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.
-
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.

If other people follow the US governments stupidity then that's on them.
All the signs are there to make better decisions and not do that.
USA didn't make this shit in a lab and spread it. So no, it isn't their fault. (And to be clear since people with low IQ gravitate to this comment, No country did that. It was highlighting the fact that no this isn't a single countries fault)
And last I checked there were rich fucks from a lot of different countries on those cruise ships that knew there was something going on and jumped ship and ran into their respective countries anyway.
Oh
You're stupid
I thought as much.
So you think that they did? If that's so, please tell me more about stupid.
Or are you saying its still Americas fault for it spreading even though it didn't even originate here?
If so, make that explainable in a way that isn't stupid.
Unless a country made that shit in a lab (which is stupid because that didn't happen) or allowed it to spread from their own borders then how is it any of their faults?
You seem to love voicing your opinion a lot while calling others stupid so I look forward to the thought provoking conversation I'm sure you will have about this.
You're following me around like a lost puppy
Do you have a crush on me? 👉👈🥹
Yeah so no opinion you want to share now? Surprising. You were so loud before.
I know it can be heard to keep up, but this is all the same thread of a single comment you made.
You called others stupid a lot in this same comment section of a comment you made so I thought wow let's get an intellectuals opinion on the subject.
Sad you don't want to play the game anymore. You seemed to have a lot of very smart opinions, after all. You should share them. Let us all know how it is the US fault about a virus spreading.
Maybe you could teach us something!
I'll bet by the way you dodged that lab comment that you believe some dumb shit like that. But then call others stupid.
Oh,
I don't want to leave you with any doubt whatsoever that I think you're stupid
But you also seem to be racist, or at least prone to conspiracy theories brewed up by other stupid people
I'm not going to engage with you any more
So again not able to make a coherent response to the bullshit you peddled.
I am not surprised.
Also I'm not a racist and you jumping to that conlusion with zero evidence is further proof that your coherence needs some work.
And nope. I brought up the conspiracy theory shit since that would literally be the only way someone could try to blame a single country for a communicable disease and stated that that was stupid as fuck and didn't happen twice. (Pay attention)
I know its hard to keep up. But hey at least you didn't have to think too hard about a reply to your bullshit! You can just call people racist and avoid having to explain or take accountability for anything you say!
Good strategy you'll get far in life with it.
I'd probably opt for that strategy too if I didn't know what the fuck I was talking about.
