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 not defending anyone here, but Iran has made it very clear they want to use one
Literally no? Where did you get that from? There is no country (other than the US, 80 years ago) who have made it clear they want to use one
North Korea enters the chat
I left Korea recently after living there for 3 years. Idk what Fox News and CNN have going on, but no, North Korea is not threatening to nuke anyone. They use nukes as a "don't invade me", same as every other country
이 답은 좀 답답해.. 난 대한민국에서 살았고 친구들이 군대 갔어 근데 너는 이유 없이 나의 말을 무시해.
Why even bother reading things written by individual people who have experience in the region if you're going to dismiss what they share?
I've had to share this before but since I guess you don't believe me, here's my residency card
Cool. Now send a face pic holding up 3 fingers.
You got me. I photoshopped the whole thing, and made a fake Lemmy account where I talked about living in Korea for years to troll people. I'm actually Chinese and used Google Translate in my above message.
(Is this the "whataboutism" response you were looking for?)
Did you really give up?
What's your backup plan when you realize I'm not lying?
Here's where I blog about random stuff. You think I started this lie 7 months ago too? https://lemmy.ml/post/22516232
Well, that’s not whataboutism.
All you did was send a photo that could be anyone.
See, watch:
Here is me.
Shutup vaush.
I don’t even know what that means, parlor pink.
Too advanced for Eglin chairforce base tactical cheeto eaters.
Ok vaush. Hope the new ozempic shipment reaches the base within schedule because cholesterol and desk jobs is more lethal than conventional combat.
Does the chairforce have advanced technologies to prevent oiling up keyboards with cheeto dust? I hear it causes PTSD in servicemen.
Look who had the language issues all along. They really hire the absolute bottom of the barrel don't they?
More language issues, keyboard combat related stroke imminent. No great mind will be lost though.
I’m glad to see you’re having fun. I am unaffected. Have a good night.
Shift over?
