Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

If amazes me that people were able to get this photo.

Humans should be renamed to how they look when you violently depressurise them.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

unfortunately (or fortunately?) a vacuum only presents us with 1atm of pressure difference, which rather sucks for the whole staying alive thing but isn't enough to make you puff up or anything.

Rob Bottin lied to me? 🥺

I volunteer trump to see how he looks in the vacuum of space.

The "Total Recall Choker" is a hominid responsible for the anthropocene. Their species managed to classify a small number of beetles before they went extinct.

That is what it would look like out of the water. Aside from being alive.

[–] arisunz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 59 points 2 days ago (2 children)

bruh who even zips their pants back up while getting OUT of the bathroom 😭

In my experience, a particularly drunk man at a sports bar.

[–] parody@lemmings.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What is pictured is known to me mostly only theoretically. Someone female presenting zipping up their pants! Definitely did a double take on that.

[–] proudblond@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

lol we have jeans with zipper flies too. Wearing some right now!

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dunno about you, but I zip up after I leave the stall, and before I exit the public bathroom.

[–] Acters@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I simply zip up before getting out of the stall or move away from the bidet to go wash my hands lol

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not when there's a line I hope. It wastes people's time.

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

It takes a second

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 66 points 2 days ago (5 children)

If you hear the flushing when the person exits, they didn't wash their hands.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 49 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If they're zipping up while walking out, that's 100% confirms it

[–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

Sometimes I'm double checking my zipper on the way out after I washed my hands. Rarely, but simetimes, it needs adjusted.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Are the sinks inside the cubicles in America then?

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why would cubicles be marked with gender separators? Isn't it usually the entire bathroom with sinks inside?

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Then why would we think the person exiting hasn't washed their hands? Surely it's more likely they're just heading to the sinks.

What I meant is that this looks like the outside of two bathrooms, each having stalls and sinks inside. I haven't really seen any bathroom where the stalls are separated but the sinks are not.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So they're more likely just heading to the sink to wash their hands.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In that very rare case, yes.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But the first commenter in this thread said it like it was normal

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

If you're at a house, the sink is always behind the door which is the context this rings true to me. Or if you are waiting outside a commercial single occupancy bathroom. Those used to have men and women signs but today often times they're not gendered.

I went to one bar once that had private cubicles with no sink inside, and a shared sink for everybody.

I guess I've never seen a "cubicle" with a sink inside but I have seen single occupancy bathrooms.

[–] tuxiqae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago

What if you hear the flush of another person?

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

If it's single stall, maybe. There's no lock on the door, so this is a multi-stall bathroom and it's most likely someone else's flush.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe not.

For example, there may not be paper towels, just toilet paper and no bin. You wash your hands, dry them with toilet paper and then flush that down together with the rest.

Of course, I know what you said is what people think so my route is: Do the business -> Wash hands -> Dry with TP -> Flush the TP together with the rest -> Wait hand-washing equivalent amount of time -> Exit.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

Why not dry your hands on your clothes and not waste the tp?

[–] recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeah it is a bit like those scenes! As if you just reminded me of that anime lol.

Hideyoshi, and the way there were treated, was far from the most tasteful portrayal of a gender non conforming character but helped my egg to crack for sure!
