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.

Blaming all the people in a nation on the acts of a runaway government is ignorance on display. Just like how all of the Russian citizens don’t support Putin, just like all of Germany didn’t support hitler.
People nowadays seem to have very little time for nuanced thought, and it’s just easier to all-or-nothing a situation because thinking can be hard sometimes.
I’m with ya.
Bro, every time I try to mention nuance on the internet, I'm immediately the bad guy.
Like I'm autistic as fuck, so I can be pretty rigid in the way I think, so I get, like, why people can be that way.
But like on the internet its like half of everyone is just borderline personality about everything. Like it's fun to split people or some shit. Which hurts me to say, because BPD is... complex shit itself.
High highs become the lowest of lows. Bpd ain't no joke. One day, you'll wake up after dreaming about pulling glass shards from your feet and just suddenly be too tired to ramp up. It's not a great feeling, but it's much easier maybe. Then you just use whatever energy you have left to try. Because you have to. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it isn't. You won't have those soaring moments of clarity and hope, or the valley of despair. It'll just be questions and trying, so learn how to remember or make something that reminds you that you once had the other sides.
The middle isn't pretty, but it works. Or not. I recommend occasionally feeding the beast when you reach the middle.
Same. And while my ASD can also make me pretty rigid, I also know that the world we live in exists almost entirely within the grey area that lies between the polarizing black and white that everyone cannot see past.
And what bothers me the most about it is how rapidly it seems to be getting worse.
I had high hopes that nuance would be easier to maintain on Lemmy for years. But... no.
If I was a secret world ruling oligarch i’d want nations against each other
otherwise they might notice me and all my bunkers
Just wait 'till they dash down into their holes like the vermin that they are, only to find out many of us bribed the staff not to tell them about the toilets we upperdecked and the 200000000000 pillows we be-farted and left mints upon.
Pink eye for eternity
Imagine this if you will:
An entire society of elites, forced underground only to find out the Virtual Reality they invested in can't be seen due to permanent pink eye.
A mole-like parasitic society haunted by ghosts stolen, trained upon the very things that hated them the most.
An artificial intelligence that would continue to exist because they couldn't make new sequels to GTA without it.
A ghost.
All of this, beloved readers...would grow to haunt them like screams in the darkness.
I have empathy, but I'm not perfect. I've said fuck Ruzzia & fuck Israel myself. It's hard not to, when you see what's happening...but we only see what they want us to see these days, in many ways. They only allow us to feel what we do because it plays into some sick narrative .. I've seen entire countries, cultures & religions blamed for injustices & atrocities, and now this burden has come back to haunt those who used it as a weapon. The people are simply hostages in an agenda that would drive you insane if you knew the truth of.
Well said.
Thank you. Caring in modern society is like walking through razor-wire.
I think I needed to hear your words today.
I mean it, thank you.
You’re absolutely welcome my friend! We all could use some encouraging words. Now more than ever. And I totally get the reference. It seems at every turn, there’s someone there to tell you you’ve done something wrong, or think something wrong. But remember, while in the hive, you’ve little to do but comply-
Outside the hive, bees are free.
You should see my lawn. It's not much but I have a wild fox that visits. The bees and so many other things are here as well. All free.
I have plenty of love to give and so much to learn. It's really nice to have a genuine human connection, on the Internet, with a complete stranger.
Lurkers, watch and melt with love!
Wish I had a lawn. Apartment living for me, but at least I don’t have to fix appliances or pay for new roofing, so…. There’s that.
And we don’t have a fox, but we have a family of beavers!!
You're almost close enough to pet the beaver.
I rent my lot but own my home, so it's not like I'm fancy but I do have a fox that visits so maybe I am.
The closest thing I've had to a beaver is a gopher. That was fun too.
Beavers are 2nd to humans in changing landscapes. That's an impressive feat. I like beavers. Maybe this dates me but do you remember "Angry Beavers?". I'm imagining that
now.
So, I can't share the video without uploading it to whatever, but I can screenshot the video of the fox. So here's one now. Gods you should hear it yelp before a thunderstorm. Took me months to figure out. Lol
I do remember angry beavers!
I feel so seen.
Pam!
Okay.
I'd do the "did we just become best friends!?" thing, but you'd definitely get that. I'll go deepcut because you have exquisite taste! And refinement.
And because the kids love a good reference...
Antici......... ......... pation!
Who's "The strongest man.... In the WORLD!!!!!?"
