General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Thank God we’ve got the government here to protect us.

Can't let the children have access to an Encyclopedia. Too dangerous. We have ChatGPT to give them all the information they need.

They might look up adult content like "balls" or "boobs"

I remember doing that with a regular dictionary in middle school english class

edit: Yes I was scarred for life. Wish the government had intervened.

I did the same and look at me now. Let this be a warning to all you youngsters.

You realize that by banning Boobs we will save Gaza

heck I can still remember the way to the shelf in my local library that contained a nat geo book on various tribes that, of course, contained boobs.

I can’t believe they let you see pictures of other naked humans as a small human!! What a failure of federal government

Ok realistically, at what age does it stop being not ok for a kid to see (ordinary) sex? Is it ever?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

I hear, you have to get married before you're allowed into the presence of the other gender. And don't even think about showering without the cone.

We had those in elementary school, along with corpses and a decapitated rhino. Maybe that explains Gen X.
