Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Another reason to avoid gender reveal parties, I guess

As if wild fires weren’t enough.

Gender reveal parties were conceived as a fun way of telling family and friends whether they were about to welcome a girl or a boy into the world.

Fake news

Authorities did not release the pilot’s name, and the cause of the crash is not clear.

I'm no expert, but...

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

So...they didn't even reveal the pilots gender? Maybe a gender reveal funeral?

Some of these planes are built so the wings don't fall off

My first RC Airplane I ever built folded like that.

I instantly knew the spot I used Balsa Wood when I should have used Ply Wood.

Took an hour to dig that engine out of the dirt.

Looked like the confetti air cannon blew the wing off, rickety plane

That camera guy is a pro, focusing back on the party instead of the falling aircraft, he knows who’s paying him.

In portrait mode, no less.

The gender ist DEATH

[–] nevemsenki@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That plane would have failed sooner or later anyhow. What the hell we the mechanics doing?

[–] ours@lemmy.film 5 points 1 year ago

Looks like a stress failure that was deemed "nah, it'll hold" or missed entirely. Thankfully it didn't fall on people or crash into a building.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Gender reveal parties are stupid, I would not go to one and I would never have one.

[–] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 10 points 1 year ago

Out with the old.

In with the new.

Well at least no wildfires...
