-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

for anyone who doesn’t know, tornado sirens always went off at noon every Wednesday just the test them, y’know, just in case. Very fun
Edit: This is in Iowa for me!
That’s interesting. It was always the first Tuesday of the month at 10am where I grew up. I wonder if different states have different test schedules?
Must depend on the county. I'm from a mid-sized Kentucky city and they test them on Fridays at noon.
Saturday at noon in Ohio.
Same in indiana
Monday at noon, also in Ohio
Same thing happens around here in Georgia, but it's only the first Wednesday every month.
In France, Sirens are also tested the first Wednesday of the month at noon.
Saturdays at noon in OK (unless bad weather, of course)
