  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 a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Nobody going to mention a Cask of Amontillado? Maybe not the most mind-bending example, but the tale of leading a supposed friend to their own horrific murder was not a thing I expected to be reading in school.

“For the love of God, Montresor!”

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago

The reply to that just being "Yes, for the love of God," was cold as ice.

Funnily enough I did on a similar post a month ago.

i remember that post, was actually hoping to find it again as there had been some great recommendations! glad you mentioned it here.

Was that before or after the school-shooting lockdown drills?

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

After the hide under your desk from nuclear bombs drills but before the active shooter drills.

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nuclear attack drills? I don't think we ever did those, I've just heard about them from older people. How old are you? I thought those stopped in like the 80s or something.

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

I grew up in a small town in Canada. We never had any kind of lock down drills.

Dang, things must be pretty good up in Canada. People are sending their children to first grade with ballistic-shielded backpacks down here.

[–] jaxxed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There is a modicum of school violence in Canada, primarily in Urban/Metro centres, but not enough to cause general panic. Tue States has a pretty unique problem.

That story still haunts me, and I've been trying to remember where it was from for over a decade.

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

Wasn't even required reading for me. I was just flipping through my textbook one day and found that in one of the sections the class was never going to reach.
