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.

weren't those volvo diesels better in many ways? or have i got it backwards? yay for the fossil fuel industry in confusing me, so fuck you shell.
ahem, fuck you: BP.
does anyone even know the names of these shits in order to condemn them
Yeah doesn’t help that half the diesels are trucks where their owners love rolling coal 🙄
there's a lot of energy out there about diesel motors ya ya, and I have a CDL to drive all that crap, also my cat yells with enough decibels to rival a cement mixer, not impressed
Learn to write a coherent comment, not impressed.
Better in what ways? I think they are a bit more efficient, but emit more particulates.
I believe that they emit less CO2 compared to gasoline powered cars, but a lot more nitrates, which are carcinogenic.
and acidic and eutrophic nutrients...
The efficency of diesel engines gets lowered when using proper particulare filters, catalysts and NOx resorption with uric acid. So at best the CO2 benefits are marginal.
In Europe, diesel is usually cheaper and burns slower, so it saves money.
"Burns slower"? Are you talking about the engine rpm or cetane value? Neither really has anything to do with cost per unit.
Generally diesels are more efficient and reliable to their gas counterparts and the better low end torque makes them better for hauling loads. Also better at engine breaking when combined with a manual transmission, so very suitable for mountainous European countries.
I'm no scientist. A full tank tends to go farther on a diesel model than a gasoline one 🤷
There's more energy per unit in diesel compared to gas and compression ignition burns more efficiently then spark ignition.
yeah, that was my question.
