4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Jesus, where do you live so I can never go there?
Theres a reason so many astronauts come from here... They want to leave so bad, they fled the planet.
Ah, America. Yeah that tracks. ;)
Your state at least has a great air museum in Dayton to encourage more of those Astronauts.
No, op is assuming you're American. They mean Ohio specifically.
Actually, I was assuming more people have heard the joke "more astronauts have come from Ohio because they're fleeing the state" more than assuming "this person is American"
But yeah, Ohio. People meme on it being boring and full of cow farms and corn fields for a reason.
Also occasionally our rivers catch on fire and trains get a bit tipsy.
I once had a friend turn down an invitation because he “had friends coming in from Cleveland.” I told him he could just say he didn’t want to go.
But at least your roads aren't so full of pot holes you make Afroman look sober like your neighbour to the north.
It's funny you say that, because I turned a good bit of my right side into what looked like hamburger by flipping my bike on a pothole.
There's a running joke (probably in every state, but I've mostly heard it in relation to Ohio) that the state flower is a traffic cone, and the state tree are the big orange barrels. Brand new roads get ripped up every winter because plows and road salt aren't good for... Well, anything except cars. And they're not even goor for cars long term.
Ohio is the SCP state alongside Arkansas.
No, op is assuming you're American. They mean Ohio specifically.
