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.

So what sodas CAN I drink?
Soda is bad for you. Have some tea or water.
How is no-sugar soda bad for me?
A lot of the artificial sweetners have their own issues.
Like what?
Carcinogenic, for one.
What carcinogens, in what sweeteners?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=Chcc_Ci36Vw
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Specifically what?
No.
Exactly.
Contrary to poplular belief, sugar and fat are not the only unhealthy food components used, and the rest of what they put in sodas isn’t pretty.
Contrary to popular believe most of the fat is not bad, and there are healthy fats that are important to eat for things like heart health.
There are no good sugars or simple carbs at all. We can tolerate them in small amounts, and use for energy, but modern diet contains way to much of them. Healthy serial is an oxymoron.
Like what?
There is some evidence that artificial sweeteners increase insulin resistance.
There’s a study that says everything is bad for you. Even too much water will kill you. My blood sugar is fine. I’m not obese, and I don’t have diabetes.
Everything is fine for you also. It's just how much and for how long. Vast majority of smokers don't have symptoms of lung cancer right at this moment, but that is not proof of safety of cigarettes.
I’m old enough to see the long term effects of my decisions.
yet ;)
At what age should I expect to see the results… and then I’ll tell you my age.
