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.

I hereby give them permission.
Well, I mean after the US annexed Hawaii by overthrowing their king and writing a special "it's OK when we do it" law, doesn't that mean they can do whatever they want?
He's wearing a hat on a hat.
He’s probably off his tits.
Should ask Texas residents living next to Starbase how that's working out for them. I can sum it up, it's not. You get what you voted for!
Hawaii didn't vote for this.
The unfortunate fallout of 75 million fucking idiots' decision. I hope Hawaii finds a way to slap that rocket back to Texas.
That's no surprise, the only thing Trump considers sacred is Trump.
A few days ago I was watching stars with a friend and every few minutes we would see satellite after satellite. Yeah that was distracting.
That's mostly musk too: https://phys.org/news/2025-07-satellite-constellations-bright-threaten-astronomy.html
Same here, I would rarely see a satellite and mostly only during dusk. Two nights ago I was participating in a star gazing activity as par of a birthday party and it's busy up there now
Yeah right?? It's so crazy how many satellites there are nowadays.
We used to play with my friends when we were younger to spot them. Now it's harder not to see one.
And the sad part is it's going to get much worse probably.
Their future e-waste is now part of the view, just gotta accept it and hope the billboards up there aren't developed in our lifetime.
Not much remains of them upon reentry. At least nothing that can be called e-waste.

The religious significance of an uninhabited island seems like a nothingburger compared to this:
Along with allowing Musk to rain schrapnel down near Mokumanamana, the FAA also granted SpaceX the ability to do so around Hawaii's eight main islands — which are populated with American citizens
lol why did they emphasize that they are American citizens? So if these were non-Americans it would be fine I guess.
You joke, but this is how a lot of people actually think. It's fucking gross.
They mention that because people in the US are stupid enough to not understand that residents of Puerto Rico, Guam, Hawaii, and some other places are US citizens.

Ah, but those Americans are mostly Democrats so they aren't really Americans and are gonna lose their citizenship and be deported soon anyway. /S
Better not mess with sacred stuff in Hawaii. You could wake up with a tarantula crawling on your chest.
There do not appear to be large spiders in Hawaii.
We have black widows. But the real curse a Hawaii resident would send to someone is the giant centipede. They're mean and painful. Both of those species are introduced though.

tramping religious rights of locals is fine, but don't you dare to touch christianity. Christian churches get tax exemptions etc. I'm an atheist but this is a glaring discriminatiin. You either disregard all religions or tiptoe around all of them there's nothing in between
it's time to accept that America is a Christian nation. it shouldn't be, but we're already getting Christian sharia laws, like women should be forced to give birth even if they die, or if the fetus is non viable.
there will be more sharia coming soon.
we should call those laws like that.
wait who doesn't think that america is a Christian nation
Christianity is literally intertwined with like every visible level of the american government
Americans who read the constitution.
That was done in the 50's by Republicans. Democrats lack the guts to fight back against it.
It shouldn't, it's meant to be a secular democracy.
However, it is clearly a Christian theocratic state.

He's a defiler. POS Star links are everywhere in the sky polluting the sky with streaks and dots for anyone interested in astronomy.
He's a defiler.
That’s why you can’t let Zerg get to late game. Guessing he’s going defiler/hydra/lurker? Sounds like we need firebats so we can still do damage under dark swarm. He might counter with scourge/guardians so watch for a greater spire for a good attack timing.
The guy carrying tanks of napalm smoking a cigarette always gets to me 😁
Need a light?
Destroying and damaging a religion's sacred holy areas is not a really violation of the religious rights. However telling Catholic priests they should tell on pedophiles now that that's violating religious rights.
