Shitposting about geopolitics, diplomacy, and current events for shits and giggles

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain bad diplomacy takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong elsewhere.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about international diplomacy. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or talk about military tactics or equipment. There are other places for that.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Please leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NonCredibleDiplomacy exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

How about the canopy walkway in a forest that was clearcut while they were building it?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is somehow even more hilarious

[–] WeeneyTodd@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think you misspelled sad

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Oh it is sad while at the same time hilariously absurd

Me when I play Cities Skylines

Came here to make this joke.

That is a really nice roundabout though

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

10/10 I would just keep going round and around.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

And wear-and-tear is pretty low!

[–] schnokobaer@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

No cycle path, they can scrap and rebuild that right away!

Reminds me of Omsk Metro, which only has one station.

Dafuq? Why does this even exist?

[–] Luffy879@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

For the same reason there's an E-charging station in Borsódnádasd. (Literal ass of the world, where every building is falling apart and the average population is 90 years of age)

Corruption and embezzlement of EU funds.

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Haha wow I heard about this but didn't realize it was that bad

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

Time to zone it! Then buildings will magically pop up.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 9 points 1 month ago

When one of your political grift buddies owns a business that builds roundabouts...

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Roundabout

For sale, never used.

[–] Amro@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago

Don't worry. They're going to be there for a long, long time. Who is going to demolish them? There are no roads to get there...
