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.

The oven fan drives me nuts. It allows them to sell stupid shit like air fryers. Put convection in my fucking oven and stop charging up to $1000 extra for the option.
Also the combo washer dryer. I stayed with friends in Belgium for a month over 25 years ago. They had a front load washer/dryer. One appliance. We are now finally seeing these in North America but they suck balls and are really expensive.
Oh I hate them combos, great in theory often poor in practice. They are usually in rental properties here, cheap and cheerful resolution.
The ovens are crazy, no wonder the US have all these appliances. My oven steams and a dude on here would not believe me saying its not practical to have an industrial oven in my house.
To be fair though we have a higher voltage residential supply too so you guys might not be able to as effectively use this shit.
It's corporations. My stove runs on 220V as does my dryer. Aside from gas all of them do. It does exist but it is priced out of a normal person's budget. These ovens exist only in homes where everyone eats out as generally those are the homes that can afford the extra expense. Or as that person told you previously, unless you purchase a commercial oven. Yay capitalism!
Due ye have dual supply or step up?
To be fair I got what I paid for, I paid shy of two grand for two full size ovens that include a steam and microwave function. We use them all the time. Do you guys have down draft hobs? Best thing I ever bought for the kitchen.
I'm not a typical North American. I have a full kitchen outside my house in an outbuilding that is fully set up as a commercial kitchen on three phase power. Inside my house I have typical shitty North American appliances. The "outdoor" kitchen is all second hand bought at auction commercial restaurant appliances. Gas stove tops. Commercial electric ovens. Vent hoods. The whole thing. It's taken years and years to build up.
We grow, forage and raise a lot of our own food and have a small galley style kitchen in our little house that just isn't practical for large batch stuff like butchering and canning.
You're who I think I will be everytime I try fermenting and planting food.
