    Yeah, I wish we had a list of stuff that does the most harm to people so we could address those problems from the top down.

          lol I’m sorry I just couldn’t resist.

          I was tempted to go for

          The tooth has spoken the truth.

          or even

          The tooth has spoken the twooth

            That was great. I got a really good laugh out of it.

      I mean, dying seems to do a lot of harm, we should work on that first

        Good point. What’re the leading causes of death?

          Dying, for one. I always tell people, ‘just don’t die’, but nobody listens to me…

            That sounds like a disturbing correlation centered around you.

          Cars, heart disease, and guns in the USA. If I recall correctly.

            Maybe we should work on mitigating those risks first, then.

      Is this a secondary account for Duke Atreides or Dr Yueh?

        Yes Leto I’ve betrayed and effectively killed you, but the tooth! Be sure not to brush with hydroxyapatite and stick to melange based paste.

          I don’t get the impression that Vladimir Harkonnen was a good enough host to supply Leto with toiletries during his brief stay.

        Actually, this is Shaddam Corrino IV. I’m still pretty bitter about the events on Arrakis, but I’m effectively backed into a corner in exhile. I don’t have many ways to get back at Paul Atreides, so I’ve taken to spreading petty, hurtful references online. There’s not much else to do here on Salusa Secundus aside from going on maneuvers with my sardaukar.

          That’s a pretty healthy outlook. A little bit more therapy and you might even stop wanting revenge.

            Hmm. I’ll consider it, but I’ll probably just smuggle a bunch of Sardaukar to Arrakis disguised as Guild member to try for an assassination.

A community for discussing events around the World

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.
