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.

Point me to where these people are saying BEVs will single-handedly end climate change, like you alleged.
Cute strawman. Nobody is going to say those exact words this isn't a magic spell and without those words I'm wrong you fuckin idiot.
The only thing EVs do is prolong a car industry. These dopes genuinely believe EVs are the car solution. Don't be stupid
You're being stupid.
The reason why you can't find anybody saying that is because literally nobody thinks it. You were lying when you said people were telling you that. Then you doubled down on the lie.
Moral of the story, don't tell lies, it makes you look like an idiot.
Literally straw man lol fuck out of here with your obtuse bullshit
Zero strawmans from me.
You're the one who said people were saying EVs would single-handedly solve climate change. All I did was refute your strawman bullshit.
Now you're just doing a playground style "...no you are!!!" because you can't come up with anything to defend yourself. Embarrassing.
BEVs are happening and they're better. Cry more.
You're an idiot. You set a make believe easily defensible position, they have to say those exact words or no.
I'm telling you the push back against EVs being bad shows people do not understand this is just a continuation of the same industry that really pushed us here. EVs are not the solution and showed you examples of people being mad at me for saying that.
You're literally brain rotted lmfao you don't know anything you're saying
I never said they have to say those exact words, that's just another strawman you've concocted.
I'm telling you to show me where people have said EVs are a solution to climate change.
I'm still waiting. Maybe you'll show me these comments that totally definitely exist after you're done throwing your toys out of the pram? Oh wait you won't because nobody has ever said it.
Moron.
