Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Well, if I still ate cereal, I would stop eating kellogg's.

Besides, that breakfast cereal was created because Kellogg thought that it would stop people from masturbating.

I mean, it works though. I’m not masturbating most of the times I eat corn flakes.

I’d try to make it every time but it feels grrrreat

[–] TruthAintEasy@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Man, I cant help but laugh at this. I give my boys advice on how to clean up after, not like they arent going to do it anyways. Even monkeys wank often using their own mouth, god bless them. Some religions have their gods wank us into existance...

I think Kellog was a closeted homosexual pederast, why else would he spend so much time and effort thinking of teenage boys and their bits?

W-what? I mean late 1800s I'm not too much in disbelief, but considering I didn't find a single word of this theory mentioned in wikipedia (and there was a completely different origin story) so this kinda sounds like a moon nazi theory

They are probably mixing up history facts with the graham cracker guy:

The graham cracker was inspired by the preaching of Sylvester Graham, who was part of the 19th-century temperance movement. He believed that minimizing pleasure and stimulation of all kinds, including the prevention of masturbation, coupled with a vegetarian diet anchored by bread made from wheat coarsely ground at home, was how God intended people to live, and that following this natural law would keep people healthy.

I admit the statement is a bit reductionist, but it was part of his idea that a bland diet would help with his other ideas surrounding abstinence. Most of which are rather suspect.

I see, so mostly trying to sell product with his politics and worldview

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, he also had a "spa" that was based around "clean living", he was very much selling both.
