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.
-
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 fact that "mommy, what's a ?" future is becoming a reality should be a fucking emberassment for all of us. Yet no one will pause their fish consumption because "it's tasty". The earth is being killed for literal entertainment.
Soon, we will only know their origami forms.

Well, the future sentient insects might also have some human and animal fossils to study.
But muh traditional cuisine.
People are too stupid to realize that what worked for us 50 years ago doesnt anymore because there is almost three times as many of us.
Still, every country out there is promoting breeding and having children. Everyone is trying to save our species from extinction as we’re surpassing 10 billion in numbers.
I thought this story was satire for a second. Now I'm sad 😢
100% accurate - I feel its an unfortunate future we will see during our generation itself
Polar bears have no future with an ice-free arctic.
I stopped eating fish many years ago and mention ecosystem collapse, overfishing a d bycatch to whomever asks me why (or when I feel like it).
The most I think I've done is gotten one friend to reduce their fish consumption.
Humans do not care.
Farmed fish is fine, it's wild catch that's the problem.
This is, sadly, not the case.
I'm sorry this argument is utterly stupid, by this logic we shouldn't grow vegetables either.
This is the kind of quick talking points some PR intern throws together overnight for cheap because his boss needs to pitch against some bill or more likely try to keep the wild quotas high by arguing that their harvest is the actually sustainable model. You need to learn how to read these K-street pitches, or they'll spin you to believing up is down and good is evil.
