2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

Once in a lifetime event (every couple of years).

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 29 points 4 weeks ago

To be fair every couple of years feels like a lifetime these days

[–] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's almost like the climate is constantly changing.

[–] Iapar 0 points 3 weeks ago

For some people it is a once in a lifetime.

And what does Ron do? Doesn’t even answer his fucking phone

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 33 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

In all fairness it was a cop calling, I'm sure he's scared of her.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 26 points 4 weeks ago

Ron is afraid of her only because she is a minority.

If only we could change directions of that storm with a sharpie

Worst storm in 100 years so far**

2025: Harris [I hope] warns Hurricane ____ could be worst storm to hit Florida in 100 years, including Hurricane Milton.

Why isn't he on the shore throwing Bounty Paper Towels into the Gulf?

[–] KinglyWeevil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 weeks ago

We have to nuke the hurricane with paper towels to fit it to a sharpie drawn trajectory

[–] Xanis@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago

100 years? Careful, last time someone made that claim we had maskless idiots injecting literal poison into themselves while claiming a life saving shot causes autism.

"Don't listen to Biden or the BlueMAGA! If you leave they will take your homes and your land. This "Hurricane" is caused by them! Don't run!"

sigh

To be sure, he should ask Carter.

It could well be as bad.

Please let it take out a record number of bigots and white nationalists and christofascists. Start with Ronnie.
