YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

LOL, drat, they're on to me (I tried to get the $100 even though I voted):

Are you lying to Cards Against Humanity, [name redacted]? Big Data says you’re lying. Says you voted in 2020. Big Data knows a lot about you, [name redacted], and now we do too. So here’s a new proposal: how about you give Cards Against Humanity PAC $7.99, get 30 incredible new cards about the crazy shit that’s happened this year, and we’ll forget all about what you’ve done?

Honestly, I was expecting a stronger rebuke.

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

Being that it's cards against humanity, I expected them to email a disapproving message to your mother.

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 70 points 2 months ago

I used to love your card games before you got all political. Your mom used to love you before you got so fucking stupid.

lol

The FAQ made me lol. Here’s my favorites.

How do you know who didn’t vote?

We formed a Super PAC and bought the personal voting records of every American citizen from a data broker we found on the internet. It’s pretty fucked up.

Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?

Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “MuskIsDumb@cah.lol” as your referrer, and they'll be legally obligated to pay us $47. The more people who do this, the more Musk money we’ll get to un-fuck America.

If he doesn’t pay up, we’ll sue him again.

It's not bribing, it's lobbying citizens!

This is singlehandedly the best piece of satire I have ever seen, I was rolling the entire read, bravo. As a European, this reads like a black mirror episode.

To quote the website: "This should probably be illegal!"

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Damn, can't buy this pack of cards outside the USA

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Makes sense with how they're using the money

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh for sure, just a PSA - once I found out there were cards I wanted some, then found out I couldn't have them lol

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

They'll undoubtedly get resold, hopefully for a reasonable price

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

That doesn't make sense to me. Trump probably gets money from outside the US too doesn't he? Also due to US imperialism this election also affects people outside the of US

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

It's illegal for foreign nationals to donate to any PAC or SuperPAC.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Only fascists are allowed to blatantly violate campaign finance laws with impunity. If anybody else tries it, they immediately get mega-fucked by the fascist-stacked courts.

[–] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 2 months ago

They mention that several times in the FAQ. :)

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I bought two PAC packs

[–] Lux18@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago

Could someone explain how exactly this and what Musk is doing is legal? They mention a loophole, but don't say what the loophole is
