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.

If it's any consolation, idling nets more wear on your vehicle's drivetrain than just driving it from cold.
True for modern fuel injected engines, although 30 seconds before heavy engine engagement is preferable. In cold weather, hybrid engines do need time to warm up the oil though.
Umm… false. A couple of minutes to warm up the oil and fluids is recommended.
have you actually read your owners manual?
this isn't worth fighting some rando on the internet over. nothing I say I going to change your mind, and that's fine, not my car not my problem.
for others that see these arguments - don't listen to the armchair mechanics online, read your car's fucking manual. typically the goal is to get your car to operating temp as fast as possible, and most modern cars are designed to heat up as fast as possible under motion. heating your car at idle takes forever and spends more time operating with parts not at their optimal tolerance.
but don't just listen to me, read your car's manual.
Dude, nobody cares, shut up.
if you can't read your owners manual there's probably adult education classes in your area
Dude, nobody cares, shut up.
Chef’s kiss
😂 it was too easy
hey, I'm being more of an asshole because you're being an asshole, and I thought it'd be funny to reply to you saying nobody cares because it seems like you care
does your manual say to drive "extremely slow" or does it say to keep the RPMs down and go easy on the throttle for a few minutes? because those are very different things and I'd give you my rebuttal to your points if you're open to debating without being assholes to eachother
and if not, I'm not dying on this hill
Yeah let’s not be assholes, no need.
It says keep RPM low, but I live in New England, I have to go up a big hill to get to my kids daycare almost immediately after leaving my house, my car is a 4cyl, i can gain speed and keep rpms low, but going up the hill makes it harder. I also don’t so this 100% of the time, only when it’s super freezing and the car is covered in ice and I have to get my kiddo to daycare.
