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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

One night Musk and Trump were sitting in the Oval Office not doing much, as they like to do. Musk was out of his gourd on ketamine and Trump just shit himself for the third time since his last diaper change. Out of nowhere Musk says: "We should start saying "Sieg Heil" to each other". Trump looks up, or at least as much as his failing body would allow, and says: "Why Elon? What does that mean?" Musk responds, irritation showing in his voice: "Well that's what our brothers in Germany said, so I think we should bring back the tradition". Trump, also getting angry, picks up the phone and shouts he needs a MickeyD hamberder right away. As he fumbles the handle back on the red phone, he shouts to Musk: "Yes, I know that's what the Germans said, but what does it mean?!". "I'm not sure, wait I'll ask Grok" Musk responds. After a couple of failed tries with the speech to text on his phone, Grok responds using a voice suspiciously like Scarlett Johanssons. Grok explains the word Sieg means victory and Heil is a greeting (hail), Germans used to say this to mean they believed they would be victorious. "Why would we say it then? I'm already President for life, I already have my victory!" Trump exclaimed. "We're going to need a war then" Musk responded.
"And that, children, is how WW3 started all the way back in 2026" the Teacherbot says to the class over Microsoft Copilot New 365 Teams with Copilot (tm). Elroy shouts: "Teacher! That can't be true, that sounds dumb as shit!". "Language! We'll have a talk about your behavior after class young man. I've already sent a meeting invite to your father, so he'll be joining that call as well" Teacherbot responds. Elroy sighs and says "Ah shucks"
