You Should Know
YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Unless you have a gas chromatography device embedded in everyone's waste sewage pipe how would that work? You'd only ever know that some people in a neighborhood are doing drugs, you wouldn't know who or how much and you wouldn't know who sold it only who consumed it.
Also a less than one hour old account posting rage bait is suspect as hell.
IMO this administration values psychological impact well over function.
Just making the claim probably accomplishes their goal. Whatever ridiculous half measure they think of to "follow through" is an afterthought
Correct. They know they don't have the means, manpower, or will power to completely subjugate everyone, especially when only %30 of the population (max) actually agrees with what they are doing.
They are hoping that people will 'self police' and comply with whatever bullshit they come up with.
If everyone is breaking some law, everyone is insecure.
This rings more true to me than trying to make people self police. Just make them feel guilty, weak, targeted.
Rings even more true that they're just pandering to their base
Detection is easy, you just have RFK Jr go around doing taste tests of the sewage for drugs
Fuck dude that made me laugh in the break room at work lol. Lightened up my day a bit too thank you.
You're welcome for my service
Yeah but you can target enforcement efforts to entire communities with lots of drugs in their wastewater, offer federal grants / money to police departments to hire special officers for this task (I bet a religious school trains this special kind of officer). Many insidious ways to weaponize our sewage.
fucked up.
Get white van.
Go to rich neighborhood.
Wear hard hat and hi-vis vest, make fake name badge.
Tell them you're from the toilet company and doing a toilet inspection. Will only be a moment, any toilet will do.
Flush a handful of cold pills and a poppy seed muffin.
Repeat.
Rich neighborhood has meth problem.
As if they'd actually bother checking the rich neighborhoods, those aren't the people they want to go after
Hell, just find an accessible sewer cleanout and use that. No need to trick your way into a house.
As if they don't already have drug problems...
It’s the same way that we monitor infection rates , it’s not individual it’s per region.
Region is far too broad for it. They can narrow it down to districts within cities. Your sentiment is still valid, that there's a lot of people there so they can't target individuals, or even streets. But they can use that data for increasing police presence. Any data given to fascists is dangerous.
I think it would be to narrow down which communities on which to focus more enforcement, but you're 100% about OP feeling like a ragebait bot. What kind of sn is "solutions"?
