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.

Bravo
It was like a homing beacon for cops. They were gonna catch her eventually
Homing beacon for the bacon.
"Police said the spoiled doughnuts were "destroyed."" Quote 'destroyed', umm hmm.
" Krispy Kreme reported the incident to the police and reassured customers then that it was "working to replace the 10,000 stolen doughnuts," the BBC reported." Now New South Wales has to consume 2X the donuts just to catch up, cant have corporate taking the loss. Diabetes incoming.
"In September, a very different kind of doughnut truck heist was also caught on camera more than 7,000 miles away: Two bears on an Alaska military base raided a Krispy Kreme doughnut van that was stopped outside a convenience store during its delivery route." Yay Bears!!
I remember when this first was reported, and I wondered what the plan was; I mean what do you do with 10K donuts.
"I mean what do you do with 10k donuts"
If you have to ask, then you haven't been paying attention.
Do.... do you fuck them?
When there's 10k, not alone.
Not with that attitude
Florida vibes
Australia is the Florida of the world
All the fun wacky parts, but without most of the cruel authoritarian shit. Except for being racist towards black people.
From what I've read, it's already moving that way.
I guess you haven't heard of the Murdock news problem over there.
Well aware. Spent a bunch of time over there and my wife lived and worked in Victoria not too long ago.
Still, when it comes to public policy around health care, woman’s rights over their body’s, access to weapons, the transition to renewable energy, etc, they make the US look like Max Max Fury Road.
Technically abortion isn't actually legal in Australia. Technically. And in some places nearly impossible without driving a real long way.
To be fair, lots of stuff is nearly impossible without driving a long way in Australia. That’s just Australia.
Nah, QLD is Australia's Florida, NSW is more like it's Texas.
How many were left tho?
Only half, it was perfectly balanced as all things should be.
Classic cops, only taking cases seriously if it directly affects them.
What a glorious two weeks though.
You don't particularly understand the capitalist system you're rebelling against as a criminal if you steal a rig. Their masters have them on GPS at all times. You'd have to actually make the deliveries if you want to get away with it. But now you have a job.
Police state no donuts were found and they are considering the death penalty
I can destroy 10k doughnuts too. I can also destroy a bathroom toilet in the process.
Can it really be worth spending 20 years in prison to nab a few Krispy Kremes? I never thought they were all that good anyway, kind of sickly sweet if you ask me. I mean I could stealing a truckload of chocolate, maybe - or a truckload of gold bars, but not donuts.
You guys frontin like we haven't all done that as well
i find it quite disturbing that there are bears in the alaskan military
That’s who you want to cuddle in that weather.
i can't believe they could fit that many donuts in a person.
Those things look like circular hotdogs.
If I had an unmarked white van full of sweets I would leave it in a terrible neighborhood and spray paint "free sweets inside for children".
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An Australian woman was charged Thursday with stealing a parked truck filled with 10,000 Krispy Kreme doughnuts — after two weeks on the run.
New South Wales police said the unmarked delivery truck had stopped for fuel on the outskirts of Sydney on Nov. 29 when a 28-year-old woman allegedly hopped inside and made off with the freshly baked booty.
Detectives followed a trail of crumbs to a suburban carpark, where they found the abandoned vehicle more than a week later.
Officers arrested the woman, who was not identified, at St Marys Railway Station, at about 11:00 am on Thursday.
She was charged with "take and drive conveyance without consent of owner, drive motor vehicle during disqualification period and travel or attempt travel without valid ticket," police said.
In September, a very different kind of doughnut truck heist was also caught on camera more than 7,000 miles away: Two bears on an Alaska military base raided a Krispy Kreme doughnut van that was stopped outside a convenience store during its delivery route.
The original article contains 222 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 23%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Fuck, now I'm hungry
I know a place where we can have all the donuts we want.
Let her go, ref
at first I read Krispy Meme doughnuts
And she stole that American garbage they call a donut?
Amazon’s air packing materials have more cake than their raised dough produces, but I like donut glazing, and they slather those little hollow circles.
My donut preference is a warm maple old fashioned from my local mom and pop place, but I’m not gonna lie, if you give me a Krispy Kreme, I’m going to eat that shit.
Donuts are supposed to be light and airy. What, you get mad at whipped cream and soufflés too?
Don't get me wrong, those cake circles that you can get in a bag at the gas station or dunkin are good if you have nothing else around, but nothing beats a fluffy, sweet, melt in your mouth, hot of the line Krispy Kreme (or equivalent non-cake airy style, ykwim) donut.
