A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 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.

I wish they would just raise prices rather than making everything shittier.
Year after year we eat more disgusting filler laden crap because it's cheaper than the real mccoy. Sometimes, rarely, the alternative is actually better. Most of the time it's just depressing and ruins the taste leaving us with just fond memories of how it used to be.
Looking at you, Cadbury.
I wish they would just raise prices rather than making everything shittier.
The companies, in response to you:
Yeah, I know. It's too bad there is no economic incentive to keep quality high.
Instead sysco, the people who supply something like 90% of us restaurants keeps on making more and more money y/y by adding soybean filler and other shit to their meat. They always find a way to make the change with an excuse like "prices are high right now" - and then they never, EVER go back to how it was unless it's cheaper. Soybeans never get cheaper, we just keep subsidizing them so sysco can keep using them as filler.
Anyway...
That soy filler is the bane of my existence. I'm intolerant to legumes, and I'm pretty sure soy additives are the reason almost all manufactured foods affect me. In theory, I should be able to eat bread, but it's very rare to find any that doesn't include soy.
I'm pretty sure all my "gluten free" family are actually reacting to the soy too.
Sensory testing with consumers shows the new coatings deliver the same great taste as the originals," the spokesperson added.
I call BS because if you could get the same flavour as before with cheaper "chocolate flavour", they would have been doing it for decades.
If ya liiiiiike a lotta chocolate on ya biscuit go somewhere else
I'd have an opinion on this if I knew what those were. STRONG opinions in fact. They'd be such strong opinions. You don't even know.
The alternative is that they adopt the Tunnocks' invention of transparent chocolate. The chocolate on the Tunnocks Caramel is so thin you can see the wafer underneath.
