YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
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 YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
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-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer 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.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

I was talking to a coworker at my last job about how fracking introduces dangerous chemical into the water supply, and a random guy we never talk to came up and said “OH YOU’RE WRONG ABOUT FRACKING” like his job depended on it… we were not at all related to fracking
Kinda? I mean you would think so but they spend millions on propaganda.
It’s common sense, but obfuscated by those still spending millions to deny climate change while the world literally burns around us. Gaslighting is a hell of a propaganda technique.
also funding things like "curbing your carbon footprint companies", so these pollutors dont need to lower thier emissions. seen them alot as a promotion in channels talking about nature, animals etc. the channel owners were cognizant enough to stop promoting it, once those companies have been called out as backed by OIL industry.
Yes, this is a problem much better solved on an institutional scale best served by government regulations, not by individuals doing their part. These companies you mention attempt to shift the burden of responsibility onto those with the least power to affect any real change. It’s diabolical.
Gaslighting is old-hat man.
Nowadays it's kitchen-faucet-lighting.
yea, but cancer = more medical bills. that's just a bonus add-on to the oil profits
you see, it raises the GDP!!!
that's BS there's plenty of studies that shows how fracking is very healthy (for the shareholders)
Those kids are very bad people, at least one of them has links to the MS-13 gang.
And the others had shared sensitive pokemon information with that one. biggest threat to national security.
Good luck finding land that is not near fracking sites. It's been done basically everywhere, right?
There isn't gas or oil everywhere.
yes and no. You would like to do it in relatively cheap and less populated area, and where cracks are a bit closer to surface (you do not want to drill a lot, as that would not be economically beneficial)
Adding more data to a conclusion every reasonable person knows has been happening for far too long.
If someone "knew" before we had data, that's not my definition of reasonable.
That is why they said "adding more data." We already know tons of other bad shit about it, now we know an additional bad thing.
Good that we in Europe can't buy Russian oil or gas (officiall) and get that beautiful fracking gas from the US regime or equally marvelous Qatar at 8 times the price.
And nicely shipped in an endless stream of diesel tankers.
What a fracking good deal.
Some Lemmy communities would die than realize the environmental harm Europe is doing to itself to make enemies with Russia
