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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

You have to be such a dork to drink Foster's. Or Heineken actually.
Australians don't even actually drink that gross bullshit.
I didn't think there were any beers specifically "for dorks" lmfao
TIL
As an Australian who was periphery to the craft beer boom of the 2010s - you never know in the moment, but you can certainly clock it in retrospect.
I'm going to Australia soon. What do you recommend?
Victoria Bitter. Don't just take my word for it, take this advertising campaign. Honestly by the end there's no way you won't feel like a VB.

Most of my thirsts are not hard-earned but the music is catchy. I'll give it a go, thank you.
You can get it replying to a post on Lemmy You can get it telling a Karen on Facebook she's a cow You can get it why old how As a matter of fact, I've got it now
That theme song is my Pavlov bell. I need a few pints, and a kebab.
If you get the chance, give matos mango beer a shot, it rips. Made out in Broome, WA and tastes like a Weis bar. Their ginger beer is a refreshing too!
Generally, look for stuff that's independent - there's a label on most indi tins. Our corporate, mass market stuff is evil and piss water (it's good because it's OUR piss water and we have a lot of fond memories attached, not because it's good)
James Squire 150 lashes, Furphy, Little Creatures, Boags Premium - are my personal favourites from major breweries
There's also thousands of small independent micro brewers you can visit and some venues will stock a good variety of the local independents who make every type of beer imaginable: lagers, ales, stouts etc
If you're in Brisbane at all go to The Scratch near the train station in Milton
+1
that's a genuine tip right there. Scratch rips.
I'm afraid that's too far up north. It's apparently a huge island!
I really enjoyed Toohey's White Stag when i lived there though that was 16 years ago 👴
A point in each shnoztril, champion.
Lot’s of water
Can confirm.
As far as beer goes, each state has a favorite mass produced one and a gazillion local small ones. Try a one of each sort you like
I appreciate it ;)
