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:

Disinformation, 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.



Rule 12- Linking directly to a video as a source is not acceptable.

Video only posts are responsible for an outsized portion of rules violations. Your post must contain text and meet the requirements of the previous rules.



Rule 13- If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

I get my meat the way god intended, from the side of the interstate. Chicken of the pavement. Highway hamburger. Fauna ala Ford. Jeep jerky. The other black meat.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 3 points 37 minutes ago

Stop buying meat at all. Let the industry collapse. It’s probably the only way the US meat industry will adopt better standards

[–] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 1 points 28 minutes ago

Hello fellow americans! You guys doing OK over there? Things are pretty good here in Spain, language issues my biggest obsticle. But hey, you let me know when we americans are winning ok? Are we winning yet?

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

No. Canada still has proper rules and regulations in place...

[–] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 36 minutes ago

Republicans actively endanger your life for personal gain. Its insane.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 2 hours ago

trump desperately trying to get argentinian beef to bypass meat inspections, which most other countries have banned already.

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 20 points 6 hours ago

See? I told you so, bro. Industry can regulate itself just fine.

I don't know why you're laughing.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

GOP finding out the hard way why rules exist.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 53 minutes ago

Oh, they know. Which is exactly why they want to get rid of the rules that "prevent" (really just put in the absolute bare minimum of standards) companies from actively harming their customers and employees (too badly) to make a quick buck.

[–] Ozymati@lemmy.nz 15 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They're just gonna make it illegal to publish about food safety and call it a day

Until dinner time, at least.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

167,000 pounds? Is that Joe's backyard barbeque? He does cook up a lot of burgers...

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 15 points 7 hours ago (17 children)

Sounds like a great time to go vegan. 🖖

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 23 minutes ago* (last edited 21 minutes ago)

or vegetarian. or stick to chicken. as per article in what it was recalling.

[–] adjectivenoun@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah 'cause we know all the fresh veggie product from such brands as Taylor Farms is perfectly safe...

(jk going vegetarian or vegan is an admirable choice even if you do it noncommittally by reducing your animal protein consumption. Every 1 gram of animal protein required ~9g of feed depending on the animal.)

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 1 points 37 minutes ago

You... don't... need to buy those manufactured food products, either, you realize? Chickpeas and rice, mushrooms, tofu, etc. can all lend you to making your own tasty recipes.

[–] Tiral@lemmy.zip 7 points 7 hours ago (7 children)

How long until I get my Vegan powers?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

It’s milk n’ eeeeeegs, bitch!

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net -2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It's a passive, you just statistically live longer and feel better.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 14 minutes ago

there is education that goes along with it to actually manage nutrients/macros than just 'go vegan' and leave it at that

beans are not a protein that every body can digest

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 hours ago

They start the first time you can mention you are vegan in a conversation that isn't about food or animal products.

I use arch btw.

[–] bertlewirth@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

well, I'm a decade in, and still no powers D:

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You have to be more righteous about it

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 20 minutes ago

i think that is the powers of a vegan. as far as ive ever experienced with them.

Officially inspected meat from the US is not good enough for export into the EU. How much worse could uninspected meat be?

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

We had some scares in the past. We learned from our mistakes. The EU actually does a lot of shit right.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Whatever man I want to die anyway.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

I wonder how much legit suicidal ideation has gone up under trump? Its probably gone up globally too. Everyone I know is always tired and hopeless about the future. Even kids are down.
