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.

Honestly, most people in the modern West eat more meat than is healthy anyway.
Turns out hunter-gatherers haven't evolved to eat meat every meal, three meals a day, all their lives.
You guys eating meat for breakfast or something?
Sausage, bacon, or ham are fairly standard
I don't know why, but I was picturing meat in cereal. Bacon is life
No one is stopping you from putting bacon in your cereal.
Bdya-bdya-bdya-That's gross folks!
Cereal is more of a dessert in my books. I'm very much a savoury breakfast person.
Breakfast steak is the most important steak of the day
That and bread, yes.
You guys eating breakfast?
I'm Latino and I've gone vegetarian, and to my father this is completely inconceivable. He's used to having meat every meal, and is convinced that I'm going to fall ill if I don't eat meat. I eat so many damn beans anyways that I'm good without it.
This whole eating meat every day, thing, seems pretty new right? Like industrial revolution forward. Most people in history weren't expecting meat all the time
Only because they couldn't afford it...lol
Protein has always been the most desirable and most expensive part of any meal.
The fact that Americans eat so much meat is a testament to wealth not simply bad eating behavior.
That's because the general population tried to imitate the rich when the standard of living increased, and the rich in general loved to hunt and eat lots of meat.
I am not biting into a mouthwatering slab of beef to imitate the rich.
You missed the part in the comment about how it was your ancestors that started the trend.
I didn't, I disregarded it. Tell me the name of a MY ancestor who started that trend and where they were born.
What a strange assertion to make as if you and your predecessors somehow remained separate from everyone else.
Waiting for the name.
No, you are making a low effort attempt at a troll and not really hitting the mark.
Another claim about me.
No, you’ve shown that on your own and you can’t sov cit your way out of it.
Exactly. You should really be eating a lot of roots, nuts, leaves, and berries then occasionally catch something that can run from you.
I'm a vegetarian but my wife calls me an opportunistic meat eater, like a horse. I don't eat meat, except when it's Christmas and my mom makes her turkey, or the one time a year I allow myself to have a big Mac.
I don't think my system could handle a steak, or pork anymore, it would probably destroy me.
Said no one ever before 1900.
You people are so goddamn spoiled and you have no clue.
Eating meat is the only way our species has survived and now that we've evolved past it you act like it was never even a factor.
There's a reason tribes move with animal herds and not due to which berries are in season.
Yes yes, fire and meat. That works fine when you’re a roving tribe and humans number in the hundred thousand range. That destroys the planet when you live in houses and there will be 10 billion by the year 2050. But go on.
to be fair they only had to work four to six hours a day so they needed less calories
What is considered healthy in your opinion?
As someone who lost 40kg by just eating mostly meat (one year meat for lunch, salami for dinner), I'd argue it's healthier than the stuff that's advertised to be healthy.
wanna build muscle? well, eating pasta and salad every day won't get you very far.
Sure, there are other protein sources, but let's be honest, nothing is more nutritional, efficient (and delicious) than meat.
I think we should really focus on the truely unhealthy shit that's out there in the supermarkets, and not on meat.
You should study up on that vegan body builder, though I'm afraid that I don't recall his name. Remember that when you digest the meat, you are reducing back to its amino acids which your body can put back together into new proteins. The same thing happens when you digest plant matter--you reduce the plant proteins into amino acids which your body then puts back together into its own proteins.
While I'm sure it's possible, the fact that it's "that vegan body builder" instead of the norm should be a clue on how generally effective it is. Personally I don't eat a lot of meat, and of the meat I do eat, most is seafood, but I won't deny that meat is the easiest way to get the nutrients you need. It's also a lot more filling than carbs.
I was actually confused because there’s thousands of vegan body builders
There's one dude who made a big youtube channel on the topic. Don't know if he's still around. His whole shtick was helping obese people get into shape by teaching them his diet and workout routines.
Sure, but there's the thing called PDCAAS, kind of a digestibility index for protein sources. in other words, how much of that protein can the body actually digest, the rest of it just gets pooped out.
And many plant based sources have a lower score, with a few exceptions.
Then, there's the cost factor too, best bang for the buck.
Visit non-India Asia and get back to me. I don't know how anyone can be vegetarian there just as a general practice.
Isn't 90% of street food in Asia just some random meat on a stick?
In my experience yes. I can't describe the joy of the experience of being baked out of your mind buying way too much meat on a stick, going a stand over to get a thing of sticky rice in a bag, then the next stand a bubble tea, and finally devouring it on a random folding chair with a crate as a table.
