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.

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.
