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.

the ban sounds like great advertising material.
"so spicy that Denmark had to make it illegal"
"are you stronger than the entire country of Denmark?"
"criminally spicy"
When Monty Python's The Life of Brian came out, Norway banned it. Sweden then advertised it as "the film so funny that it was banned in Norway."
That's beautiful, thank you for sharing. I've been a fan for ages but didn't know that.
No problem, it's one of my favorite Monty Python factoids.
For what it's worth, the Norwegians have since made up for this issue by making a really funny TV show. And doing it in both Norwegian and English versions, which must have been an extra challenge since so much of comedy is about language and it would have been the second language for most, if not all of the people involved.

I love that show. It's fucking hilarious!
I love it too. I don't know Norwegian, so I have no idea how that version works, but I am really impressed that they made a very funny English-language comedy in a country where English is, at best, someone's second language most of the time. I realize many Norwegians speak very good English, but it's still impressive.
You're not wrong. My interest in that brand jumped. But reviews basically said "it's just spicy, not great flavor"
I thought it was delicious. And that’s when trying to eat the black package, which was so spicy I very nearly threw up. But it still tasted delicious.
I tried them and really enjoyed it. it was an amazing experience. wouldn't call it delicious tho. more comparable to skydiving than a meal.
Flavor's actually not bad at all. I've definitely had spicy foods that are nothing but capsaicin but this one actually has taste
I may have to check it out then! I like spicy food but I dislike spicy food that is just spicy no flavor.
It would have been until they measured the capsaisin levels and declared it not as spicy as they were told.
