tech/science swag. 
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.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

What about AmaryllisGardner? Wrote 23,000 articles in Scots, so around a third of that language's wiki, only for it to be discovered he's some neurodivergent teenager from North Carolina who can't speak the language whatsoever.
https://slate.com/technology/2020/09/scots-wikipedia-language-american-teenager.html
Or the Saudi dude who became obsessed with supporting actor Corbin Bleu from High School Musical and wrote (Google Translated) articles for him in 193 languages, making him the third most propagated person on the site, just behind Jesus and Obama?

Or Neelex, who was a respected moderator until it was discovered that he made around 80,000 pages for synonyms for boobs, some bordering on the increasingly bizzare, and also maintained an exhaustively detailed article on a Canadian beauty pageant winner, including keeping track of when she went out to eat at specific restaurants?

My beloved nekobit spent a lot of time codemaxxxing and adding this useful new Marsey selector feature to the site
https://rdrama.net/h/changelog/post/86425/added-an-inline-emoji-picker-with
He asked for aevybb to give him 1k marseybucks but my beloved aevybb thought that was too little so he gave him 10k marseybucks instead, then neko gamblemaxxxed it away (I suspect the sinister 🐍 rigged the goombling somehow)
Aevybb promised to do the needful and reuinite neko with his 10k marseybucks
So tldr, yes, after spending many hours codemaxxxing a substantial feature improvement (He Did it For Free) my beloved nekobit was compensated with marseybucks equivalent to a $20 paypig donation

DramaBlackjack has a player edge lol
While Slots substantially favors the site
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Wrong. Slots is 50:50 every time and blackjack is 50:50 only if you play perfectly, if you make a mistake your chances are worse. Unless the chances were changed since I last saw them posted.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Slots:
1/100*12+4/100*5+8/100*3+16/100*2+11/100 = .99
Tldr slots isn't 50/50, there's a 1% house edge
Blackjack:
We have several rules that favor the player.
Dealer stands on soft 17
5 card Charlie
We allow doubling down after hitting
Not going to do all the math on that because I'm lazy and also I don't know how
But 🐍💦 🐍 did the needful and determined there is a player edge and I trust his math (hence how he's at the top of the dramacoin leaderboard)
Tl;dr if you're good at blackjack you can make money over time. With slots you will lose money over time

What's funny is that half of the IPs they've banned are probably not even the same guy, their edits are unrelated. They seem to be blocking anyone who takes issue with 'best known for' as a phrase.
Maybe, just maybe, "best known for" isn't the sort of phrasing an encyclopedia should be using anyway.

how easy is it to seethemaxx on wikipedia? is it possible to use a vpn to edit? these are important questions i’m bored rn and wanna cause some mischief
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
It's difficult because Wiki has an army of rules-lawyering autists who work to force out new accounts. Touch anything related to politics and it'll be instantly reverted by a handful of people, and you'll be reported to the jannies on top of it.
If you have an established account, be subtle and link random 'sources'. They won't check the contents of the links, it just has to seem vaguely plausible and as long as it says what they want to hear you'll have no problems.
