Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Source is a bit outdated now, 2018 (didn't realize when I posted that), but it's primarily from drugs apparently. Both prescription and non-prescription.
A bit sad that they didn't try to distinguish between accidents and suicide. But that's probably hard to know in most cases.
Yeah, makes sense then
A drug overdose is termed as a posioning in these kinds of formats/contexts, for whatever reason.
The vast majority of these 'poisonings' are not like... snake bites, food poisoning, radiation poisoning, cyanide... they are overdoses of some kind, meth, fentanyl, prescription drugs, alcohol, etc.
Back in the 90s, when you broke up with someone, you poisoned them. it was the fashion.
Hah!
I was going to post Alice Cooper's "Posion" as a joke response, but then I watched the music video, and its basically a 45 year old describing how he can barely resist deflowering an 18 yo.
So... yeah.
I'm going with 'rape culture' was more the norm in the 90s.
I think I've heard from several people on lemmy now that most of the 'classic rock' musicians had pretty horrible attitudes towards children, ala what you're now used to with republicans.
I wonder if food poisoning (microbes like e. coli, listeria, salmonella) counts. Oooooh, or Botox gone wrong??
