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.

I'm never going to try this.
Has anyone tried this? I can't imagine the taste is much better than sushi grade yellow tail.
I tried it. It’s fish
Yeah. I figured. Thanks.
It’s no different than white fish sashimi. Except it’s way more expensive.
I've heard it's not the taste. It's a combination of thrill seeking and also even the meat has a bit of ttx apparently and microdosing gives a little tingle or buzz of sorts that is desirable.
Yes, I've heard the same. It's a flavourless, hazardous form of conspicuous consumption. It's one of those things where if someone dies from it, it's really hard to feel sad for them.
I dunno. If prepared by a properly trained chef illness or death from fugu is very very rare. It's not super high on the risk taking behavior scale. As someone that has a high risk 'appetite' I find myself drawn to things like new drugs or the challenge of exceptionally spicy foods I know I won't find conventionallly pleasurable. I get that most would call these behaviors simply stupid, but I guess I can empathesize a little for others that have a loud Id in their psyche.
If you want to take crazy (or mild) risks that's your prerogative, but a skydiving jump costs around the same, and has nice scenery instead of tasteless white goo.
Definitely not for me. Thanks for the info.
I've had it. I didn't go out of my way for it--it was served to me as something special.
It doesn't taste like much. It's not bad by any means, but not very flavorful.
So worse than like yellow tail.
Yeah, I figured it.
I wouldn't say that. Sometimes a mild flavor is nice. And yellowtail is not special.
