Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Any Americans here give a shit about embryos?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sort of?

There should be extensive protections in place. But mostly so the people who’re relying on them don’t get blind sided by something.

Also, embryos aren’t people. So the owners get to destroy them.

Also, also, there should be safe guards for embryos donated to research, so that they aren’t allowed to become viable (I’m thinking of that Chinese guy who gmo’d some kids in incredibly risky “research”.)

I agree with those terms.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I give a shit about the embryo (or embryos) that the person carrying wants to develop into a child, yes.

The rest, no.

No. It's a lump of cells. Who cares.

Chicken embryos are good protein. Human embryos I don't give a shit about.

Do you think they make a good omelette?

[–] tetrachromacy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They ain't big enough to scramble unless you're a gnat.

[–] cynthorpe@discuss.online 2 points 1 month ago

So better on a cracker?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like mine on a fried placenta sandwich with a little oregano.

[–] cynthorpe@discuss.online 2 points 1 month ago

Better than veal.

And yet the right wishes to block this for everyone. Including my close friend who told me yesterday that they’re getting this treatment. So much for loving children and families. Fuck these people.
