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.
-
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.

Because you think you're seeing a purely natural wonder but it turns out to be at least somewhat orchestrated.
It doesn't take away the beauty of what you're looking at, but it does take away some of the feeling behind that beauty if that makes sense.
I mean, it is still a natural wonder, same as it was.
All we did was make it so we can move the water to one side so we can take a look / work on maintaining the natural wonder, it's not like we dug out the channels and created those 3 waterfalls
The beauty of something shouldn't be affected at all by the insanely hardcore engineering it takes to maintain said beauty. If it does for you I'd recommend therapy cuz literally every natural wonder will be ruined for you if that's the case cuz they all get maintained
Dude, you asked me why and I told you why. I'm sorry you don't care for why I was mildly disappointed but that was still I was mildly disappointed.
Suggesting I need therapy for that is just rude and unnecessary.
How is it orchestrated? What you see is what nature did. The water can be controlled somewhat because of engineering but it doesn't change the features of the fall as nature made it
I'm not arguing against you, just not getting your perspective (which I'm just trying to understand)
If you can turn off the falls whenever you want, I'd call that orchestrated.
I mean, they put lights on with colours at night... And there is a whole boulevard built around them so you can see them better
Would you call that orchestrated?
Yes?
Ok, I think I get your point now!
Cheers!
