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 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.

Local officials told public broadcaster NHK that the coast guard is unable to rescue the whales because the surrounding ice is too thick
Oh sure, but for a billionaire humanity will comb the oceans to rescue the goo that's left of them from trying to show off.
Maybe the Orca's should have pulled themselves up by their finstraps. (/s)
Mr Beast get out there and fucking save them
Well, that ruined my day.
They are free now!
Go watch "The Cove" and you'll see why Japan isn't doing anything.
You don't need to watch a whole doc to learn that Japan still goes whaling.
To grasp how fucked up it is maybe people should
maybe so
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A pod of at least 10 orcas are trapped by sea ice off the coast of northern Japan, drone footage from Tuesday morning shows.
The video, released by local wildlife organization Wildlife Pro, showed the killer whales struggling with their heads above the frozen waters off Hokkaido, Japan.
Local officials told public broadcaster NHK that the coast guard is unable to rescue the whales because the surrounding ice is too thick, BBC News reported.
According to local media, nine orcas died in 2005 after getting stuck in drift ice in the same area, BBC reported.
The original article contains 93 words, the summary contains 93 words. Saved 0%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Shit! Now Japanese fishermen will kill them all!
Between the Coast Guard and the Self Defense Force, there should be at least one ice breaker that they can plow a channel past where the pod is and lead them back into open water.
Biden, tell Alaska to stop stealing land from the Inuit for five minutes and help out.
