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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Ava Louise, the woman who had gluteal implants and now has an ass so big that she can't fit into regular seats or clothing. Humans are fucking weird.
i mean, it's cool we have science to provide that to the people who want it imo
its really not. Someone like that needs mental help, not to be indulged
I don’t see what the issue is, it’s her body, she can do what she wants with it.
Its mental illness. Its not going to benifit her.
If it makes her happy and isn't hurting anyone else why do you care?
If it makes "Hitler" happy and isn't hurting "not-Jews" else why do you care?
These kinds of whataboutism is how bad things happen from well-intentioned but ultimately bad things end up happening.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I don't know why I'm bothering to feed the troll, but here goes...
Hurting "no one" and hurting "not Jews" are two very different things, you do realize?
Guy says "She's not hurting anyone". And your response is "Hitler wasn't hurting anyone...except the Jews" as though that's somehow an equivalent rebuttal? What the absolute fuck is wrong with your fucking brain?
Extreme examples bring to light why whataboutism is so prevalent. Find a better answer than "public nudity never hurt no one" ... is not the correct answer.
This response is so dumb, reading it has actually managed to make me measurably stupider.
Cigarettes, Alcohol, Gambling, Porn, Birdwatching, Hiking, Video Games, Blogging, Youtubing, Racing....
Absolutely all of these things can be enjoyed, abused, and everything in between. All of them can lead to problems and/or can be part of a fulfilling and happy life.
You are approaching this with "She's sick and she did this, disgusting" rather than "she's sick and this is a symptom of that, what a shame"
Unless you are this harsh to people who have problems with the other things I mentioned and more, then you should evaluate why this specifically bothers you, it may speak to a preconception you have from a place of privilege.
Yes but this is obviously a mental illness. Plastic surgery can be great, but when abused like this its feeding a mental illness.
I didn't disagree, I pointed out that you're approaching this with contempt rather than empathy.
You're right, but you're not showing the world you're right, you're just showing the world you're mean.
That’s fine, I doubt she considered what StupidBrotherInLaw thought anyway.
