Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Soft and squishy. Like bone.

Dumbasses shoulda just removed a rib from one of them to indicate it as a male and made by intelligent design and not evolution.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Ah but you forgot they're dumbasses.

[–] festnt 1 points 24 minutes ago

ribs grow back! (no they dont)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Don't be fooled by those big ol' socialist bone titties.

[–] [email protected] 95 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Give them both bone dicks.

Cases of human penis ossification following trauma have been reported, and one case was reported of a congenital os penis surgically removed from a 5-year-old boy, who also had other developmental abnormalities, including a cleft scrotum.

new Linux distro just dropped

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

That's why we can't have nice things.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

is that like a cleft palate? could he breathe through his ass?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Obvious fiction. No boner.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Could have just given her silicone implants...

[–] Tar_alcaran 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Can anyone with actual knowledge confirm if that's a pelvis capable of squeezing out babies? Or did they pay boobs on a male skeleton?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Skeletons can't be infallibly sexed because sexual characteristics aren't binary, including the shape of the skeleton. They are usually gendered using multiple clues

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Incorrect.

I've sexed so many skeletons over the years and it's never felt wrong before. 😏

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Can confirm. I watched.

[–] Tar_alcaran 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just sort of expected all demonstration skeletons to be super typically male, because some male with a tophat as big as his sexism came up with it in the 1800s. Generally, my pessimistic assumptions about this end up true.

But yeah, I realize in my pessimism I overshot into the wrong direction.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Dang you just unlocked a confusing memory.

My secondary school had a demonstration skeleton, but it was the skeleton of a real person who donated their body to science.
The teachers had given them a male name, despite the skeleton being female. Apparently kids just expected skeletons to be male for some reason, and explaining the difference every time was annoying to teachers.

I didn't have the brain capacity to realize that it might have been kinda messed up towards the real person that skeleton belonged to, but now that I think back on it... yeah, there's problems with that.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

My completely amateur reading of it is that they're both male, but I'm no expert.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

lol there’s no nipples, that’s an ad for a bra.

“Our line of bras are so comfortable and durable that you’ll still be getting all the support you need with them even in the afterlife!”

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why are the skellyboobs connected to the ribcage then.

If I were advertising a bra I'd want the bra to be in the ad.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

The skellyboob bone is connected to the rib bone

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

It’s a strapless bra with the ribcage supporting the boobies. Otherwise you’d have a bone bra clacking against the ribcage, and we can’t have that.

As someone who likes to see the good in the world, I'd say: "checkmate, transphobes, who claim that archaeologists won't be able to identify my gender via skeleton".

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago

Transphobes: This is totally new, people made it up a few years ago.

Also transphobes: If ancient people were like this there's no way we could tell.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

isnt it the transphobes who say that archeologists will (incorrectly) assume your gender based on your skeleton?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

The bone-boobs came from a gender affirming surgery.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I assumed that the bone-boobs were included in gender-affirming surgery.

Sorry, if my joke wasn't as thought through as it should have been. Hadn't had lunch back then. 😅

[–] TriflingToad 2 points 1 day ago

There was actually a thing where out of like 27 skeletons randomly selected for a study, only TWO were confirmed to be female & male respectively. There were like 10 total that were thought to be male & female but the other ~15 they had no idea!

With today's administration, they are probably calling the Phrenology experts now to double check.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

It’s just really cold outside, ok?

[–] Grass 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

could be bone moobs

edit: couldn't stop thinking about anatomically incorrect skeletons and now I kinda want to make one with a beer belly, and have it in a lawn chair with beer bottles and maga shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Silicone mineralizes easily... on geological timescales.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Kind of a great ad:

This bra will survive a nuclear blast and outlive you and your loved ones!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

But it's not a bra, it's part of the skeleton.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

naw those are like - two white hats on there

[–] tastetheplague 4 points 1 day ago

Nice work, bone daddy.
