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.

Very creative name calling. I'm certain that gets you very far in life. Also, even if UBI was implemented, I live in one the single most expensive cities in the world so UBI still wouldn't fix our issues. And I didn't claim it would. I believe its a worthwhile shot, and there's some interesting progressions happening, if you would only spend 2 seconds of your time to look at them and decide for yourself if theyre viable or not.
Also, when you're "laughing your ass off" at people being unable to afford bread, why bother adding the conditional that UBI has to be in for that to be a thing? You can start laughing right this very second at all the people that can't afford bread, without UBI! It matches your vibe almost 1-to-1.
You DESERVE being laughed at for voting for politicians that are dumb enough to think this might work. Just like Califrona has become a shithole and they deserve all their problems, and same for Newyork. You deserve to suffer, live in dirty allies, step on shit, be stepped on by police, and be treated like cattle, and more. You deserve every bit of it.
I do hope UBI gets implemented. I promise, you'll become the laughing stock you deserve to be, even more. I learned not to care about your kind. I learned to only laugh. Enjoy your leftist dystopia, while I enjoy freedom and wealth from hard work.
So, you just plain stupid or only illiterate? I didn't say I voted for ANYONE, much less politicians specifically working with UBI. The only laughing stock around for miles so far is you, from what I can tell.
I'm sure I could go on and on and on and on and on and on about how I didn't say any of the shit you claim I did, but it's pretty evident you would be none the wiser even if. You make a pretty good case for free healthcare though, I don't need to be a US doctor to see how expensive your mental health coverage would be.
Of course you didn't vote for anyone... of course none of this is "your fault"... don't also forget to remind us of that when UBI is implemented and everything falls apart while the rich get even richer and the poor get poorer and inflation is sky-high. And never forget the classic "it wasn't done right" afterwards to justify more destruction, after whoever implements your shitty socialistic UBI destroys whatever city that becomes California/Newyork 2.0.
I do hope you get what you wish for, and never forget. Never. I'll be over here laughing at all your failures, you dumbass ignorant brainwashed plebs.
I'm committed to witnessing you be a trainwreck, keep going on about how I'm the one to blame in this fictional world you have manifested yourself into. Please. It's just oh so hilarious to watch you argue with yourself. Spiral further! Spiral more spirally! It'll be fun trust me 😉
Nice try, kid. Blablabla. When you cry and fail, I'll laugh. Remember that.
Buddy you wish anything you said was memorable. Everything out of your mouth is spite and hatred. I have no spare memory for any of that other than my own.
I know. You barely can remember basic school math... leave alone complex macro economics or someone laughing at you for your dumb ideas of "WhY dOn'T Za RiCh gIvE zA pOor moonies", while drooling. Understandable.
Hahahahahahaha you think anything you've said requires any amount of thought to interact with 🤣 you crack me the fuck up.
