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.

It also makes me wonder, if someone kills let's say 10 people, by let's say using lethal gas that remotely releases in all their apartments at the same time.
Does that make them a parallel killer?
What if you killed people, one at a time, all over the universe, travelling from crime scene to crime scene in a space bus? Would you be a universal serial bus killer?
Mass murderer.
Over time: serial killer
All at once: mass murderer
Brilliant. I like that a lot. I'm probably gonna steal that.
Do it.
Just to be clear, I mean "steal" the idea of "parallel killer" as joke. I'm a pirate, I steal IP. I'm not going to murder anyone. FBI you can retreat, confirm retreat.
Oh... haha yeah that's what I meant too. I gave my blessing for you to steal the joke, yeah that's the ticket!
Boys, call in the MPAA, we got a live one
You do mean the The Motion Picture Association, right? I do know them because they fought South Park, but eventually the approved the movie title "bigger, longer and uncut" .... because it wasn't as offensive as the word "Hell". (true story and I seriously think they didn't get it).
Is that the organisation you are threating me with?
Yes siree Bob, and if that don't do the trick, well... Let me introduce you to a little something called the RIAA. Ya toast now!
Last I heard circa 2002, they'll sue your parents
Checkmate, American pirates
Come on!
Don't let your dreams stay dreams!
This is stupid (not in a you’re a jerk way or anything though). But there is a word for that: “spree killer”
Series-Parallel killer.
