A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Heat waves and stupid tourists do not mix well, apparently.
Whatever happened to the buddy system?
The buddy system is flawed and fascist. If your buddy walks off a cliff do you go with them? By the rules of the buddy system you do. If your buddy commits genocide do you go along with it? The buddy system says yes. And what about a double homicide? If both buddies die in the woods and no other buddies are there to witness it was there a crime?
Wait, you're saying I didn't have to commit that genocide?
NO! If you or someone you know suffered irreparable harm thanks to the so called "buddy system" call AdamEatsAss today. A class action lawsuit is being filed against the deep buddy state cabal and we need more victims to step forward. If your buddy forced you to smuggle illegal goods inside your body, call us. If your buddy forced you to overthrow a democratically elected government in the developing world, call us. If your buddy forced you to act on a plan to steal the moon using a shrink ray, call us. We will not stop fighting until the buddy system is no more.
This sure goes deep! Thank you for spreading the word.
That's not all Adam spreads
An example for us all
Yeah, but it was a lot of fun, remember when we made them reenact the entirety of the Abyss in Klingon?
Sorry, all I remember is the rivers of blood. And do you know how much blood it takes to fill a river? I was squeezing it out of corpses for days.
Why didn't you use the blood drainer 5000? We had like 10 of them!
What do you think I am, made of genocide money?
Wait you're not made of genocide money?
Ohhh, shit, hmmm, I got a few things I gotta send back then.
Kids these days! Back in my day we stacked the corpses high enough to have gravity squeeze the juices out!
That escalated quickly ^^
My internet sleuth skills are a little rusty, but I'm pretty sure this headline is implying that the tourist killed a doctor, and is now missing.
Shitrag news source is indeed implying this. It's a totally different island. The state of news today.
Must've found the Gorgons.
AFAIK there is a bad heat wave going on in Greece at the moment. Hikers "vanishing" due to being underprepared is no miracle at all.
