Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

Partial answer to a question that has been bugging me for a while. What happens after the semen extraction squad does their work?

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

The most normal answer is they give it to the family of the dead terrorist

Now what happens when the dead terrorist didn't have a wife? I wouldn't be surprised there are institutions promoting "Get pregnant with the ~~evil seed of a dead terrorist~~ seed of a fallen hero". Perhaps you might receive a check from the cancer entity for "your service to the Nation" even.

The concept is already mindbogginly fascistic before adding my speculation

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It has to be the exploitation of poverty. I cannot fathom someone, even someone pro-Israel, hell even an Israeli soldier giving enough of a shit about the cause to get ghost pregnant. The only audience I could possibly imagine are people who post on LinkedIn and provocative OnlyFans creators who would use the fallen hero marketing to get attention.

amusing idea: what if there was a whole cohort of childless Israeli parents getting embryo implanted to "rebuild the race" or whatever totally wack shit they call this crap, but like every other western/capitalist institution, its got a complete weirdo at the center of the project and he is implanting thousands of families with his personal offspring. like one of those fertility clinics where the doctor uses his own material to get like several hundred women pregnant.

so like there is even more collapse in genetic diversity among these freaks, but they can't blame being on an island for centuries like Iceland. it's just due to supercharged freaks taking the high speed train to Banana Town.

I think it was the Chapo boys who drew the comparison between King Charles II being giga inbred and people being upset that a dweeb was ruling over them only to find that the same concentration of power in capitalism fosters the same sort of dweebiness. If you mixed in some actual inbreeding again then history would be repeating itself.

Joke's aside it's very easy to cryogenically preserve human semen.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I know but kinda pointless if you don't have a bunch of women that want to become single mothers. Or in this case Mexican surrogates.

I assume they bought some eggs, but as of now you still need wombs.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

i saw a science headline about a chick being hatched from an artificial egg, maybe they're making bird people

[–] CrispyFern@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

In bird culture, This is considered a dick move.

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

They already tried that with mantises, and uh, it didn't go well.
