United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
I'm sorry what? We have a native spider the size of a rat? Why did I not know this. This is important information.
I am never leaving the house again.
Plot twist: they're already in your house.
(I'm hacking around with Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead at the moment) Noooooo!!!!!
I thought they looked like the dock spiders we have in Minnesota, turns out they're the same thing. Utterly terrifying but completely harmless.
Noooo reading this I thought I was safe being all the way over here :( whyyyy
I don't think you're likely to ever come across one if you don't live in a lake, they have only been identified in a handful of places.
Maybe it's a baby rat. I'm going to believe it's a baby rat.
they're apparently 7cm wide including the legs, so more like the size of a mouse and even then it's being a bit generous.
They hunt fish. There's no need to worry if you aren't fish.
If only arachnophobia were so logical
