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.

Can someone burn it to the ground and bar every single person responsible for these companies in a cell somewhere on the moon so they never witness the blue sky again in their life
Nonono it's "eat the rich" not "send the rich to the moon". We have to keep the logistics in mind here. I mean, think of the rocket fuel. In this economy no less.
Best we could do would be some form of slingshot. I reckon the g forces would kill them long before they arrive and there would be little more than a small stain left on the moon. Somebody needs to do the math on this. I'll make the logo.
Mulch the rich. They make better fertilizer than food.
Except the bio hacking vitamin nut jobs. Their remains belong in a superfund site.
If we're open to suggestion, I'd love if we could collectively agree to take a few basic human rights from them, and have a reality TV crew follow them 24/7 while they get all their capital seized, and seeing their daily struggle because they don't know any useful skill.
Those that lose all their faux friends and have nowhere to go could go live in the Mansion, where they'd be subjected to humiliating daily games related to all the sins they committed as traitors to humankind.
I would finally be a reality tv fan.
So... prison?
Yuuup, except the amount of pain they inflicted needs a lot of catharsis to process, hence the reality tv angle.
How about shooting them out of a cannon off a very, very tall cliff? Let them be fully aware of their own mortality and impending death as the ground rapidly approaches below.
We need to make books with their names and faces and business relationships. All the ghouls. All of them. They should never sleep another night restfully.
Books in the style of the necromicon?
We could bind them in those that are removed from the book.
There are regular protests outside their main engineering office in Palo Alto.
You're burning the wrong thing. Burn every single person responsible for these companies.
Captain Coke says it's ok to occasionally kill people.
