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. 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 10/19
-
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.

It's tough to see stuff like this and not think that we are helplessly doomed.
All the flooding... water temps over 100...
And crude oil is like $90 a barrel.
It gets easier to process the more you accept that we are bound for civilizational collapse, due to runaway climate catastrophes.
I figure we've got about 10 years of relative normalcy left. After that I feel like the world will be so unstable, famine, wars, mass migration, natural disasters etc. will just cripple humanity
Depending on what one means by normalcy, we have already started to deviate from it. With it mostly being felt economically, at the moment.
Yeah that's why I said relative normalcy. Just like, most people are still going to work every day, grocery stores still have decent stock, regular services and infrastructure is still maintained, etc etc
I used to like going out in summer mid-day. Now I usually prefer to stay indoors. It's only the few morning hours when I can stand the temperature. But 30°C at 65% air moisture und no shade or water to bathe to be found... No thank you.
It gets easier to process when you remember you can always just fucking kill yourself when society starts to collapse. So, sit back...have some fun, and remember where the exits are.
Orrr…
Kill the rich arseholes responsible and use their corpses to fertilise the ground so that we can grow some trees .
For a Klingons, that was the plan all along.
I see you’re a fellow romantic.
I wait till the third date to ask for feet pics
Being a gen z anti-capitalist is wanting a revolution for workers rights and to stop the ongoing mass extinction.
Anticapitalist action is environmental action.
I heard some heavy machinery magnate saying it's all a ruse you should come experience the winter they just had in North Dakota...
That's been a refrain among the great plains dwellers since I was a kid and the term "global warming" was first ideated. Every winter, some chucklefuck would "lol, I'd like some of that global warmin' right about now!"
And they still do it, while complaining about persistent summer drought diminishing crop yields, bitching about government "handouts", and being the biggest recipients of them in the form of farm subsidies to produce corn that gets shoved into high-fructose corn syrup and spiking morbid obesity across the entire country.