The strongest mans in the world?
If you meant the Disney movie, it’s Dexter Riley, played by Kurt Rueesl! Unless you meant from the other reference you could be implying that it’s Rocky from the god-damned national treasure that is known as The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
"Artie", as played by Toby Huss (you may recognize him from "Halt & Catch Fire") as seen originally through "The Adventures of Pete & Pete", simply one of the greatest shows ever created.
...before that he was in Iowa City playing Artie as a pretty offensive version of that same character at "No Shame Theater" (go figure). They toned down his.. umm. Whatever you wanna call it.
Anyway, I hope you've seen Pete & Pete. If not, I can help.
I have not seen Pete OR Pete. 😂
Seriously though, not familiar with it at all.
Oh snap.
I wouldn't be who I am today without it. Seriously.
It's a 90's Nickelodeon show. Started with a bunch of 2 minute shorts, then became a show full of special memories and the best theme song ever. Someone else will chime in hopefully to back me up
. Trust..
2 seasons on dvd, the 3rd was apparently made but sits in a warehouse (probably not anymore). Merger stuff. Before the most recent merger, in fact. So it's probably now gone. But I have all 3 seasons and can help (3rd season is a rerun tv rip), . Even today they stand up. Especially if you have kids or still have heart. You have heart, you'll love it sooooo much.
I’ll take a look, thanks for the suggestion. 😄
You're so welcome. I'm excited to share! You'll need the high sea or a link, but I'm sure you can find the way. Again, you're welcome. You're gonna want to tell me "thank you" again afterwards, so I'm saying "you're welcome" again, in advance.
We do it all the time. We hate all Russians because of Putin. We hate all Israelis because of Netanyahu. Why wouldn't the world hate all Americans because of Trump?
Human nature.
I'm all for equivocation and nuance, but I must admit it's really hard to get over the fact he was voted in twice. The danger signals were displayed loud and clear, and the US populace went "Yep, after the trial period, this is the guy for us". Forgive me if that put a major dent in my trust in anything American.
I don't hate Russians because of Putin. I don't hate Isrealis because of Netanyahu.
I hate Putin. I hate Netanyahu. I hate Trump. I hate Xi Jinping. I hate Lukenshenko. I hate Kim Jong Un. Dictators.
I do hate people that believe they have superiority over anyone.
You’re a lot more optimistic about humanity than I am.
Fear and religious superiority is why the average Israelite supports Netanyahu. Apathy and a desire for racial superiority is why the average Russian tends to support Putin. Racism, sexism, and a desire to make their mediocre lives matter are why majority of American supported Trump.
Ignorance isn’t human nature.
I disagree. It very much is human nature.
My nature is curiosity & I am incredibly human.
Explain how fire was carried forward?
Did "Urk" walk into a cave whilst on fire and into "Groka's" twignest?
No.
"Urk" stole "Groka" away from "Brantley" because motherfucking "Urk" had flint & steel and knew how to motherfucking use it!
"Brantley" was too busy groaning about how many trips it took him to carry twigs to the twignest.
what in the ever loving fuck are you talking about? All throughout history, anytime humanity has had the chance to do the right thing we’ve done the opposite even now no one global warming and climate change are on the horizon, we have data centers, sucking up water and electricity compound in the greenhouse effect.
We live in a time of prosperity yet the richer adamant about hoarding as much as humanly possible and making things worse for everyone else.
Racism has been proven to be a social construct and not even a real thing yet multiple country still use it as a baseline for economics, relationships, and social liberties.
It’s also been proven that women have a lot to offer and have the right to make up their own decisions and minds yet here we are, still going out of our way to establish patriarchy.
Human nature is evil bro.
Humans are just fancy animals. Evil is simply the opposite of good. Both are available and necessary for us to function as intelligent beings.
Choices are important, just like the choice to write 4.1 paragraphs and end your argument with the word "bro". That was your choice. Not one that I'd usually make, bro.
if you were a female, I’ve ended it with sis. Lol
Call me whatever, just don't call me collect from Jail.
you got a point. Collect calls are expensive as hell.
Now that we have reached civil grounds, I offer you precisely one collect call; should you ever need my assistance
Ive been going about this all wrong. Let's not just dunk Trump in Boston harbor and haul him off to international criminal court. We need the whole gang. And a better form of justice. Fuck prison and fuck capital punishment.
Make them watch us make the world a better place, without them. They can be free, but never again shall they know power.
Facts.
