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.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.



Partnered Communities:

But I don't live in Colorado?

[–] earlgrey0@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Take the Amtrak to CO and bring a bike.

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

But I don't live in the US?

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Who let you on the internet?

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 6 points 1 week ago

Go home, Germany, you're early

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Take the viarail to the Amtrak and then...

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah but then I'd have to be in the US

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Well that's a mistake.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

How much this cost exactly how do I use it in Oklahoma?

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

First, you leave Oklahoma for good.

[–] sunstoned@lemmus.org 5 points 1 week ago

First step to any good plan

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

After searching on a very unhelpful website, it looks like it goes from $5 to $43. And the trip could take several hours, depending on how far you're going. So it's not a commute thing, more like a tourism thing.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It depends on the line. The bustang runs lines Denver-Boulder and Denver-Foco that lots of people use for intercity commuting.

[–] jawa21@piefed.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 week ago

This is an ad that isn't even kind of disguised. Just a literal post of an ad.

[–] earlgrey0@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

It’s true! You can also take your bike on the Bustang and enjoy the amazing bikes paths that CO has to offer.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 8 points 1 week ago

I go to Colorado to boondock at 12k feet on federal land 45 minutes from the nearest tiny town. I can't even fly in and rent a car, rentals aren't making it where I like to go. The cities are the least interesting part of the state.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

They showed 10% of the black population of Colorado in this video.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Casa Bonita in Denver is literally the only reason I will ever step foot in the USA again.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Some people are really into South Park.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah but there isn’t that much… and the food is… meh. The prices are high…. Idk. Like go for an experience sure, it’s fun. But for that to be the one thing you would go to the states for…. Wow.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Have you been since the reopening?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I have. The food is ok but nothing to write home about. It’s fun to go for shits and giggles and definitely a “should visit if you’ve never been” but I wouldn’t want to go there again.

[–] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

South Park didn't invent Casa Bonita. It's been around since the 1970s. It's basically impossible to overstate how much people who grew up in Denver love that place, even in spite of how famously terrible the food is.

[–] pdqcp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

That's good, does anyone know if any other states have similar services?

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

So most of these are on the front range (which is ass) but it’s interesting that it goes to grand junction. Any stops along the way?

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 3 points 1 week ago

It's pretty sad that the US doesn't have any State-run Inter-State bus system.

Just nationalize grayhound or something

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

This is true. When i lived in Longmont, i took the public bus to and from the Denver airport more than once. Very inexpensive and convenient. Very comfortable buses

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip -2 points 1 week ago

Is bustang a synonym of bussy?
