Whilst Lemmy is growing and trying to compete in content against the goliath that is reddit it needs to be reposted so to speak. I'm not about taking original or potentially original posts and claiming them as my own so it's good practice to source the location of the original.

We are competing with a platform that has existed since 2005, it's no easy task. You may find posts that are original posts. Just again best practice. Source the original.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 69 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just credit the reddit user, that's all you need. If anyone really cares they can go to reddit and look at their profile. That way you can still give credit where credit is due, and not increase reddit foot traffic.

[–] LillianVS@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago (3 children)

In fairness, I have just been doing this when mildly infuriating was born (5 days ago) and I want to ensure I am doing enough in terms of respecting the original poster. It is a good suggestion though.

I guess a template of "Repost from [username] on [insert website]" would do fine." Good comment!

[–] catboss@feddit.de 38 points 1 year ago

Just wanted to say that I appreciate you trying to give credit in the best way you can think of.

[–] steakfries@lemmy.one 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like how so far it seems people here are less aggressive and more willing to work together towards a goal that satisfies both parties rather than have a big dick swinging contest and get nowhere. Good job Lemmy.

[–] 676@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I only participate in little dick swinging contests, because I can win those

[–] shankrabbit@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I can't. :(

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (4 children)

What is even the point of this?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Remember the end of Titanic, when the crew needs to keep the poor folks away from the life rafts?

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

That didn't really happen tho.

The problem with 3rd class passenger not getting to the lifeboats was that the boat deck was accessible to I class, II class and ships crew. The III class folks were completely unfamiliar with that part of the ship (and parts leading to boat deck - the whole superstructure). At first some officers were mentioned to have enforced class segregation between areas but that was also a time when people went back to their cabins because "this ship is unsinkable, nothing bad will happen". When it became clear the ship is doomed the III class did reach the boat deck but already most life boats were launched.

Without reading the post, to deter vandals and mystery poopers.

[–] c2h6@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Someone's just gonna pee across the gate into the floor of the bathroom lol

[–] Twelve20two@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fill up a dollar store water gun with pee. Blast that stream as far as it'll go

[–] c2h6@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

"Don't cross the streams!"

Get them ready for prison in advance

[–] IMongoose@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

This is almost certainly because of the social media trend to destroy public bathrooms. Not "teehee I pulled out a lot of toilet paper" but "I body slammed the air dryer until it broke off."

[–] starrox@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago

Gotta train them kids to become familiar with prison environments. There's a whole industry waiting for them.

[–] CaptObvious@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Why link to Reddit? Just give credit to the original source and be done.

[–] Silviecat44@vlemmy.net 20 points 1 year ago

This link/post is mildly infuriating

[–] stormageddon@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

My first thought is that's crazy and way overboard. My second thought is what have y'all been doing to the bathrooms??

[–] _number8_@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

being an adult now, it's so weird seeing how schools were so overly punitive. why not treat kids decently like in college early on? even in kingergarten i'd understand 'you can use the bathroom now if you want but either way you have to learn the alphabet'

[–] cyberic@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Because students take advantage (i mean we all did im one way or another). The younger the kids, the more parents (and the law) treat the school as responsible for the student and their supervision. That being said, in my opinion access to a bathroom is a basic human right.

In my neighborhood, someone would pee in the water fountain if this happened

[–] 666dollarfootlong@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

My social-anxiety-causing-diarrhea -ass would hate this so much

[–] milkytoast@beehaw.org 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

i swear, schools will do everything they can to stop you from taking a piss when you need

[–] spicymayo@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Oh I'm sure the students will find another use for that drinking fountain.

[–] TediousParrot 6 points 1 year ago

Looks to me like it is the school that is taking the piss.

[–] Confuzzeled@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are things like this standard practice in the US? When I was a kid we were allowed to urinate and defecate when the need arose.

What’s it do? Test your DNA to make sure you only use the “correct” bathroom?

[–] Provenscroll@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This started happening in my high school a few years ago, Everyone seems to think that they did it to make it easier to catch people doing weed by closing half of the bathrooms at any given time. It's super annoying because the bathroom closest to my classes are always the ones to be locked for some reason so I have to walk across the entire school (the school is really big) to get to an open bathroom and when I do get there it's usually so dirty and crowded that it's almost unusable.

[–] girthero@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

If thats the case I think someone needs to call the fire marshal. No way I'd feel safe in a building which could lock me in like that.

Fuck it. I am peeing in the hallways!

[–] woodhouse@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm definitely choosing this school to hide during the zombie apocalypse

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Just what a guy with a bunch of bite marks would say.

[–] Wolfric1982@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Pee in the water fountain

[–] Izzy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Welcome to prison. Enjoy your stay.

I'd just piss on the gate or something, make them rethink that decision

[–] steakfries@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

kids today have it tough that's for sure. I'm curious to see how this affects society as a whole in 20-30 years.
