Just want to call out this post for being based as hell by giving blind readers a description of the image. Something we should all aspire to.
Honestly, this exposé/fact check is really good. I'm consistently surprised at the quality of Sentient.
Posting articles based on the contents of their headlines rather than the quality of their content or the reliability of the source seems irresponsible.
Oh, for sure. Most of these ones in the image seem like they should be taken out by an employee of whatever restaurant or gas station they're at, placed into a dumpster, and then taken away. I forgot to even address the fact that sanitation workers have fuck-all to do with the pictured garbage; good call.
"A taste of my own medicine?" Let me play these stochastic terrorists a sad song on the world's smallest violin.
Why are you posting from Newsweek if you agree that it's a rag? Your post directly before this one was Reuters. Your actions don't align with what you're saying here.
Every common plant-based milk is considerably better for the environment in water usage, emissions, and land usage than dairy milk. Almond milk is easily the worst plant-based milk for water usage, and it still uses just over half the water dairy milk does and absolutely destroys dairy milk in terms of emissions and land usage.

Don't garbage men have surprisingly handsome pay? Or is that just an urban legend I've fallen for?
You wouldn't make it an extended "FUUUUCK" by Samuel L. Jackson while he's being electrocuted?
Honestly fucking hilarious. Good for you, Roy. Godspeed.
Newsweek has been a rag for over a decade now.
PV Magazine is more or less an outlet for press releases by companies trying to innovate (often in air quotes) with photovoltaics. I'm honestly not even sure why it's allowed here; it's completely uncritical. May as well cite a press release on the manufacturer's website at that point instead of laundering it through a magazine.
Slime Rancher for $2 is 100% worth it! It's one of those games where gameplay becomes kind of meandering once you've seen the sights and built the things, but it's a very unique experience.
Looking forward to the Wakaliwood action movie about getting the money back.
Here's hoping someone other than these negligent monkey torturers can find them and get them placed into a sanctuary.
Oh, 100% true. The logic behind the God of the Bible doing this to forgive our sins is asinine. Some good moral stories from the Gospels (some bad), but the story itself is the product of its time and place, not anything divine. I only didn't insist that in the title because it wasn't the focus of the thought.

!academiagonewild@lemmy.world So far only one post, but I'm hoping to see more from a wide variety of different disciplines.
Disorderly male crabs have a bass battle over a female, start a fight with each other, and end up injuring the female
Transcript: "The zip and bass sounds were only produced by a competing male against a mating pair or when there was male competition for a receptive (recently moulted) female (Fig. 8). Specifically, competing male crabs would alternate between producing zip trains and bass trains when exposed to a receptive female. The bass train followed after a zip train 82% of the time. In five out of the seven mating trials, males engaged in fights with other male crabs in the tank, and in two of these trials, females were also injured."

Canada Says ‘Yes’ to Right to Repair–Here’s How It Affects You
As of last week, Canada has become the first country to pass federal laws supporting the "right to repair," giving Canadians the legal ability to fix their own devices, from ice cream machines and tractors to game consoles. Bills C-244 and C-294 were given Royal Ascent, which now let Canadians bypas...

Vote here on whether non-recent articles should be allowed in LeopardsAteMyFace
EDIT: Sorry, I meant to edit this post yesterday when the vote was in, but 'Ban' won. I forgot the numbers from 22:00 UTC, but the current vote (by subtracting downvotes from upvotes) is 51–40, which is pretty close to what it was yesterday. So it's not a total blowout, but it does show that most people want these types of posts banned. Thus, they will be banned for at minimum two months, and a reevaluation can (not necessarily will) be initiated on 20 January. A subsequent vote will be held to determine if we want to have Throwback Tuesdays (suggested in a DM) and/or if we want to allow "Historical" leopards (older than e.g. 15 years) while disallowing "Outdated" ones (older than 3 months and younger than e.g. 15 years).
[PLEASE READ IN FULL BEFORE VOTING]
With Donald Trump's recent reascent to the US presidency, there are likely to be a bunch of stories posted here from his first term, especially as Trump is likely to have nearly unchecked power to accomplish his face-eating compared to his first term. No matter what, there will be measures taken to address this (see the 'No ban' section), but you can vote here to determine if they will be banned altogether.
This post will be locked to ensure only the 'Ban' and 'No ban' comments are present. The one with the highest score in three days (14 November, 22:00 UTC) will be the winner. A rediscussion of the decision will not be possible until 20 January 2025, the day Trump is set to assume office. Obviously this isn't strictly a Trump community and any leopard at all is welcome and encouraged for diversity, but it goes without saying that he's the most prominent leopard right now by far.
Ban
The 'Ban' comment means that articles and other stories (e.g. social media screenshots) which are a certain amount out-of-date (this will initially be three (3) months but is subject to change) will be subject to immediate removal regardless of justification. There will be no penalty for the user other than a removal. This will apply to all posts, not just Trump-related ones, but I foresee this mostly affecting Trump posts. Should a ban be enacted, a separate measure can be voted on to determine if we should have e.g. a policy where posts more recent than three months or older than 20 years are allowed, but nothing inbetween, so that historical leopards are allowed to be showcased. For right now, I don't want to unjustly split the vote.
No ban
The 'No ban' comment means that this will not happen, namely that there will be literally no cutoff. However, a minimally intrusive measure will be taken to distinguish posts covering older stories, namely that if the story is older than three months and the story does not take place in the current year, the poster will need to indicate this in the title by prepending it with the year in brackets (e.g. '[1914] I never thought the politicians would send my children off to die!').
Voting
You're welcome and heavily encouraged to upvote the comment you want and downvote the one you don't, since otherwise there's no way to guarantee someone else won't do that and cancel your vote. Both comments combined must receive at least 50 upvotes (regardless of score accounting for downvotes) for this to be binding.

Kathy Watson was anxious about her health coverage even before she woke up gasping for breath last month and drove herself to the emergency room with a flare-up in her heart condition.
