eat beets.
Forget you ate beets.
Peek.
Slightly panic for the fraction of a second before you remember you ate beets.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago

Panic, not know about the beetroot thing, go to hospital and then get told to stop wasting their time by an annoyed doctor who doesn't want to deal with your stupidity.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 2 points 14 hours ago

The daycare called me at work freaking out and asking me to come get my daughter and get her to the doctor because she was pissing red. Turns out they had been feeding her beetroot.

I remember crying on the toilet for at least 30 minutes when I was a kid. My pee was red-ish, my poop was red. I thought I was bleeding from everywhere.

My father finally got out from me why I was crying for so long, and explained that, yes, it is indeed related to the 2 jars of pickled beets I ate.

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

i pooped red and panicked until like a week later that I was just a fatass who ate an entire family sized bag of hot Cheetos in one sitting

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I recently had a short illness that involved my body thoroughly purging anything I put inside of it without much change to the content. (I'm mostly better now.)

At one point my wife made me a 32oz smoothie in the hopes that it would provide me with some nutrients. It was visually very dark. I consumed and enjoyed it, then fell asleep and forgot about it.

A few hours later, I ran to the bathroom with great urgency and was very alarmed until I remembered the smoothie.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 1 points 16 hours ago

As bland as I've ever found The Cleveland Show, their one joke about beets has stood the testament of time in my head, and still finds me singing 🎵 It's not blooood~ 🎵 on random occasions lol

[–] colin@lemmy.uninsane.org 10 points 1 day ago

same thing but it was black because of the licorice-flavored icecream at a tourist shop. someday i want to go back and try the other flavors: i suspect they're all like that and this is part of the novelty.

[–] J92@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Purple dragon fruit, too. It's like your pouring the cordial directly into the bowl.

After reading "Reddit, assemble!", I imagined a bunch of superheroes in stereotypical reddittor attire.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

What is the stereotypical Reddit attire?

[–] blue@feddit.org 5 points 12 hours ago

Neckbeard and fedora?

Vitamin B12 turns your pee vivid neon yellow if your body doesn't absorb it. I pour nooch (Nutritional yeast, savory substitute for dry crumbly cheeses) on like every other thing I eat, and it's pretty much the most B12-dense food there is, so my pee is often like comic book bright yellow.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 14 hours ago

What are the health effects so far?

[–] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 3 points 20 hours ago

That plus a microdose of beet juice is a common way to fake the color aspect of diluting your urine drug test.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

nooch

Is that an actual slang term for nutritional yeast? I'm struggling to think of a less appetizing word.

Then again, I can see myself letting out a dumb little laugh while saying "I'm nooching my corn", so maybe it's actually brilliant.

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Yeah it is, I fucking hate it too along with whoever the hell coined it but it's used so frequently in discussion that I stopped fighting it.

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

I believe it is also a specific brand of nutritional yeast seasoning.

Lower right quadrant is "stop eating so much asparagus"!

Lower left could also be "stop drinking so much carrot juice"! But that might just be a skin color thing.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Asparagus is good for you. It removes excess salt from your body.

[–] GhostPain@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Ok Stinky. lol

lower left can also be "fuck i just woke up. i need to drink something"

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I was on a backpacking trip around the age of 17, multi-day thing. They had packets of some kind of electrolyte drink in some of the dehydrated meals. It was bright green colored. Everyone who ate that meal packet that night had pee in the range of 'wat' to 'wwwat?', followed by a poop with a distinct segment in the 'wat' range.

more urine?

Purple in a catheter bag is totally a thing btw, and considered benign.

The cleanup is very practical.

sweetart brand candy cane?

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 2 points 16 hours ago

Ohh that's the good shit.

Depends on how much liquor I drink, but yeah, sometimes.
