YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

The deep south.
Thank you. I live here and the part that offends me is he called it the southern United States, like the southern United States doesn't go all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
Call it the southeast, call it the deep south, hell even just call it the south. But the southern United States ain't what's circled there.
Also, why does The South have the worst people in so many countries?
I find this to be mostly untrue. I run into less horrible people per capita here than the other areas I’ve lived and traveled in(excluding Louisiana; they are their own brand of “fuck you.”)
Everybody getting mad at OP, but I find the post reasonably accurate. Lived here all my life except a few years in Colorado around 1982-85 or so. I've lived in most of the circled states. These people are Trump lovers and Christians.. for the most part. I raised a mid-sized family here and we're all atheist Trump haters (that vote!), so I am more than aware #NotAllSoutherners!
But I was referring to what's in their heart, not how polite they are when I was referring to "the worst people". It shows up when we vote.
If i had to guess Remnants of racisim from the civil war. This became their identity and it makes them feel welcomed and normal.
Keep in mind this is not a southern problem. Ppl with confederate flags are all over the country. I remember a conversation with a colleague where he heard old ppl cursing Lincoln in a Walmart at 7 am. Another told me he sees rebel flags all over rural areas regularly. None of these ppl work fromer rebel states.
Oh, I know why it's so bad down here. I was just sort of wondering why places like Italy and Germany (and some others too, I forget tho) also have folks that are more rightwing, poorer, and less educated than those up north.
Oops.. places like southern Italy and Germany.
Oh probably cause they accept them for who they are. Like convince someone down on their luck or has a flaw its not their fault they are normal but someone else fault and you get them on your side. I see with with father, my FIL and brother.
My father could not be any better than he was because he was barely smarter than a Labrador. He did nothing to improve/save himself and demanded forgiveness for his faults. So he went ring wing cause they blamed someone he wasn't for being stuck in world.
FiL is make it big man. 10 failed businesses and 4 marriages later, its not him its God testing his faith like Job in bible. Also right wing.
My brother insanely intelligent like lex luthor. learns things I struggled undertsand with ease. But lacks persistence and motivation when hitting a road block. So he fails at everything. Also right wing with all of his other failed to launch friends.
Its a tragedy that humans unable see a way out are pulled down by other crabs in a bucket and become stuck in a cycle.
