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.

Please do show your evidence that "directed energy weapons" are shooting down alien spacecraft all over the planet.
You gotta let these folks have their fun. Directed energy weapon space invader wars is (Usually) one of the least dangerous conspiracies out there.
I'm just a stickler for needing evidence for extraordinary claims. I can't help it, it's pathological.
And what’s you evidence that we aren’t doing it? You’re probably one of those guys that think Congress is trying to take attention away from the Biden family 😂
Watch the Dr. Greer podcast on the Shawn Ryan show, educate yourself a bit, then come back.
That's not how the burden of proof works. You made the claim, it's not my job to prove you aren't lying.
And no, I think congress is just full of nutcases and I'm not going to watch some person blathering on a podcast because that proves nothing.
You actually made the claim, so I’ll be waiting for my evidence.
What claim do you think I made?
Wheres your evidence that these UFO’s have shields to protect them from micrometeorites? Thats a pretty bold claim there, buddy..
Um... how do you think they survive interstellar travel at relativistic speeds and not be shielded from a constant barrage of micrometeors? Do they steer around them?
Still waiting on your evidence instead of another bold claim. What’s the matter? Don’t have any?
My evidence for what?
Your outrageous claims 😂
Another dishonest tactic - deflecting to an unimportant part of the argument to hold up the participant with needless explanations for metaphorical concepts.
What the other user meant is that all we know about space travel is, that we need a lot of protective layers around our crafts just for leaving the atmosphere, so one would assume that craft that supposedly travel hundreds of light-years would need a very sophisticated kind of protection. But there is no way to deliver evidence to a theoretical concept, hence why I said your arguing is in bad faith my dear.
edit: and now he takes the cowards way out of a failing argument by deleting his comments. That's another tactic - ending the conversation, rendering all our arguments worthless and essential wasting our time. Jean Paul Sartre described it well in his quote about anti semitism.
Which claims are those? Please quote them.
Read up? Are you slow?
That's not an answer.
Yes, it is. But we can start with you claiming UFO’s have shields to block micrometeorites. Go ahead, post your source for that. I’m waiting.
I didn't claim it, I asked. Do you understand the difference between a claim and a question?
You literally claimed they have shields to protect them, your words, not mine. Still waiting on that evidence bro
Again, I explained why I put that in my question. You did not respond to my explanation.
You literally claimed they have shields to protect them, your words, not mine. Still waiting on that evidence bro
Nope, I asked a question. And I clarified it. Which you did not respond to.
People should study you and find out how you were able to make it this far in life.
Its alright if this information upsets you
What information??
You haven't provided any at all.
Do you have any kind of evidence at all you can share with us?
