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.

Ehhh kinda. First of all when I started in like what 2012 using Kangertech pods and sticks, the vaporblunt brand liquid we were buying came in 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24mg options, and that was freebase liquid in the early days. Then mods came out and you didn't need that high (and it would hurt lol) so most liquids were sold in 0 (sometimes, but it started falling off), 3, and 6mg options. Then salt nic came out, but due to being absorbed differently by the body and consumers mostly not wanting to use sub-ohm mods instead opting for smaller devices ~1.6ohms, the nic contents went back up (as high as 50mg, actually), but since it's salt not freebase and something about the absorption and the amount of smoke difference from .1ohm to 1.6ohm it sort of evens out. ~45-50mg is still a little more iirc than say sub-ohm dripping a 3mg freebase, but not as wild as it sounds.
I make my own juice anyway at 4mg freebase.
Wow, 50 mg/ml is wild. I am out of the game now for a while, I am Vape and smoke free for nearly two years now. Maybe those 20 mg/ml are/were a german thing.
Here we had restrictions (and high taxes) for some years now and you only could buy nicotine liquids in 10 ml portions with max 20 mg/ml. So for some time we bought 1 liter of 0 mg base and mixed it with the small 20 mg packages and flavour.
I tried those nic salt vape pens a few times and while you are probably right and the nicotine level in the body doesn't differ wildly, I always experienced a hefty buzz from that.
But maybe that was the result of me trying to suck on those pens like on my Dead Rabbit SQ RDA. 🤷
Yeah but honestly not that wild due to how it gets absorbed and how little vapor you get. Not for me but y'know to each their own, I'm already on the other end of the nic spectrum myself anyway.
Yeah you definitely can get a buzz easier from salts especially using a dripper haha, they're meant for like Juuls lmao. That's intense!
