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.
-
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.

Thats basically daily life in Xi'an China.
Xi'an (Western Peace), the thousand year old city located in Western China is also known as Chang'an (Long/Eternal/Enduring, (you get the idea) Peace) was the captial of Han Dynasty (206 BC–9AD), Tang Dynasty (618AD–907AD) and many other smaller Kingdoms throughout Chinese history. In modern times, it is quite well known that any residential, commerical, or even transit development has a high chance of digging up some ancient grave, most notebly royal tombs.
It is said that in Xi'an, when you travel through the underground subway, it is very likely that ancient ghosts would stare at you for disturbing their long sleep.
When I was much younger I was talking to someone about ghosts if they were real and he pointed out what you were saying. If ghosts were real there should be places that are swarming with them given the sheer number of people clustered in some of these ancient cities for so long.
Definitely, the number of people have died thoughout history drastically outweight the number of living people today. If ghosts exists, Earth would be very crowded indeed (not to mention all those animals and ... dinosaurs).
Yepp, 117 billion estimated total humans born ever and about 8 billion alive today.
That's still like 6% of people ever are alive right now which is pretty amazing.
In a sense, life is only known to be 94% fatal.
