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.

One could assume it is a basic understanding to take your literal shit back home...
Normal rock climbers do, or organise someone below to collect poop bags below on big wall.
A lot of hikers don't, though. Neither their poop nor their rubbish.
Source: Rock climber that frequents clean up trail days so our favourite locations don't get shut down. "Leave it better than you found it." is a common saying in the community whenever going outdoors.
Rubbish, I understand. But wouldn't human feces decompose really quickly in most except for the coldest environments?
You generally use wet wipes if not TP. People either leave it or try bury it, animals get to it, and there's dug up shit covered wipes everywhere not showing any signs of decomposing.
Also high traffic areas, it builds up. Turds take a while to decompose on the surface or buried shallow—they harden up as the moisture leaves. Sounds gross but if you gotta, dig in soil (not sand or silt), and break up your shit with a stick. Never near water, and preferably in a bed of bush that'll suck it up fast over the weeks.
But ideally, poop bags :) Do the deed, pick it up like we do our pet dogs', put in the wipes, knot/seal the bag and either leave it for pickup on the way out, or put it in your bigger trash bag/compartment.
I'm actually designing a crag backpack with a reserved waste area. A part on the bottom that seals off smell and liquid and tough inside for when you pick up broken glass and hose out that section.
I'm no hippie, it just pisses me off that much outdoors.
