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.

Climate change must be stopped by any means necessary. Start doing what must be done. You know what that means.
Eat the rich.
It's not enough. We (rich and not so rich) must either consume less, or be less people.
The first route involves changing technologies AND habits. And I'm not talking about recyclable bags or save water at home.
You change habits by making it more expensive to do unsustainable shit. Very few states here in the US are willing to properly tax carbon emissions. Very few Americans are willing to remove the subsidies that the beef industry enjoys which would see steak at $35/lb.
Just saying "consume less" does very little. People respond to incentives. Peoples' wallets are big incentives.
On the other hand, this problem is global. We all need to work together in order to succeed. That's the hardest part.
Recycle harder?
Consume local!
Bring back ice from Mars
I HAVE ALL THE PAPER STAWS* IM DOING MY BEST!!! *now with more cancer microplastics!
I think he means vote or die.
Or eat the rich
Om nom nom
Way ahead of ya burp
That would not fight climate change at all.
It would significantly lower emissions given that the rich produce a hell of a lot more emissions than the average person.
They objectively do not because no percent of people are rich.
Says the rich.
Killing rich people doesn't stop people from driving cars or eating livestock or flying on airplanes or trading on sea lanes or requiring heat for their homes/water/etc or needing electricity
That's a meme my dude, literally from the first album I ever bought from Aerosmith...

I mean if we lived in a society where we could tax billionaires out of existence, then we could probably solve climate change with all that tax revenue.
Maybe in a different playthrough, kid.
What does that mean? I'm a little slow over here, but happy to help.
Economic sabotage and guerrilla warfare if necessary
Such a counterproductive useless attitude. Not trying to be mean, but rhetoric like this is what spurs inaction.
Careful, gonna cut yourself on all that edge dickhead.
Big words, why don't you go ahead and show us how it's done then? Or are you just going to chest pound from behind your monitor?
