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.

me neither. can USA news put the state if they're not going to say which country it's in
This story is from Australia, Silly.
ok
wut?
Basically she took evidence and used it to create an 'oddity' to sell it as such. It's a fairly thriving industry (oddities).
I have sold bones that I found while hiking. One was a beautiful complete kangaroo skull. Sold it for $50.
That headline is some brand new sentence material.
"It’s astounding that she didn’t understand [that] taking two toes that had been vomited up by one or two dogs from a deceased person and sell[ing] them on the internet was the wrong thing to do. I’m still struggling to understand – it’s astonishing, her behaviour.”
Aaaaaannnnd that's enough internet for me tonight! Goodnight everybody!
I mean, it is one of those things where something's so fucked up nobody may have thought to ban it yet.
Excuse me?!
Why is such a group allowed on Facebook?
Bone buddies? Just sounds like a casual sex group, who would have thought it was about actual bones
It's an honest mixup
We were all a little embarrassed that day.
And oddly enough, "Unscrupulously Sourced Remains" is a casual sex group! /s
Taxidermy is far from illegal. It's not "Human Bone Buddies Australia", it's just "Bone Buddies Australia" and I'd expect anything from horse hooves to kangaroo skulls and ballsacks and whatnot. I forgot what the regulations are for human parts though, I think they have changed over the past decade or so but I've studied in at least two places that had real human remains as well as a vast collection of animal remains.
What she did was very, very stupid though.
Reddit probably closed down their existing community.
other oddities including [...] her children’s teeth.
You do not want to know what germans do with their teeth.
Well, I do now.
The tooth fairy is not as common, we mostly just collect our old milk teeth in little wooden jars. So we have multiple jars filled with teeth somewhere, from multiple generations.
Could be useful if you have a spray can that has lost its rattle.
Or if you you need shrapnel for a field-expedient grenade during the bonewars
Or if you need an implant just get one from great grandpa
And the Germans kept shoes, not toes.
How else are you supposed to make a sourtoe cocktail at home?
Nothing in the world could get me to click on that link
You're sitting in a bar in Alaska ...
