A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Damn! When can we get this kind of justice? In the US they would have given the owner another store, maybe even two.
Don’t be ridiculous! That’s not how the U.S. works.
We would vote him in as a senator and allow him to make labor laws.
Trust me you don't want what South Korea is cooking
What’s the catch?
Mostly squid and mackerel
Her father said two of the three drinks she was accused of “stealing” were about to be thrown out.
Too many places throw out perfectly good food and that should be a crime.
There's an app "too good to go" that lets you buy some discounted food at EOD, and there's probably other similar things out there.
Where I used to work at a supermarket, I made friends with the deli guy and got a lot of food before it was thrown out. Management didn't like it, of course.
Fuck too good to go, it ruined the life of many people. What was previously free food you'd just get by asking for it in shops or by looking in the trash bins is now being charged money for.
I know plenty people who are having a harder time because of this.
I mean, I imagine there's still a window where you can ask for it for free, but you make an interesting point. For many people, it has lowered their cost of food. I'm not sure all of them could have found free food as easily.
People who can afford paying internet on their phone are largely unaffected by what I'm describing.
Also withheld wages from 49 workers. Impressive.

Rich people everywhere: is this sacrificial lamb sufficient?? Can we continue to exploit you all?
