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.

Looks like Elon Tusk and Trump had a son
A walrus, though?
Elon... Tusk?
https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Elon_Tusk
Elon cameoed in a Rick and Morty episode right before the internet at large found out he was a fascist douchebag (I'm sure plenty knew beforehand, but he kept his mouth shut)
I think it was right before he called that rescue worker a pedophile. Before that, there were reports poor working conditions, but it's hard to tell that early if they were legit or just people who never had a job before.
It’s not hard to tell if a company has poor working conditions because they all do in some way or another.
True, but I've meet people who quit their first job out of college because they felt they weren't being respected, then I found out they never had any job before that. I'm just wondering what sort of privilege they had to manage to never have a job with a boss before graduating college. His life plan was to get a house near a college and rent to students while writing.
Are you sure you're not being dishonest?
"There's so many privileged people in the work force that you can't take worker complaints seriously"
"There is more than one person in the work force that I have met that is like that"
"I once met a guy"
I don't trust singular people complaining on the internet. Have you not seen Yelp reviews?
It became more believable as more people came forward and Musk dropped his mask.
