    Not to be nit picky but point blank is “within lethal range”. If it can kill you it is within point blank range. You could be half a mile away and still be within point blank range.

      According to Oxford Dictionary (via Google), point blank means “very close”. This would be the layman’s definition.

      The official definition (per Wikipedia) is close enough to not have to compensate for the effects of gravity on the bullet when aiming.

      So no, it’s not “within lethal range”.

    Bruh. Slow down with the posting. You’re overwhelming the feed and providing Lemmy users a terrible experience.

      Please explain, how does posting content provide a “terrible experience”?

        You have to space them out or post them to different (relevant) places or it just becomes spam at some point.

          (relevant)

          This is World News, yes? Sometimes there’s a lot of news about a topic… 🤷‍♂️ People dying and being ethnically cleansed and children being bombed to smithereens and y’all are like “😢 there’s ten posts on this sub from a single user and I won’t have it ☹️☹️☹️”

          Fuck’s sake, guys.

        If you’re subscribed to this community, the hot sort was overwhelmed by your posts. Of all the communities I’m subscribed to, I was only seeing pages of your posts.

          You have me confused with OP.

          But either way, that doesn’t have to be a bad thing? It’s temporary, right? Doesn’t happen everyday, does it?

          Even if it does, they are posting relevant world news, which is the topic of the sub… I seriously don’t see the problem. Would it have been okay if it were from different users? Would it then just have been considered “high activity” and a positive thing? I just, do not get it.
