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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

The 5mm x 2mm magnets had attached and aligned in 4 distinct rows, in different areas of the intestines, and the rows had attached to each other between the different areas of the intestines, causing some intestinal necrosis which had to be removed as well.
I'm pretty sure they weren't magnets within toys, but rather just the plain magnets by themselves. Neodymium magnets no less, the powerful modern ones.
Kinda helps to read the article yo, but yeah the kid did a real dumdum there, almost like they were looking for the most excruciating Darwin Award.
You're right. Let me see if there is a magnet toy that is similar, but more disc like. Also, they're magnets that are toys. Not magnets within toys.
Found it:
Ah, yeah I get what you mean by toys, yeah they can definitely be fun to play with, responsibly though!
The kid is lucky to be alive, but they just had to learn an obvious lesson the hard way huh? 🤦
Nah, dog. They should be banned in toy form. I'm not the other guy. They should be used for educational purposes in controlled environments or for industrial use, not around young children or I guess, teens now.
Meh, I was playing with magnets in kindergarten. Supervised of course though, both at home and in school, but even if I wasn't supervised, I never felt the urge to eat them (or eat Lego or other random non-edible stuff for that matter).
Magnets are a strange wonder that tends to perk our natural human curiosity. While I totally agree that kids shouldn't handle magnets unsupervised, still the kid was 13?! I'll never understand it, but there is the condition called Pica, basically the urge to eat random non-food items...
I have no idea really, but bigger questions come to mind, like does the kid already have a history of eating stupid things, why did they eat so many, how did the kid order them from Temu, did the parent(s) approve the order, how did they get into New Zealand where they're apparently banned...?
🤷
At least the kid is still alive. 👍
