News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore 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 META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser 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.



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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Because you can't kill every human. Human civilization has advanced to the point that it is capable of surviving basically anything short of everything all at once.

So with that in mind, literally any ideology of "just let it all collapse", no matter how much the shithead insists they hate everyone equally, is a fascist wish for death upon the disfortuned and socially ostracized.

Being bad at math and insisting on a completely impossible "what I'mactually aiming for!" does not insulate you from being a racist shitbag for wanting a scenario which will inevitably cause the disproportionate slaughter of the underprivileged.

Not even the Thanos Snap escapes this, the tack on impacts will naturally hit the disfortuned and socially ostracized hardest, making it a lot less "random" as the big purple antman pocket insists it would be.

Practically it is impossible, I agree but everyone being dead leaves nobody to suffer. Logically this seems like a simple yet functional solution.

It's simplicity on a conceptual level is what I believe attracts so many to the idea.

I didn't expect anyone to actually consider mass genocide being a serious practical solution.

I have no idea what this Thanos thing has to do with it either.

Also I have no idea what maths has to do with this. I never mentioned an equation. Just that by everyone I indeed meant everyone. This is a theoretical solution. If humanity insisted on being practical all the time we would probably not have ended up with things like topology.
