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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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 was confused by the minors, there were some 16/17yr olds
The link takes me to a page asking me to complete a captcha that never loads.
I'm not sure why you are confused about minors being injured in a nightclub explosion? The guardian article doesn't explain much, and I don't know this place in Perú, but if it's anything like where I grew up in Argentina then you would not be surprised. I'll presume your background must be very different so I'll share what mine was like.
I would go nightclubbing too at that age, not too frequently since I'm not much of a party person. You are not supposed to be let inside if you are underage but the bouncers usually don't care and judge more on appearances (how well dressed you are, how childlike you look) than actual age. You look hot, and older than 15? In. Your dressing doesn't conform to the club standards, irrelevant of age? Bounced. You look 15 years old or younger? You need to show ID, if you are younger than 18 you get bounced.
Also, at least where I lived, nightclubs were allowed to let underaged before midnight, under the condition that no alcohol was sold to them before midnight and also, that they had to purge everyone out by then. To keep the pedos at bay there was an age cutoff, usually 21 but this also varied and the enforcement also varied. So what usually happens is you get all the teens a couple hours from say 9pm till 12, then everyone is ushered out, they swap the DJ (or, if it's the same DJ then the music is completely different), then you proceed to let people in for the rest of the night, which usually ran from midnight to 6 or 7 am when everyone is finally kicked out. Minors are supposed to be bounced if they try to go back in, but, I've already explained.
Not unusual to see teens who got bounced still hanging out right at the door having a drink or smoking, because, you get the picture.
