U smislu da je nakaradno adaptirana riječ, ili ciljaš na samu ideju "provjeravanja činjenica"?

Ograda na zidu je desetljećima sastavni dio objekta i obuhvaćena je građevinskom dozvolom. Takvo stanje je zatečeno prilikom kupnje Ville Elite.

Maybe the real robot was the AI we trained along the way!

She committed war crimes in Bosnia. He committed war crimes on Kosovo. Can I make it any more obvious?

Man, who are you kidding? I've seen incel culture in its infancy like a decade ago on 4chan and it has always been extremist.

I don't expect them to do literally anything. Wagner is now dispersed across Belarus, Russia and Africa; those in Belarus and Russia don't have their heavy equipment anymore (taken away after the coup). Their leadership is decapitated, the two most important people in the PMC are dead along with several other higher-ups. The coup from 2 months ago wasn't endorsed by the whole PMC, it's been estimated that Prigo had only around 8k people with him - so today you should expect even fewer to rebel.

The "best" they might be able to achieve is some terrorism. But they're not trained for terrorism, so for them it's probably best to keep their heads low.

OP's gif literally talks about 'world news', that's why I focused on that sub. The division between 'news' (=American news) and 'world news' (=non-American) has been established on reddit probably like a decade ago because American news indeed used to overwhelm the rest; today there's not much of a point to complain or act surprised about this "system", considering that almost everyone is used to it.

I dunno. As a Euro, I think World news (on Lemmy) is more or less fine as it is. The most important events in the world will be covered in English, and the texts will be formed in an appropriate way - as I've said previously it can be difficult to grasp the specific national context for many events, and a good news article will compensate. E. g. if a country has chosen a new president, a foreigner first has to learn if the country has a presidential or parliamentary system, or the info won't be understood properly.

I guess one could pick out the articles in their native language with more context, or add some context themselves?

Apparently Monthu is derived from Ra, the Sun diety, and embodies the Sun's schorching power, eventually becoming a diety of war. So their similarity makes sense. Both of them carry the Sun disk on their heads, and Monthu also carries two feathers. Khonsu on the other hand carries the Moon. And Horus wears the combined crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, as he is the pharaoh's guardian; the symbol of the falcon could represent Horus or the pharaoh, though as far as I could figure out that meaning isn't invoked by the form of the other three dieties.

To dissect the proverbial frog for non-Russian speakers: Dmitry Utkin's last name resembles the Russian word for a duck ('utka').

Mmm, vintage!

Now I'll have to spend half an hour reading about these two dieties that I don't recognise (Monthu and Khonsu).

Good question, though this was my first comment in the chain, I personally wasn't complaining (yet).

To be honest, I've just checked the "Top Day" sorting of /c/[email protected], and the news are all about non-USA topics. So in hindsight I guess OP was just doing the usual "lol self-centred Americans" dunking. It is a fact that American news have pushed out the other countries' news from the default news sub on reddit and here (or more likely the system was just replicated on Lemmy by default during the migration), so it's a sort of folklore reaction... :D
