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.

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.

Would this be before or after Israel is able to control the direction the wind blows?

Didn’t you get those powers at your bar mitzvah? It’s supposed to be right after we get the codes for the space lasers.

I didn’t get a bar mitzvah, personally, so I’m a shitty Jew who doesn’t have those powers.

I sort of got a bar mitzvah, but the asshole Israeli who was supposed to teach me Hebrew sucked at it and I never learned. So I read my passage with a crib sheet that told me how to pronounce everything. My cousin, who was the rabbi officiating, took me aside and said, "they may not know what you're doing out there today, but GOD KNOWS!" My dad and I had a good laugh about that for years.

I only did the whole thing for my grandparents' sake.

Ignoring... just everything so very very wrong with this statement by Trump's favorite sock-puppet... how does this even make sense as a plan? I'm pretty sure this would be the first case of one-sided nuclear mutually-assured destruction.

It's like setting off a fertilizer bomb in your nextdoor neighbor's house because you hate them and want to burn their house down: you don't get to be surprised when your house catches on fire too.

I've been saying we should nuke South Carolina for years.

Her congrats Lindsey, you figured out the path to peace that I thought was a good idea (briefly) when I was a stupid teenager.

Hint: the idea of stupid and you're stupid.
