Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.

It's mostly women who are desperate for validation and use covid as an outlet. They're likely fully convinced they have long covid but it's purely in their head, like the placebo effect.
Should just post feet online instead.

well it could be a real disease, but perhaps it is just more mental like havana syndrome or something

I haven't even gotten covid once and there are people out there collecting covid variants like they're collecting pokemon cards

Around 30-75% of people are asymptomatic, so chances are you've been infected. You don't realize this because your long covid has impaired your mental faculties.

it's so dangerous that you have to test every day to see if you have it otherwise you might not get any symptoms and could spread it to someone else without knowing.

I'm 99.9% sure I caught it that first December, when they were still saying it was a right wing anti-Chinese conspiracy. And further 99% sure I never got it since.
Which means I never got paid time off to scam nerds online for my sniffles.

I have had it twice, and I don't even go out
I had it literally last week, so I couldn't visit my grandparents for Christmas and ate chili alone in my apartment
Both times it was pretty much like a bad cold/mild flu, but still I'm not gonna go to my 85 year old grandpa's house knowing I have the grandpa-killer

Did you watch the video? This woman is completely exhausted all the time. She barely has any energy to lay in bed posting on social media and collecting tens of thousands of dollars from patreon every month. It is a very serious disease.

The last study I read, admittedly a while ago, said it's probably similar to the gulf war syndrome and post-9/11 syndrome, soldiers came back from Desert Storm with similar symptoms and they initially thought it was exposure to chemical weapons, but years of studies found zero evidence of physical damage to the body. They concluded it was probably just a different form of PTSD combined with social phenomena.
I'd imagine COVID can be traumatizing or at least disrupt your life hard for a period of time especially if you bought into the hysteria, which has physical ramifications. Especially if it creates a feedback-loop where you lay in bed all the time never exercising, which then affects your diet because you don't have a good appetite, you dont get much sunlight, etc etc.

Considering at least one study of Long Covid showed a number of sufferers had never had Covid, this is likely another case of believing only the convenient science.

my favorite was the bri'ish study that said people who thought they had long covid were just "suffering bouts of ill health" instead

*word salad noises*
If long covid is as
vaguepermanent as is claimed, then cleaner air won't do anything. Got infected once? 15% of long covid. Got a few small droplets of the virus in you? 15% chance. Stay inside forever? My brain is foggy; therefore, I have long covid.WE MUST PROTECT OUR PRECIOUS AIR PARTICLES AT ALL COSTS.
Oh look, another orangetard comments below!
Why yes, I support Big Pharma and fully believe its marketers. We must have an endless roll-out of government-subsidized medication for a problem so vague that anyone can believe they have it.

I think I had the coof in like January of 2020, I say I think since it had all the feelings of what it was supposed to have and I eventually couldn't get out of bed and could barely breathe. I think I probably spread it all over the public bus and school. We thought it was the flu. But afterward I didn't feel super good for a few weeks and I think that's long COVID, where your body feels tired for a week
