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.

Good. Suffer, you utter shitgibbon. I want you to be as terrified as everyone else who you had to 'involve' yourself with was.
Bet you're sweating now, fuck face.
I have never heard the insult 'shitgibbon' before, but i love it
It's in the same vein as douchecanoe but rarer. Rarer than a cockwomble or fucknugget but not as rare as a wankpuffin.
Ah, the ever elusive wankpuffin.
My wankpuffin also keeps disappearing. Maybe he doesn't enjoy as much as I.
Have you tried a spankswallow? Much better and less likely to flee
What is the speed of an unlaiden spankswallow?
The airspeed velocity of an unladen spankswallow depends on the skill of the spank and the proximity of the swallow, but on average? 42
Please do not the puffin
Big fan of douchecanoe. Been using it for many years.
I once dropped ‘douchecanoe’ in a convo with my manager in reference to someone we both knew outside of the company, without thinking. She gave me one of those “hol’ up - what did you just say?” reactions. New to her, she was amused.
You are now the second person besides myself that I've ever encountered using it. I have to wonder if it wasn't used in a somewhat obscure book or movie or something that introduced it to a few of us who have been disseminating it ever since.
Utter hoofwanking bunglecunts.
