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.

You're thinking of the Zodiac Killer. Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer.

[–] goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ted Cruz can be more than one thing. Don't pigeonhole Ted Cruz.

I've read online that he was the T-Rex in Jurassic Park.

You know, the goat eating one.

[–] goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean the one that staged an escape during a widespread power grid failure, leaving countless innocents to die while it disappeared to lavish in its tropical island paradise? Only to return, inexplicably, in the sequel, pretending all of a sudden to be the hero?

Nah, that doesn't sound like him at all!

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

Wait… the T-Rex was the hero in the JP2? I know it’s been a while, but… that doesn’t seem right.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasn't it the hero in the first one as well? It saved them from the raptors.

In... Jurassic World? It saved the day against the whatever Dino X they designed.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

wait... how many jurrasic parks are there?

More or less than Land Before Time at 18?

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

I think about tree fiddy. Maybe more.

[–] goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I was under the impression it got a big hero moment in one of the new Jurassic World movies fighting some even scarier double-dog-T-rex but I'll be damned if I'm gonna take the time outta my day to watch the movies and find out.

Yeah that T-Rex ate a lawyer, he’s a global hero.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, Ted Cruz is more of a Theodore Rex.

[–] ChaosInstructor@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i heard that he was the phantom killer...

[–] Nomad@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Shitter.... He was the phantom shitter.
