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!
-
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.

Godawful clickbait title. YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHY HE WAS ON THE WING OF A PLANE. NUMBER TEN WILL SURPRISE YOU!
It quite literally says exactly what happened, no more no less, without putting the entire story in the headline. No bias. No Fluff. No clickbait.
It’s clickbaitier than AP standards. Fixed:
Somebody can do it better though
That’s excellent.
First sentence yea, it says what happened.
The second sentence absolutely not. That’s where it got click baity and fluff. It’s all about withholding and misdirection.
I read the first sentence as the plane being in flight. Second sentence cleared that up.
It says nothing about it being in flight in any of the title.
I will admit that the headline is more unassuming than most clickbait, but it's a context issue. The headline doesn't really address what happened, and it's obvious that we're being baited to click through and learn why the passengers "support his actions".
It's like a headline saying "He cut open the child's chest and exposed her beating heart, but her parents support him", and you have to read the article to learn that he was a heart surgeon.
People were trapped in their seats for over 5 hours without adequate ventilation or hydration, and someone opened the door. Put that in the headline, and save the fact that people side with the decision to open the door in the article.
Number 10 - he didn't know if he'd actually get caught or not, so he thought he'll try and wing it
Here's why that's a [evaluative adjective] thing.
#27B WILL SHOCK YOU! (because he packed a taser in his carry-on)
