Why link to Reddit? Just give credit to the original source and be done.

You gotta get schwifty in here
Gotta train them kids to become familiar with prison environments. There’s a whole industry waiting for them.
This started happening in my high school a few years ago, Everyone seems to think that they did it to make it easier to catch people doing weed by closing half of the bathrooms at any given time. It’s super annoying because the bathroom closest to my classes are always the ones to be locked for some reason so I have to walk across the entire school (the school is really big) to get to an open bathroom and when I do get there it’s usually so dirty and crowded that it’s almost unusable.
If thats the case I think someone needs to call the fire marshal. No way I’d feel safe in a building which could lock me in like that.
not escaping to a bathroom and not escaping the building are two different things entirely
Most bathrooms in schools have no windows. Mistakes happen people get locked in!
oh right. But normal doors of rooms / lecture halls get locked too, if unused, at certain schools/universities
Most lecture halls don’t usually lock you in though. This gate appears to require a key both directions.
What is even the point of this?
This is almost certainly because of the social media trend to destroy public bathrooms. Not “teehee I pulled out a lot of toilet paper” but “I body slammed the air dryer until it broke off.”
Remember the end of Titanic, when the crew needs to keep the poor folks away from the life rafts?
That didn’t really happen tho.
The problem with 3rd class passenger not getting to the lifeboats was that the boat deck was accessible to I class, II class and ships crew. The III class folks were completely unfamiliar with that part of the ship (and parts leading to boat deck - the whole superstructure). At first some officers were mentioned to have enforced class segregation between areas but that was also a time when people went back to their cabins because “this ship is unsinkable, nothing bad will happen”. When it became clear the ship is doomed the III class did reach the boat deck but already most life boats were launched.
Without reading the post, to deter vandals and mystery poopers.
Someone’s just gonna pee across the gate into the floor of the bathroom lol
Fill up a dollar store water gun with pee. Blast that stream as far as it’ll go
It’s the first thing that’s gonna happen.
Get them ready for prison in advance
That’s when you familiarize yourself with the locations of the teachers’ lounges / bathrooms. When the need strikes you march in like you own the place and declare that they can either let you piss in the toilet or you’re going on their crappy industrial couch with its 1970s cigarette burns.
Welcome to prison. Enjoy your stay.
Why link to reddit?
might as well steal some bandwidth
Whilst Lemmy is growing and trying to compete in content against the goliath that is reddit it needs to be reposted so to speak. I’m not about taking original or potentially original posts and claiming them as my own so it’s good practice to source the location of the original.
We are competing with a platform that has existed since 2005, it’s no easy task. You may find posts that are original posts. Just again best practice. Source the original.
Wait, so we’re just reposting reddit posts on here? I’m not sure I understand the point of that.
To get people you need content and to get content you need people. Work takes priority over scouring my local town for unique content. Shit just doesn’t work like that
I have produced plenty of OP here too as well as reposts. This is just the nature of the internet nowadays, if they aren’t entertained they leave
Just credit the reddit user, that’s all you need. If anyone really cares they can go to reddit and look at their profile. That way you can still give credit where credit is due, and not increase reddit foot traffic.
In fairness, I have just been doing this when mildly infuriating was born (5 days ago) and I want to ensure I am doing enough in terms of respecting the original poster. It is a good suggestion though.
I guess a template of “Repost from [username] on [insert website]” would do fine." Good comment!
Just wanted to say that I appreciate you trying to give credit in the best way you can think of.
I like how so far it seems people here are less aggressive and more willing to work together towards a goal that satisfies both parties rather than have a big dick swinging contest and get nowhere. Good job Lemmy.
I only participate in little dick swinging contests, because I can win those
I can’t. :(
A lot of people suggesting to pee in the gate lol,
i swear, schools will do everything they can to stop you from taking a piss when you need
Oh I’m sure the students will find another use for that drinking fountain.
I’d just piss on the gate or something, make them rethink that decision
This link/post is mildly infuriating
Let me guess: Freedom Country?
What’s it do? Test your DNA to make sure you only use the “correct” bathroom?
My social-anxiety-causing-diarrhea -ass would hate this so much
