The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

In 2007 I went to a hockey game. They gave away a hat. It says "Lake Erie Monsters".
Now, today the team has been renamed. It's now the Cleveland Monsters.
Point is, it's a red hat, with white text, and I haven't been able to wear it since 2016 despite having nothing to do with trump or politics.
I just like hockey. And my hat is RUINED!!!
Its just like when I was a kid, and I was like "WOW! CHARLIE CHAPLIN!!! I'M GOING TO GROW A MUSTACHE JUST LIKE YOU WHEN I GROW UP!!!"
Yeah.....about that.....
I’ve been a 49ers fan for more than 30 years, thanks to these assholes now a white guy in a red hat is immediately suspect. I tend to wear the white one with red accents more often just so folks don’t get the wrong idea.
Ohhhhhhh, please nobody make blue or orange hats bad.
I mean, orange is ALREADY a bad hat to wear, but it's not political. It's just the Browns are.....just so....so bad.....for so very long.
But at least it's not assosiated with trump!
Wouldn't it make perfect sense to associate it with Trump? He's orange, his diaper's brown, he's got the Browns color scheme and losing record down, he's grungy but not in a good way (sorry Cleveland, never actually been, love you tho Drew Carey), nobody likes him, etc...?
I was just trying to be a better person when I joined the buddhist Kentucky Karma Klub and we got our matching tattoos, but FML, I guess.
Some red-green colorblind Chinese people are having a good time right about not
Poor Luigi...
...although on second thought maybe it's a legit kink for him. Some people love being the cuckold. Not meaning to kinkshame Luigi either.
And Link
As someone who saw the Legend of Zelda cartoon... There's a lot to unpack here. It might explain some things.
God, why did they make him like that in the cartoon
So, uh....your wife. Is she looking for a bull?
Sounds politically-awkward.
you don't want their wives to get lonely?
that's obviously not green, that's uhhh, hmm..
seaweed! seaweed coloured, it's a shade of black actually.
In church heraldry, Bishops and Archbishops use use a green hat. Up until the last decade, the Chinese Bishops and Archbishops used other colors for this very reason.
Wow, fuck Robin Hood, I guess.
Wow, fuck Robin Hood's wife, I guess
Maid Marian? Yeah, there's a lot of porn of that
please tell me it's medieval England smut, have to find a rule 34 historian
Gonna give you the “wellll ackshually” here:
The original Robin Hood wore red, his hood the color of a robin, hence the name
It’s only since the Disney version everyone slaps him in green
"I'm going to hide in the forest and attack the Sheriff's people. Now what should I wear?" Spots red hood."Perfect!"
spoiler
Now, granted, robins aren't really red, more a reddish brown that would absolutely blend into the trees, not unlike the birds.
Do Chinese snicker amongst themselves when they see a tourist wearing a green hat? I know I would
When I was in Japanese language school, this actually came up amongst the Chinese students in the group as it was an example in the textbook or something. Laughter was had and then they explained to the rest of us later.
Or a turtle
Huh so it was the cuckqueen that started it eh.
