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 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
