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.

They do have a nice and close weight, but their radioactivity gives them away.
Tungsten has a density of 19.25g/cm3. Compared to Gold with 19.32g/cm3, they are rather close. Uranium is a little less dense at 19.16g/cm3.
idk, i'd rather have the tungsten than the gold
WTF! We can do that? Just post gifs on the internet?!
No but seriously how did you do that? Did you upload a .gif as an image? This will open up an ocean of... Good use for me!
Bear in mind though, that your instance (in your case, lemmy.world) will bear the cost of storing your .gif, and lemmy.world doesn't have ad revenue to pay for that like Reddit does. So use .gifs sparingly.
I will use it sparingly! Thank you!
there should be a button to view the source of my comments, but basically:
for those of y'all who would like to skip the tutorial, skip it
if you include the ! it renders the image or gif (the link needs to be a direct path to the image, not just the page it's on. it might take a little experimenting. it did for me) and if you don't it just has the text and a link to the image.without the !
first image: I NEED TUNGSTEN TO LIVE
with the !
i have been told if we add "hovertext" after the link (but still in the parens) we can add hovertext, but i haven't experimented with nor figured it out yet so i can't really advise you on it, sorry. there's always bigger fish.
I will use it sparingly! Thank you!
go nuts. just, like, if you do drop spoilers on it so you don't clog the whole damn page
Fuck it, this is too modern for me.
