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.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

why cant we get these 2 'billionaires' into a shitty submersible protected only by ego?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And controlled by a neuralink in Trump

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Let’s not take any chances. Hook it up to a potato.

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m thinking that would decrease the chance of problems.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

An experiment is the only way to be sure.

Perhaps we should hook it to a man, woman, person, camera, or TV.

You mean the one who said that he’d ban electric cars?

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

Yeah, this one.

[–] BuckenBerry@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Remember that time Trump bragged who Elon Musk would be willing to suck his dick?

That was probably the truest thing he ever said.

[–] zik@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Remember the time - two days ago - when Trump said he was going to ban all electric cars? I wonder how Elon feels about that.

[–] brognak@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

Iirc he said he planned to ban imported electric cars, so Musk is free to gobble that tiny orange mushroom shaped dick. Need to go do a heroic dose of mushrooms and delete those neural connections now.

[–] QuincyPeck@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

Remember the shit show that was DeSantis’ announcement on Twitter? I hope this event happens because you know it will be slap-dash and insane.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (3 children)

They mean a presidential candidates town hall.

While no dates or locations have been set, the current plan has X hosting a town hall with Donald Trump and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

President Joe Biden's campaign has reportedly turned down the offer, according to the Wall Street Journal.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Musk simping hard trying to make Xitter more than just his failing ego-stroking right-wing echo chamber.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Trump and Kennedy having a crazy-off? Sign me up!

[–] thesecretbarn@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Lmao can't wait

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

Two slime balls holding hands. I look forward to the day I never have to hear about them again.

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Guys, X is unbiased free speech now. Guys, no, I promise. - Elon

[–] Cosmos7349@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

No way the tech can fail worse than the DeSantis one. Right??? Riiiiiiight???? 🙏🙏🙏

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wonder which will stab the other in the back first?

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago

Probably neither...Elon wouldn't be able to drive one through that protective layer of fat and Depends and T****s hands are too small to hold a suitable knife.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What are the odds on Musk calling Trump out on his electric vehicle ban?

[–] ulkesh@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Ah, so more of the tiny-dick sucking. Yeah I’ll pass.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago

Lonnie is so cool. Gosh, I hope I can grow up to be just like him. Better ask my parents to retcon my birth so that they control a gem mine when I’m born. Then everyone will know what a super genius I am. I can’t wait.

Fuck Lonnie.
