A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Good. Thousands of athletes, in peak physical shape, in the prime of their lives... They're gonna fuck like rabbits regardless of condom availability. Better to ensure it's as safe as possible.
And now for the dismount...
What a spectacular flip!
**judges issue a deduction for dismounting early...
After visiting that site, it feels like i should have used a condom... what a dump of a cookie tracking hell that was!
Here I was, thinking that this had to be at least in part a publicity stunt thing (no way they need 300 000 condoms), and reading that the Tokyo games needed to buy 20 000 extra when the first 70 000 started running out.
The Olympic Village is packed with young, attractive athletes in peak physical shape. They are notorious fuckfests.
Personally though, I say: ban condoms. Let’s see what freakishly fit and capable superhuman Olympic babies we can get out of it. There’s bound to be some future potential gold medallists that end up in a condom…
So what you're saying is that if there was ever a failure of the product in about 19 years I could raise an army of superhumans?
The condoms have also become a popular souvenir from the athlete's village, especially in recent years. Many athletes take the condoms specifically to give to family and friends back home, if they personally aren't planning on having sex while there. To be fair, they are basically a perfect souvenir because they are small and lightweight, inexpensive, and something you can't get anywhere else, as they are often printed with unique packaging for the games.
Which Olympic did they tried to use paper (cardboard) bed to stop athletes from having sex? Did it work out?
They used cardboard because it's cheaper.
If I recall correctly the manufacturer actually made a statement ensuring that they are suitable for SEX because it's essential for athletes in the games.
I didn't know they were made from cardboard, but Tokyo actively tried to stop them by making beds that would collapse with two persons on it... I guess thats the same case.
Anyway, we are talking about the most athletic persons in the world, in the very appex of their biological cycle on earth. I would bet on that it made things slightly worst*
Holly Moses that is a lot! Non-athletes should be ok with maybe just a handfull! Must be a sponsor thing
/s btw
Balloon party!!
