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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
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.

Gendered bathrooms have always been stupid. Everybody poops, everybody pees, it's good enough to just have a room where everyone can do that.
Bathroom stalls are nasty. Just have poop rooms with good ventilation and a community sink.
Oh fuck that. No way I want to line up behind 20 women when I need to drop a deuce
yeah this isn't really an issue in Denmark where gender neutral toilets are fairly regular.
The fun thing is tha t by combining them you reduce the waiting tolime overall for everyone together, while making it a bit longer for the now privileged.
This. Most of the time women have to wait in long lines while men's room is empty. There were times women would loose patience and just went to man's room because why not.
Most women will not be using the urinal, though, which is why men's bathrooms are often much quicker to get through.
This is why it's now becoming standard design practice in the design of restrooms for large public buildings to simply build the women's restroom larger than the men's. This is really the classic "equality vs. equity." Equality means building both restrooms the same size. Equity means realizing that to deliver the same level of service - the same average wait time, the women's restrooms probably should just be built larger and with more total stalls. So you build out your restrooms with the number of stalls in the women's room being about 40% or so greater than the total number of stalls and urinals in the men's.
That too. But especially with smaller bathrooms you have situations with lines to women's while men's being just empty
I mean you could do separate lines or something for that— but at the same time maybe that just means you need more bathrooms if there is a significant line. Also maybe making a separate powder room would reduce the lines by directing those who want to do make up or something to a different place.
It's not make up that causes long lines. Please tell me you're being sarcastic and I've missed it.
I think their idea is a good idea for freeing up sink space, but as far as decreasing the line? That's not gonna happen.
For those unaware - those long lines you see outside the door? They extend into the bathroom. As soon as a stall opens up, the next person goes in. We're not waiting for sinks or mirrors.
This is the way. The shitter and the talking-shit areas should be separate.
Missed opportunity for taking shit and talking shit.
Wait are you saying they´re taking up bathroom stalls to do their makeup??
No. This thread is just full of guys who don't understand how female anatomy works.
Word of caution. Many politicians are into that.
