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.

Fish and rainwater, apparently.
I always thought raw fish was filled with parasites and worms, which was why 'raw' fish is always flash frozen first. I'd imagine in a situation where the chances of dehydration are so high, risking food poisoning would be life or death.
They can be but are not always. Fish are flash frozen for freshness first.
However humans can't live on fish alone for 3 months without serious health effects. Hopefully he gets that looked into.
Nutritionists don't recommend fish more than 4 servings per week. The main reasons are as follows:
The high oil content has increased chances of causing upset stomach when consumed for long periods of time.
Fish are great for Omega-3 but also high in Omega-6. Consumption of high levels of fish can cause liver and heart disease. This reason is why some contestants pn the TV show "Alone" stop eating a high fish diet.
Ocean fish have increased levels of mercury and microplastics.
I think you're thinking of rabbits. Rapid meat is too lean for humans to survive off of it, there isn't enough fat in it. Fish does not have that problem they have high levels of omega-3 fatty acids and other oils.
You cannot live off of rabbit as your only protein. You can live off of fish as your only protein, but that's not what's being discussed.
A diet that is 100% fish can be toxic to humans. Both Omega-3 and Omega-6 are nessessary for humans but in high quantities they are also linked in liver and heart disease. Nutritionist and health professionals recommend no more than 3 to 4 servings of fish a week.
Ocean fish are also very high in mercury and microplastics.
Not all parasites cause severe food poisoning or make you sick immediately. They depend on your survival for their life cycle. When they make you sick depends on the parasites life cycle. He and Bella both probably could benefit from treatment for parasites.
