World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.

Fun fact: 52 degrees Celsius for 3 hours makes a great medium rare steak in a sous vide cooker.
Jesus. Anything over 20c is too much for me. I can't even fathom what 50c feels like and I hope I never have to experience that.
Man, you really like your steak rare.
Edit: Does this show as a gif for anyone else? I'm using sync and that just shows a static picture unless I click on it.
It's a .webm. Paused video for me.
Huh interesting, it shows up as a gif when I send it as a text, guess I'll have to upload gifs to a 3rd party website next time.
My bad.
On mobile a month later it's moving lol.
Comes through as a gif for me on Voyager app fwiw
Show as a non functional play button for me. Voyager on iOS.
A webm video on firefox.
Voyager client on Android, autoplayed the autorepeating gif for me.
Paused (but playable) video on Connect for Lemmy.
I have to click on when using Boost for Lemmy. Otherwise it looks like a broken font.
20 is my good spot too, like 24 and I'm dying. We had a heat wave in BC, Canada last couple of yeara and it hit 38-40 most days during the 2 weeks. The amount of sweating and fatique were exhausting. 52 would have killed me.
We adapt. Whenever I have my relatives from Brazil visiting, they’re always wearing coats indoors while I’m wearing short sleeves and shorts. A few years ago, I endured 40-45 C summers.
Pretty sure that this is close to unlivable.
The world will adapt.
Especially when it's rid of the pesky parasites running around and ruining everything.
Us.
Oh I meant from 20-25C to 40-45. 52C is indeed close to unlivable. And yeah, we’re fucked.
Gotcha. Yeah, there's a lot of concern over refugees migrating now. Wait a summer or two with these types of temperatures, and countries won't be able to build fences high enough.
+20 is too cold for me personally, I prefer +25 to +30. And I'm originally from Northern parts of Europe.
