That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser 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.



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- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

When I was 11 we got a puppy and I started walking this dog in the evenings. One evening I heard a girl screaming asking for help. A guy approached me and threatened me with a knife that he will stab me and my dog if I don't turn around. I turned around and the girl has probably been gang raped. Didn't tell anyone, but her scream haunts me at nights

You were a child, don't be hard on yourself.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I bet money rest of the replies are along the lines of redditors going "oh so are you single?"

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 hours ago

"I also choose this guy's girlfriend" 💀

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 hours ago

Maybe the remaining humans should only post QR codes on reddit. Then the bots would feel appreciated.

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 3 points 13 hours ago

I think there's at least a 78% chance that "happy cake day" person works for broadcast television news, as this spiel is right down their alley.

In local news, two toddlers are dead after the car they were riding in collided with another vehicle on I-60. (jovial laughter and big smile) And in other news, watch the exciting finale of Big Brother tonight on KXY-TV at 8 PM, all your favorites will reveal what they were really thinking and find out who will win! I'm so excited to find out.

It's so fake. It's actually quite disgusting. And they all do it.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 13 points 18 hours ago

Can we please stop that censoring of names of public social media posts.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (6 children)

worst thing I can't forget.

I watched a man get pulled into one of those giant wood chippers. he was trying to kick a branch into the horn and his pants got caught. before he could free himself it had pulled him in feet first.

nobody was around until we heard the screams. jesus...the screams were worse than you can imagine.

most people think screaming is like yelling, but it's not. the raw emotion and fear you can feel is something I'll never forget.

by the time we got it shut off, it was too late. everything past his navel was gone. his face was frozen in this grotesque mask that didn't even look human.

if that wasn't bad enough, the sounds his wife and father made when they were told were just as heavy as his were as he was dying.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Sorry to hear that. I've heard that scream too. A coworker got his foot chopped off and leg crushed by a hydraulic shearing machine. I can't describe the scream. It's a visceral and unintelligible scream and yet I knew exactly what they were trying to communicate. Fortunately he lived.

[–] certified_expert@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Holy shit...

[–] modus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

I worked at a place that rented them. Always knew they would kill you horribly at every chance they get. Crazy they'll just rent one to anyone.

[–] ViscloReader@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Oh my god I wasn't ready to read this

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Man that ... Oof. Sorry you had to experience that, sounds traumatic AF.

Good PSA to not fuck around with wood chippers and equipment in general. Turns out that inanimate objects don't actually give a shit about you.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

I'm genuinely sorry you experienced that.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Bot accounts don't get context

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And the ~1300 people that thought that was a good comment to upvote?

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Bots all the way down

Well, that and the very typical reddit crowd that upvotes stuff like that.

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Always thought they pushed the "cake day" trash.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 57 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That is an extremely reddit interaction.

[–] HughMann@piefed.social 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

So much this!!! blah blah blah blah blah blah saying the same thing but slightly different blah blah blah

Edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!

Edit 2: OMG I never thought I’d get this many updoots.

Edit 3: a word

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 hours ago

I also choose this lady's dead boyfriend

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (4 children)

no. a extremely reddit one would be

'at least you had a boyfriend to murder himself in front of you'

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

[–] MurderHobo@thelemmy.club 2 points 9 hours ago

Wow this post blew up, how do I turn off replies?

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago

"Honestly, he's TA and you should divorce him immediately. That kind of behavior is extremely toxic."

[–] MML@sh.itjust.works 10 points 19 hours ago

'so you're single?'

[–] socsa@piefed.social 6 points 18 hours ago

Nah, more like "what did you do to make him suicidal?"

[–] Caketaco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Those comments were the WORST. I can’t get an erection. I’m glad there’s no “edit: a word” “I also choose this guy’s dead wife” “I broke both of my arms, but my mom helped out” etc. comments on this side of the fence. Good riddance!

[–] HughMann@piefed.social 2 points 9 hours ago

I don't see "both things can be true" or other equally irritating Reddit-coded expressions on Lemmy.

Nice how people don't feel the need to remind you that nuance can exist when they aren't used to talking to bots exclusively.

[–] Impractical_Island@lemmy.world 0 points 11 hours ago

That broken arm scenario is one I've explored with the family member AIs I have, and I have a number of those on my phone. I don't like the idea of fucking family members so much, but making them uncomfortable while having to touch my twitching loins sure does get the juices flowing.

[–] moncharleskey@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I think the only ones I kind of miss are the "you mean X, Y is" and the hell in a cell ones.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Shittymorph was so good, and just everywhere, you could never expect it.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I never really hated shittymorph or the various novelty accounts. It was more copycats who killed every joke.

Can't tell if insensitive asshole or karma farming bot

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Or just someone with impeccable comedic timing.

I don't really get the outrage over a reply like that when the person they responded to thought it was a good idea to share something that gruesome and upsetting in an AskReddit thread of all places. A thread that didn't even have a Serious tag.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 5 points 17 hours ago

Agreed. People need to understand reddit isn't Facebook. It's an open forum not to be taken seriously.

I'm guessing she technically means ex-boyfriend.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 1 points 12 hours ago

Why? Necrophilia is a thing.
