- 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.

Who's gonna stop it?
The bears digestive track. I went to Alaska for a week a while back and we actually learned about how the local bears eat. Eventually a bear's canines (or whatever teeth they use for meat tearing) will wear down to stubs making it impossible for them to eat meat. When this happens they will start to exclusively eat plant matter. Unfortunately this is also what ends up killing them. A young bear typically eats plant matter to slow down their digestive track for the winter. But in the case of an older bear they eat so much that their digestion literally backs up until it kills them
I thought this was c/dadjokes too
Me too!
This is world news but when I steal a bag of sour patch kids it's just a violation of my parole or w/e
"world news"
Nothing but this bear theft happened today. It was the only thing of note in the entire world.
Didn't some TV station one broadcast that fuck all happened that day, anywhere?
Cannibalism
Cute story until you realize the bear will be euthanized
Haribo has a posse
Didn't "euthanasia" apply to "individuals getting help to fulfill their death wish"? I don't think the bear wants to die, if anything it will get murdered, as in "premeditated taking of a life, against the target's wishes".
How do you know the bear's wishes? Did you ask him?
Suicide by ~~cop~~ vet, you say? That bear needs counseling!
You don't take on a pack of wild gummy bears and come out alive. That bear had a death wish, sure as shootin.
No?
put (a living being, especially a dog or cat) to death humanely.
"Humanely" implies a reason that isn't just because it behaved not how you wanted it. That's called "sacrificing" or at best "killing", like when you want to eat steak but the cow insists on breathing.
I don't want the bear to die. But that doesn't change that the word doesn't imply consent.
The word literally means "good death", meaning for a good reason. Consent is one such reason, terminal illness is another, stealing gummy bears... is not.
Amazing
A gas station bar?
Free shooter with 10 gal fill up?
Bear probably had mad munchies. Don't judge lol
