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.

Hey genius, what you posted contradicts what you are saying.
I'm not sure how you think it contradicts what I'm saying, but I'm waiting for your scientific definition of breed, please.
It's really obvious if you read it.
I did read it. It says there's no scientific definition. You said there is. So what is it?
Read the rest
If it has no scientific definition, it has no scientific definition. The fact that you can't provide one is good evidence. The fact that the thing you are telling me to read says so is much better evidence.
You apparently can't read.
What part of this did I not read?
Apparently the whole thing. Either that or you don't know what it means. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7925393/ you should tell these guys what they study and track don't exist.
Still waiting for that scientific definition of breed. That link doesn't have it and the thing you've told me to read more than once literally says it is a term of art, not scientific.
You're gonna be waiting a long time unless you start comprehending what you're shown. Like seriously, are you really this oblivious or just playing?
Let's pretend I'm this oblivious. That way you can give me the scientific definition of 'breed.'
Let's pretend you're not missing the fucking point entirely, and sickle cell anemia isn't only a problem for one race.
You were talking about breed, not race. You claimed breed was a scientific term. Please give the scientific definition.
Did I? Where? Seems to me I said they exist.
Me: “Race” has no biological definition. Star Wars fans can be a race if you want them to.
You: Why not pretend breeds of horses don’t exist while you’re at it?
https://lemmy.world/comment/9511019
So if you didn't mean that breed had a scientific definition, why bring it up when discussing race's scientific definition?
They track heritable disease frequency by race, which obviously exists scientifically being that. you act like 23 and me doesn't exist. "race doesn't exist" vs "DNA says this was a (whatver race)"
That's not an answer.
I will paste what I wrote again. Please either answer my question or give the scientific definition of breed:
Your race is insufferable pedantic moron.
