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.

No one thinks that. A nuclear attack is generally assumed to cascade counter launches by other regional neighbors, so on, and so forth.
This probably wouldn't happen, as I've even read reports suggesting a conventional response (albeit overwhelming) may be more likely.
No one thinks Iran's nukes would crack a continent.
norimee@lemmy.world and others here think they can, hence why I believe people here are dumb.
That is not my perception of the root comments "blow up half the world" line.
Your perception of reality is optimistic in the face of the amount of stupidity you seem to encounter every day.
You seem to consistently plug your ears with your fingers and sing, and that's not the right way to fix things.
You need to call out stupidity when you see it, stop being scared of people not liking you. This is why your life is slowly crumbling around you.
You're doing a whole lot of assuming. Especially that I wasn't calling out stupidity I'm the first place. 😉
Sounds like you should call out my stupidity harder
Why are you like this
Maybe it's a call for help? Likely there's a psychological reason we can research.
I think you just need a Snickers bar
I've read the root comment a few times and cannot see what you're huffing about. They didn't say anything about the creation of the weapons.
The entire comment revolved around the country's capability of keeping one in functional condition without an accident occurring, as seems to so often happen.
My comment made some edits.
I don't see that norimee's initial comment was edited. I do see that your reply to them has been.
Due to spelling and punctuation.
Based on your other comments, I'm going to wish you well and hope tomorrow you have a better day. Cheers.
Thanks! Same to you.
