You Should Know
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.

Who goes to an airport without a passport?
people who don't need a passport to go to an airport?
this is all new. none of this was required until VERY recently.
Nearly 100% of people traveling domestically...?
Previously you could just use a driver's license for domestic flights without the fine.
Not previously, currently. You still can, it just has to be "real id".
Who goes to the USA?
People already in the USA
they fly a lot internally, also. sadly, they're not exactly known for good railway.
it's also somewhat easier and faster to fly 3,000 miles than to take a train
People old enough to remember when you didn't need any ID at all for domestic flights?
Ah yes the good old days of seeing how close you could get to the airport before boarding time and watching everyone rippin’ butts in the terminal’s smoking area on their layover
I'm not going to lie, having a crowd of people waiting at the end of the deboarding tunnel for you was freaking awesome.
I’d say a majority of Americans in any US airport. I have a passport and never take mine, and I fly at least monthly.
Lots of Americans traveling domestically. I was also in awe of that.
I don’t like flying so I’m apt to drive even longer distances. Driving just a few states over (less than half the country) is often a 12-14 hour drive without stopping.
After a couple of those drives you’ll be in less awe of all the flying lol
People in the EU/EEA can fly within the EU using an European ID, rather than passport.
Are you from the future? ;-)
The European ID is still stuck in some suggestion phase, so you have to keep using the national IDs or passports for now.
That's what I mean, yes. So what @VibeSurgeon@piefed.social said is right.
Guessed as much but wanted to make it clear (especially to the non-Europeans present here) that there is no such thing as a European ID (yet).
I'm guessing they meant an ID card issued in an EU country
Guessed so before, but the fact might not be so clear especially to non-Europeans.
And as it is a somewhat important distinction, the correcting comment was needed here.
