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, people who own them like them. I get you have weird thing about Elon but to me it’s a car.
What is my "weird thing" about Elon?
Is it that he thinks that I'm both a fake white person and am oppressing real white people? Because he says that's the actual truth.
It is weird to have a "thing" about someone who thinks that is "the actual truth" about you.
It also has nothing to do with his shitty cars.
Thanks for confirming my point.
Do you own a Tesla? Of course not but you feel the need to tell me about mine. That’s an Elon hater in action.
When you en one then you can tell me about them
I didn't say anything about your Tesla, I didn't even know you owned one.
Dude, Elon hates me.
Because of who my parents and their parents were.
Well don’t invite him over for dinner then. That’ll teach him.
What are you even talking about?
Nothing will "teach" an antisemite.
It still has nothing to do with his shitty cars and I still didn't know you owned one.
But it does reveal what kind of person you are that you casually dismiss Musk's overt bigotry as if it is a "don't invite him to dinner" sort of thing.
It has nothing to do with the cars but haters have to talk about Elon. Tesla employs over 100,000 people. I am not going to disparage them over Elon being a tool.
I can separate the product from the man. It appears you can’t.
I’ve been very pleased with my car. I plan to buy the truck based on my m3 experience. While you want not like them, the people that own them do.
I don't know how many more times I have to say that it has nothing to do with his shitty cars, but you do seem to be ignoring it, so I'll say it again, this time in big letters:
It has nothing to do with his shitty cars.
You must come from immense privilege to see someone as rich and powerful as Elon spew overt bigotry and merely call him 'a tool' as if he couldn't utilize his bigotry and wield actual power with it.
I really don't care.
However, out of curiosity: Do you agree with Elon that Jews are not white? Do you agree with Elon that Jews oppress white people?
enjoy your truck that you’re barred from reselling under threat of being banned from buying any tesla product ever again. stipulations like that are how I KNOW it’s a great product! this koolaid is so fucking good omg
Why would I want to sell it in under a year?
oh no reason
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
oh no reason
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
What is the obsession with you YouTube? You like making billionaires richer from selling data?
Sorry, is the pisspoor excuse for a gotcha really the best you got?
It’s not a gotcha. I don’t watch YouTube.
OK
Maybe you like giving evil companies money. I don’t. Also why would I care what some random YouTube person thinks? lol.
Good job winning this new argument you just started, the fact that you were the only participant shouldn’t inhibit your celebrations even a little bit. Congratulations!
I’m not arguing. I’m explaining why it’s an odd choice to show YouTube to an adult. I’d rather hear your opinion then some moron on YouTube while putting money in evil inc pockets
Dog you’re going off on this fucken tangent that no one is engaging you in. There was a point to this discussion, and then you decided that you wanted to have a hissy fit about youtube. Maybe you did so because you felt you could no longer defend your original position. Maybe your attention span is just that short.
Either way, you refused to play in the same space as everyone else, and I’m not gonna fucken follow you home so you can yell at me about how much you don’t like youtube.
I’m not throwing a hissy fit. I explained to you why I don’t use YouTube. Now you’re once again trying to insult me for god knows what reason because I asked for you to articulate your point rather than using you tube.
I don’t have to defend my position. I have the money. I like it. I’ll buy one if I want. Not sure why you feel the need to attack me and my position.
I judged your position.
I attacked the rapid shifting of topics as you lost steam, and the continued insistence that this course of action had any purpose other than to save face.
But please, go off, king! You’re killin it out here, only giving money only to preferencial billionaires.
I have no need to save face. I’m happy with my purchase. I can afford it. I have no qualms owning a Tesla product. I find it odd so many people need to tell me I’m unhappy with my purchase. I’m extremely happy. Best car I’ve ever purchased. I I get you want an echo chamber where everyone says boo to the same beat but I have good faith discussions about topics. I’m not a fan of Elon but I’m a fan of the product. If you don’t like Tesla, don’t buy one.
Never told you how to feel babe, I think it’s stupid so I called it stupid. You’re not obligated to agree with me, and I wouldn’t demand that you do.
You’re being real defensive and dodgey when you could just say “fuck off” and move on! My opinion of what you do with your money doesn’t matter, I’m just some snarky fuck on the internet.
I am not the least bit defense or dodgy. I just find the obsession with Elon odd.
Please remain civil.
Is it really a weird thing?
Yes. If you can’t separate a man from a product then it’s weird. If you obsess over his wealth it’s weird. Liking a car says nothing about Elon. I believe in the environment and it’s the best electric car on the market.
Hating a billionaire for causing the world to be a worse place is not "obsessing over wealth". That's quite literally just bootlicker rhetoric to shield the billionaire class. Fuck all billionaires, but especially Musk.
There are so many better options out there that don't encourage the board to keep a racist, sexist, rightwing nut job in charge. It's not 2018 anymore, I encourage you to take a look at other options.
The last uber I was in was a Tesla (a Model Y) and it felt like the door was going to come off when I closed it. Not to mention the lack of buttons and the fact that you have to turn your body 45° and look down to see your current speed. Is that really the "best electric car on the market"? I really don't think you'd be saying that if you were actually willing to explore the market and leave the walled garden.
Thanks. I’ll stick my Tesla I’ve tried other electric cars and they are not comparable at all.
Yeah, I doubt that, seeing the rest of your comments here and seeing your post history. Maybe in 2018?
Anyway, sure, keep supporting a racist, sexist, rightwing man child. Even if they were "the best electric cars" on the market (they really aren't), I would avoid them just because of Musk. I wouldn't be able to publicly display the fact that I gave my money to a blood emerald mine owner's racist, sexist nepo baby.
I hope your ignorance never wanes so that you can continue to live in your fantasy land. 🙏
I’m fine giving my money to Tesla and helping employ 100,000 people in green technology.
Sorry you are obsessed with Elon.
