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.

I hope this person gets help
Because you're an asshole, maybe.
Vapes smell, but not like smoke. Sometimes you can’t even tell when you go to someone’s room.
You will still get residue on your walls over time. Doing it once won't cause harm, but prolonged indoor use is just shitty for everyone.
The smell is not the issue here, you still get second-hand smoke from nicotin into your lungs, even if it's a smaller concentration.
Edit: well, this is one topic that unexpectedly seems to be controversial lol, here you go, from WHO:
I've had it first and second-hand, it smells like a cheap candle.
vapes need to have a major crackdown
no more ads
no more sugary flavours
As a first step, ban disposable vapes.
There is literal tons of electronics and lithium batteries getting thrown in the trash because of that bullshit.
The reason for that is shitty regulation. In their attempt to make vaping more expensive the government made laws that make those disposable vapes the most cost effective for manufacturers.
Flavors are fine, crackdown on the sale to minors. Adults deserve to have things that taste good if that's what they want
If we want that freedom then we need to be way fucking better parents, overall.
Lol, no you won't.
Such a weird fucking thing to say about a stranger you've never met.
I know plenty of people that stopped vaping after becoming pregnant. And yeah it sucked for them, but they knew it's the right thing to do.
I'm so very tired of people automatically assuming the worst of others
Both of the mothers of my children quit smoking and drinking when the got pregnant.
Bros got multiple baby mamas?? Baller
Yeah it's usually a while until the first test
