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!
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.
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.
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.

I've met him a few times, he's got an interesting aura. He's the least alpha male in existence but he surrounds himself with people who'd die for him and he knows how to get things done. He's a nice guy.

Living, walking I fricking love science soyjak. The crying about Reddit being too mean and dangerous, or nuking a video because someone in it might've done a transmisia was kinda expected, what I didn't expect is saying death is a bad thing he should "solve" in video about cryogenic chambers. I'd expect it from a Silicon Valley techstrag, not a I fricking love science guy.
Still he did indeed make interesting videos at times, the format is nice (The Tim Traveller also falls into similar category).

He filmed a video with a swordswoman and she was a hecking TERF and maybe she no longer is, who knows or cares. As a response he wrote a longpost blogpost, where he said he wasn't aware of it I think, but deleted the video regardless afterwards because he's still a libtard cuck after all.

Can't see any reason to think that's incorrect. He was near the end of probably his fifth year at uni (assuming a three year undergrad).
Therefore, he is 38/39.

You're actually eunuchs, not "transexuals." You can not transcend your s*x or alter it in any way, it is inherent, even for individuals who are born genetically or physically deformed and termed intersex. Eunuchs are an imposed quisling class whose primary purpose is to humiliate and administer over conquered populations. This "artificial third s*x" acts as a buffer for those with actual power, a clown to hide who holds the crown. For the eunuchs themselves, they trade their loyalty to the biological and organic structures of life, such as family, for political ones, sometimes this is termed "Bioleninism." This is why the USG is now so dead set on exporting its culture of eunuchry as a social issue, because its existence is simply a mark of the USG's dominance. This was true in the old East and the Ottoman empire, we see it happening now with such ridiculous figures as Dr. Richard Levine, the jew, the s*x pervert, the entity.

After thinking about it for 12 hours (yes, I spend half my life thinking about youtube politics)
Despite my annoyance at his "you should get out more" comment, I do grudgingly have to approve of him for explicitly bowing out rather than running himself into the ground or just fading out and disappearing, leaving people asking, "hey where are you?"
AVGN ran himself into the ground.
Vsauce disappeared (along with 75% of my subscription list).
Tom Scott...handled it...the best way...he could. I'm grinding my teeth while saying that.
By the way, Mitten Squad passed away a few days ago; he was one funny mug, and died too young.

I appreciate him just up and leaving versus what the alternative would have become (escalating internet drama with some rando, apology videos, allegations of grooming fans, as what happens with every YouTuber who hangs out beyond their legitimately interesting content arc)
Now that means his content will be what it is forever and doesn't get marred by the inevitable death of the author
