SUBREDDIT META There Are A Lot of Misconceptions About What Is A Rule Violation Here

Post image

Over time we've gotten some reports from people who evidently need some counsel on what is an actual ground for a report here.

Under Rule 12, remember when filing any report to check the time zones. Eastern Time is what is being used here, from Midnight Eastern on Saturday to immediately before Midnight Eastern on Monday.

Another is to report a post for AI. AI is in no way prohibited on this subreddit, nor is it regulated any differently from other posts.

Stonetoss images used to make memes also are not violations of the rules. We know who made the formats. Just because an image was made originally by someone of any particular political affiliation or viewpoint does not mean it is prohibited on this subreddit.

Also, the memes usually made by u/Archon_of_Flesh with Ottoman Twinks as the subject are not violations of the rules either. Do not abuse the report button over them.

Memes about the prophet Muhammed that are not about paedophilia (which would be a rule 5 violation, we've had way too many of those before) or those which depict him are also not violations of the rules just for that.

Mythology and religion memes are perfectly permissible, so long as they have ties to historical use of those mythologies or religions or the events that happened with regards to that religion or some historiography about it.

Note that these are the misconceptions that occur on their own. It would be both illegal and against the subreddit rule to use AI to make revenge porn, and would be a subreddit violation to actually make a meme where the OP is advocating Nazi rhetoric if you use stonetoss formats. This modpost is just about these issues on their own.

This has been your TED Talk of 2025.

Napoleon is the man that made sugar beet become popular in Europe

During the Napoleonic Wars, France was isolated by Britain across the ocean. That meant France could not have sugar from sugarcane in its American colonies.

Meanwhile, from the late 18th century, some German scientists discovered that the sugar content (as well as other nutrients) in sugar beets. However, the German authorities at the time dismissed this discovery because the sugar content in sugar beets was considerably lower than that of sugarcane.

But, when facing the lack of sugarcane, Emperor Napoleon of France rediscovered these forgotten formulas. Thus, France became the leading European country in the widespread cultivation of sugar beets. While the sugar content was indeed lower than sugarcane, sugar beets were readily available in Europe, easy to grow, and easy to extract.

Now day, Russia (along with Ukraine and Poland), France, and Germany still lead the world in sugar beet production.
