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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
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.

Mohammed was subjected to simulated drowning, or "waterboarding", 183 times while held in secret CIA prisons following his arrest in 2003. Other so-called "advanced interrogation techniques" included sleep deprivation and forced nudity.
Sounds totally legit and he should definitely be executed on that information despite the guilty plea he signed after 20 years of being tortured.
If the waterboarding worked why would they need to do it 183 times?
Ask Ron DeSantis, he might now.
He was too busy trying to stop people from seeing his massive hard-on to pay attention to what Mohammed ever said.
So what’s the deal with the bright orange beard? That m’s kind of out nowhere
I thought the same. I know it is a serious subject but he looks like a dwarf.
He's one of the lesser known Snow White dwarfs. Explody.
In Saudi, some of our elders do that. They call it Henna (women also use it to draw on themselves in celebrations, just like tattoos). Muhammed used to do it; therefore it is a Sunnah.
When I lived in Qatar I was told it was against (some interpretations of) the Muslim faith to dye your hair it’s natural color because it was a sign of vanity so when men went grey they would typically dye their beards and sometimes hair orange.
I never verified this and I’m not an expert but it’s what I was told so take this with a ChatGPT size grain of salt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Most interpretations forbid dying it black specifically. It's recommended that white hair be dyed with henna, which is orange.
Like the ladies that can’t show their hair in public so they buy a wig, made of some other woman’s hair, to wear over their own hair.
I don't think Muslims do that, but some Orthodox Jews do. And yes, it's very silly, as are most of the loopholes they use around the over 600 Biblical laws they feel they must follow.
"Follow." Like that wire around Manhattan so the whole place counts as home.
That was pretty much my point. Loopholes.
I respect that kind of rule lawyering.
Rule lawyering doesn't really take you that far regarding this issue because wigs are explicitly forbidden and hair extensions that try to imitate actual hair are forbidden, and the people using them are cursed. The hair extension rule, according to most interpretations applies to all kinds of materials that are attached to the hair and look like it, so maybe you can just not attach it to your hair directly, but I can't see how that might help.
Cursed, but sexy. Worth it?
