World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
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.

I'd personally prefer the use of manure or animal dung instead of spray paint as the former is a bit more natural and should not create any issue to the environment.
Furthermore, if used in the right quantity and of the right quality manure can permanently stick to a porous surface thus rendering the entire yatch, car, jet, helicopter or transport mean completely unusable for a very long time. For this application I'd suggest the use of carnivore ejections as these are usually far more unbearable than those coming from herbivores.
Anyway, keep up the good fight!!
Thank you, FabioTNO, for providing much-needed insight on the topic of fecal adhesion and permanence.
You seem to know your shit.
Lol, they might be a bit dad-joke like but I find these wordplays very funny.
Thanks for the laugh!
I'd be more inclined to use road marking paint (the really thick stuff you boil to prepare) catapulted onto the deck. Or just burn it down.
Permanent damage is the only language they understand.
Too bad that you wouldn't be damaging just the leisure of a super rich person but also the environment around it.
We need to find ways to hurt them without damaging the environment worst than they are already doing if possible
The impacts of the environmental damage are not necessarily worse than the environmental damage from not sinking superyachts in the long term, if it becomes a common enough threat that rich people no longer feel secure in owning them.
The concern with anything too destructive is with the property and safety of workers on board imo, not the ships themselves.
I'd recommend Andreas Malm's book How to Blow Up a Pipeline if you want to hear more about the reasoning for this sort of thing.
I've heard about this book before but I haven't had the chance to read it yet.
Definitely a reading I must add to my list, I'll try to find a copy of it to correct this lack of information.
Thanks a lot for the suggestion!!
I don't think yachts and helicopters are made up of porous surfaces, quite the opposite. Except for fabric parts of course
It is a ship. You can easily spray off manure and it will find its way to the bilge.
Have you ever tried to remove shit from a (both natural and artificial )leather jacket? Expecially shit moist with urine?
I don't see anybody using the soft and comfortable sofas usually provided to these boats for a very long time
Do as you wish. I am just saying the decks are designed to be hosed down. Pretty much everything on a ship is. You spray it and it finds it way to the disgusting bottom tanks.
