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.

Sports where physical strenght and constitution are more important than technique will always be dominated by people with a better genetic pool.
I'm without any doubt "genetically inferior" when compared to Usain Bolt: even if I started training when I was 3 years old, I couldn't even imagine to get nowhere near his level because nature decided to screw up my knees while he was born a fucking sprinting machine.
Sorry darling, suck it up and take the L or change sport.
Jesus, help us. These people's reading comprehension is below acceptable.
That plus the fact that everyone entered this thread with an opinion that is limited to one aspect of the matter, which is fine by the way until you try to derail the conversation towards that specific opinion so that you can pull it out totally out of context like a priest's cock
Good point. Agreed.
Ha! Using it. The Priest's cock, that is 😏
Let's remember that all the athletes that have records in running where found positive to doping. Then Bolt arrives and beat all their times one after the other but he is not using. I bet in 10 years he comes out as positive as well
Well how did she lose her other olympic and IBB matches if her genetics are always the same then???
I'm not talking about that, my whataboutistic friend, I'm talking about this specific episode that's being used as a media case to rage-bait people.
Then we should set testosterone limits for male competitors too if it's always unfair. Or is it only okay when we police women's bodies?
It's always going to be unfair when the game is going to be "how strong am I?" because it will always boil down to genetics. If your body is more suited than mine to shoot punches you are going to win, regardless of sex, gender, ethnicity or age: basically the Olympics are a "Biggest Pumpkin Competition" but with a better advertising campaign.
So all of this rhetoric of "should we test athletes for testosterone" is fucking dumb on both sides.
Give them fucking chainsaws and let them massacre each other for my entertainment.
You're literally talking about whole sports in your first sentence, nothing specific about that...
Yeah I'm sorry, sometimes in sake of brevity you skip some premises thinking an average minded person would be able to put it together on their own
I don't know why you're jumping to insults when trying to have a discussion about this, as that's what Lemmy is for surely, discussions??
Why are you making it about solely her genetics saying that she'll win based on these alone? They've been the same when she's lost several matches as I was pointing out...
You're doing her a massive disservice by dismissing the amount of hours, effort, blood, sweat and tears she's likely dedicated to training, and being rude to this "average minded person" for pointing that out.
You do you though
So you are able to understand the specific content of a generic comment!
Good for you pal! Now go and read my first comment once again because I can tell that you still didn't understand the point I was trying to make back then.
The arrogance shown to assume I don't understand because I disagree with you haaa!
