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.
-
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.

Sure everyone wants their own personal castle.
I just think people can just have some slightly less nice things, maybe instead of buying a f150 truck get a small utility vehicle, stuff like that.
As somebody who also is on the fuckcars train, how the fuck did you manage to get on that topic in a response to my comment lol
How to tell me you're a dumb american that doesn't know Europe without telling me you're a dumb american that doesn't know Europe.
xD wow you think I'm American, you are extremely cold my friend.
I am a South African who recently ran away to the Netherlands to avoid constant load shedding and rich with sollar panels.
Yeah I believe you are a European. Go ahead and tell us what you think of other groups of people. I would say limit it to the places that your ancestors enslaved but that would be everyone.
Come on man, don't be like that...
You ask me that today that I didn't bring the family oppression map to work....
It is called a globe. Just throw a dart, and if it ends up on a part that isn't water you found it.
You're wrong. My family was so good at enslaving that we even enslaved the ocean. But then we had to hush the Atlantis incident....
Can vouch, my great great grandma used to cook chitlins for El Rocha's ancestors.
Haha so funny. Real laugh riot over here.
Quick question, do you also say that type of stuff to black people who's ancestors sold the slaves to my ancestor for a very economically viable price?
Wow, like it's only Europeans who enslaved people. Your ignorance is entertaining.
Every strawman is ignorant. Easier to knock down aren't they?
You have anything actually intelligent to say? I'm listening.
Not even going to acknowledge that strawman. Why not? You built him, don't you owe him something?
lol
I hope you have a great day. Take care. :)
Thought as much.
How to tell if you are dealing with intellectual honesty kids.
I think you have a big image of how people in rixh countries live. Most people dont live in big houses, most people dont own trucks. Sure the average person has more things than an averga person in a poor country, but the average person is not going to sacrifice their small luxuries, so people from poor countries come to live with them, especially if the people coming dont have studies and are just going to be living frol the government's money.
I bet you are fine with banks doing it.
I'm in no way saying the average person should have to sacrifice anything, the problem is that is exactly what your currently being force to do by the people above you.
Just think of how many people could literally be housed for life with the money spent on Jeffs latest yacht he sailed out of Amsterdam.
Where talking orders of magnitude difference between the average person and the rich never mind those who are desperately trying to escape.
Read about countries social systems. You will learn a thing or two and then you wont speak without knowing
I mean I agree, but apples are red yknow?
And maybe you can let some homeless person sleep under your roof. Solidarity right? Help everyone who has less than you.
What religion are you a member of?
The religion of agnostic.
But like I said in my other reply, have a great day. I'm going to do something productive and pull weeds from the yard and never speak to you again. Take care!
Doubt.
