tech/science swag. 
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 NOT 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.
The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality or funny effortposts and informative or entertaining comments. Please refrain from posting the following:
Boring wingcucked nonsense nobody cares about that belongs in chudrama

I mention it a lot, but it's because it's been 80 years and nobody really gives a shit about the actual nazis anymore, enough time has gone past and they're just irrelevant to the world. They've always been the cool looking underdog bad guys in media so people have a secret soft spot for them, and jews have tanked their reputation so hard with sandshit that nobody young gives a shit about the holocaust. Even nazi racism is unable to be understood by modern zoomers brainrotted with ideas such as white privilege, as nazi racism was based on schizo woo aryan theories and hating slavs. You simply can't fit BLM and intersectionality into that. And for all the fuss about modern white supremacy, contemporary White Nationalism draws very little inspiration from the nazis. Even Kevin MacDonald tier anti-semite works focus very little on the Nazi era.
Plus if you step back and look at Hitler from a non-western brainrotted perspective, his rise and fall is a romantic character arc. Say what you want about the guy, going from sleeping on a park bench and laying bricks as a day labourer to conquering all of continental Europe in 20 years is the stuff of legends. It's only natural we'll develop a fondness of him from that perspective as more time goes on.
I'm sure people in the 1890s England were going "wtf, why do English kids suddenly like Napoleon and think the French Empire was cool, we fought wars to stop him, he was a war criminal"

Also, even stupid authoritarian systems seem more appealing now because our world is so currently lacking in meaning. Americans in the 40's (including racists) had their faith, families, national identity, etc. as an alternative vision to what Nazis and commies offered. But modern America is lacking in comparison.
In decades past, it was easy to use Nazis as generic bad guys in large part because they represented extreme rigidity and lack of autonomy. But these days, the average young person has been hurt more by lack of structure. Media that glorifies rebellion against structure and order just doesn't ring true anymore.
That leaves us with "Nazis are bad because they're racist," which is true, but it also indicates that other anti-Nazi arguments have weakened in efficacy. Most Americans in the 40's were racist, and they still hated Nazis. Meanwhile, rhetoric about racism get thrown around enough that Nazis are just one of many many many things that are racist, which weakens any claim that they are a special sort of evil.

These are all kind of a gross oversimplifications which is the running theme here of what leads to the answer to the original flip the script narrative imo.
Nazi's were unironically so cartoony bad en masse that fighting them is literally what made WW2 "The Good War"
because even when removing a contemporary lens they were still extremely fanatical and brainwashed just like the Japanese were as well. Inversely, all of the global acts since those hard times (somehow perceived as great times by r-slurs who never had to eat government issue salted pork) have lead to the greatest era of peace in the history of humanity. 
Even when accounting for anomalous world events like sandshit or slavshit (or even Rwandan genocide shit blahblahblah), given the amount of actual people literally living right now and getting along peacefully today, the chances of violet death per capita on average have still never been lower when holding the numbers out at arms length year to year, decade to decade. 
Yeah, the resurgence(?) or rise of nazi apologia is multifactorial in part due to leftoids calling everyone Nazi's which has greatly diluted the impact and meaning, on the same hand though there is a very concerted or even unconscious effort by rightoids to also whitewash / ignore the history of the Wehrmacht to make it out to be clearly distinct as if "everyone was just following orders!"
The impact of all this bullshit in the grand scheme of things is virtually non-existent though as by and large, normal people (see: not terminally online people) can easily tell the difference between sandshit and the Holocaust, or Slavshit and the american civil war etc etc, and right now the whack narratives only serve as goonbait for mass shooters like tarrant which hasn't really changed, going back to before columbine and the romanization of spree killers. 
Overall though, the infighting between both supposed forces has still been intrinsic towards the greater effect in leading the planet into the most peaceful era by capita in the history of human kind by miles and miles (aka - kiloboners for you straggy europoors) , this is also despite the fact that the media is culpable in general for living rent free in everyone's heads because the capacity to report shit has far outpaced the rate of shit actually happening by any conventional standards and this has been going on for decades and decades since NOM. So if there's anything to get worked up about it should be the clear need for TJD
TLDR everyone is r-slurred. There world has realistically never been more peaceful, which is why we have the luxury to complain about shit like
groomers trying to give kids hormones, women yeeting fetuses, and the gubberment taking our guns or freeze peaches. Consoom your rdrama and stop philosterbating. 
!historychads !oldstrags am I wrong?
Is one side really to blame?
Do bideo games cause mass shootings? Does rock and roll convert people to satanism along with DnD? Was the decline of western civilization it all started by the horrors of ballroom dancing like those pamphlets my memah's mom's church handed out when she was little?

Fukuyama-tier take that blatantly ignores the scale at which violence and upheaval occurs in the modern era. Referring to shit like mutually assured destruction as "peaceful" is very naive and the past few years should have broken the illusion that history has ended.

We need a new Hitler bad guy figure. Saddam Hussein kicked it too early. Bin Laden was whatever. Palestoid leaders die too quickly without doing anything. North Korea is lame and
tier.
Putin was the best chance but he's an old fart and his military is cartoon serial esque

I think modern mass media and journ*lism really undermines the cult of personality, I'm sure if Caesar was around today we'd just consider him another gay balding manlet exactly like Putin.
North Korean gluttonous decadent leaders are great as comic relief villains though.

Maybe China can crank things up with a Xi replacement. Wokeness and BIPOC/immigrant worship has always been a glowie long game to give zoomers and gen alpha a moral cause against China, indirectly through their inevitable genocide/slave trade of Africa.

You can't have an opponent if you can't even agree who's on your team in the first place. The tragedy of modern western culture is that everything is so fractal, and the leadership class so disconnected and lacking in vision that it's impossible to say what America stands for because we don't really stand for anything
