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.

Sorry but no. Bullfighting is actually very unpopular in Spain. It's a relic of the past that's kept on life support by conservative politics.
Very happy to hear he has been gored by the bull. Couldn't have happened to a worse person. And this is always the reaction of pretty much everyone I know whenever this happens
Last line:
Really? I think these events could be memorialized as a sort of messed up cultural thing to look back upon, but using such a banal word for it feels pretty odd in its own right
Yeah, people don't often realize the bull is literally being tortured by getting stabbed. Then it's eventually killed. I mean if you're killing animals for food do it as humane as possible, but for a show? No.
Super hot take time: giving the bull a chance to go out swining isn’t that much worse than having it put down ”humanely” in a factory, spending it’s last time in a line that reeks of blood.
The real crime is against entertainment. Who am I supposed do be rooting for here? Apparently not the underdog that’s outnumbered and surrounded by a bunch of dirty spaniards with swords and near zero chance of winning.
Who watches this? Seriously!
I suppose 'many' is a relative term. As a pure number of people I'm sure there are tens of thousands of Spaniards who love the 'sport'. But as a percentage of the population, yeah you're right - the large majority think it's stupid and want it gone.
Of course it's "technically" correct, but I'm a bit tired of Spain being known for bullfighting and people not realizing that it's actually very unpopular here.
Like also tourist shops in Barcelona still sell bullfighting related articles, even if corridas were actually legally banned for many years in Catalonia (ban reversed by the conservative constitutional court years later). It just shows that this shit is still something people think about when thinking of Spain
To a worse person? I can think the president of certain centric community that's very pro-bullfighting and directly responsible for killing thousands of grandpas...
It's just a phrase. For positive stuff you say "couldn't have happened to a better/nicer person" so that's the opposite. I can think of quite few worse people that'd deserve to be gored by a bull
I wasn't aware of that. Thank you for sharing.
