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.

As a Canadian I welcome our new American refugees. Please leave your guns at the door and be sure to grab your free plate of poutine when you arrive.
You have no idea how tempting that offer is.
I live in california and you have no idea how hard it is to get competent poutine here.
I can get shit from places ive never heard of but i cant get fucking poutine.
Sadly it's not that common here either TBH. There are lots of places to get poutine, just not so much good poutine
Last time they forgot the gravy. Time before that it was barely gravy, more water that had once heard of gravy, and not enough cheese.
The fries are always sad fries, ~50% to be limp shoestrings that cannot bear toppings, which is extra inexplicable because we do other kinds of cheese fries here, and any chef worth shit knows how stupid that is.
I've only ever had poutine from Epcot. I really like it, but for those who have tried it there and also the real thing, does it compare?
Poutine is complete shit outside of Quebec.
Not true. It's just not AS good. It's pretty hard to mess up fries, cheese, and gravy. Just be wary of anything with more ingredients than those big three.
I have never had poutine, but gravy comes in many forms. What kind of gravy?
Usually a darker gravy, beef, maybe vegetable, but there's so many variations. Your best bet is to have your poutine that has fries that are cut large, cheese curds (St Albert's is best) and your beef gravy. Try that first, then venture out to new toppings.
I've always made it with half chicken half beef. I dunno if that is correct, but Canadians that have tried it said it was good.
You could feed a canadian raw sewage and they'd still compliment your cooking just to be polite.
There's not enough housing to bring in another round of Loyalists.
Mmm poutine, gorton, meat pies. Mmm.
*cretons
I would like to but I'd need the guns to protect from the neighbors to the south. Have you seen them? They crazy. Also moose. Have you seen them? They crazy.
Oh. Just get a license then.
oi! you got a loicense for that loicense request!
