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.

There's a car I think is abandoned on the way to work. Three months, three dicks. Couple big veiny beasts taking up a third of the hood.
Airport operator Finavia told Yle that Vantaa's parking enforcement will eventually tow away vehicles that appear to have been abandoned. If left unclaimed, the ownership of these cars will eventually transfer to the city of Vantaa, where the airport is located.
Pfft. Sounds like free cars to me.
Would have been nice if they had left the keys...I think I would have considered it if I knew I wasn't coming back. But those all look like they were driven by the rich.
Hopefully the local authority do something interesting with them when they get ownership. Donating Ukraine for example. I'd imagine that even if they are too difficult to get keys for they, the more common/utilitarian vehicles can break for important spares.
That said, I'm sure then cars pictured are likely indicative of the whole range that has been left,, so probably not.
This is the lock picking lawyer, on the scene in Helsinki. Here's some tips on how to open an abandoned car, and switch out the ignition switch.....
Those aren't Kia/Hyundai, so the immobilizer in those cars would prevent ignition.
Kia and Hyundai also have immobilizers in Europe as I believe they are mandatory.
Wait, are you saying that regulation helps consumers? That’s fucking wild bro
Immobilisers have been mandatory in all new cars sold in Germany since 1 January 1998, in the United Kingdom since 1 October 1998, in Finland since 1998
If I were a tow truck operator in Helsinki, I'd be seriously considering just grabbing those cars.
Scrap them, make ammo, give it to Ukraine
I'll take the Mercedes if nobody wants it.
It's okay. I'll take that x7.
Not because I like them, or even see the point with SUVs.
But it'll be nice to sit in the oppulence for a couple of minutes before I sell it.
I do.
Why are they abandoned there? How did it happen? Is it because of the one way travel from Russia?
I would guess the general behaviour pattern is something like the following:
- Drive out of Russia
- Fly the fuck away
- Never come back
And, if you're an oligarch:
4. Stay away from windows
Russian oligarchs use Linux
stay away from high Linux too. putin never sleeps.
- avoid tall buildings
