I'm really loving the high-quality, modern journalism technique of checks notes basing an article entirely on what random people have said on social media.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
I'm just surprised they went with 'amused by' and not 'SLAMMED,' which is usually what articles use when they want to repeat what people on the internet who are critical of something say.
When ever I read slammed I think of wrasslin (wrestling for you fancy people). The thought of Biden, Trump, or any politician comming off the top rope makes politics much more entertaining.
Honestly I'd be down for one of the debates to be replaced by a big wresting match. VP candidates can tag in. Everyone gets silly outfits. Their one liners all have to do with policy. It would probably get a much bigger turnout than traditional debates lmao
Edited to add: it would probably better reflect current american politics too. Two actors play fighting in a gimmicky show. Sadly tho this match would be able to effect your daily life

I wouldn’t care if it looked like a giant cock and balls if I had a dedicated high-speed-rail station in my city. It also looks like it has serious capacity with three separate approaching rail corridors.
Yep, it's also highly absorbent
😂

yo mama so fat
At least it's white and not red like the plum blossoms are.
There's a statue in the park where a bunch of freaky kids like I was in high school hung out in the town where I grew up which everyone calls 'the tampon,' although it really should be called 'the sanitary pad.' But the name stuck.
Ugh commie blocks.
Except in Indiana. That was a hotel, then a university office building. It is no longer there.
Where is this, when my sister was in college I remember visiting and there was one just like this, next to a sub sandwich shop
Maybe the building WAS meant to be a plum blossom. Maybe the architects are all dudes who never saw a feminine product in their life or had to do the emergency pad run for a woman they love.
But whoever designed these roof vents knew EXACTLY what they were doing.
There is NO plum blossom anywhere in nature that has that specific squared geometric pattern, or anything like it.
But there are quite a number of sanitary pads that do.
Maybe the roof was designed by the same person who did that memorable cover art for The Little Mermaid DVD back in the day, lol.
Atlanta has Megatron's Butthole, so I'm fine with this station.
How you can tell no women were involved in the project.
Or there were, and they thought it was hilarious
Plum blossoms can be pink or even purple, so maybe don't paint the building white?
They can also be white though
They can be whatever color they want to as long as they believe in themselves*!
*And have access to dye as well as the ability to apply it.
It does resemble a pad from this photo.
