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.

Aren't they burning the rainforest though?
Check your sources again.
Wait, you legitimately believe there is no deforestation problem in the Amazon?
Cool, Americans barely consume any of those things
Ffs gotta be explicit these days: /s
(I'm a coffee addict, it's been brutal)
Ya gotta be explicit because there's too many Americans saying wild shit like this unironically lol
Someday sarcasm will become more apparent again in western online spaces. Far, far in the future...
2024 numbers for Brazil's exports to the USA. https://tradingeconomics.com/brazil/exports/united-states
$2B in coffee
$1.25B in vegetables and fruit
$1B in meat.
40% of $4,250,000,000 is $1,300,000,000
Check your math.
1.7bn, not 1.3
do use your own advice, please.
Coffee is up in price already, the tariffs must be brutal.
bought a years supply after November '24.
I've been rationing it and still have another 3-4 months left.
I just hope the bastard dies and the tariffs are resolved before I have to start roasting and grinding dandelions up.
Green coffee lasts longer, if you're comfortable roasting.
Like two dollars a pound in my area.
Amazing, Brazil has no problem locking up their POS ex President for a coup, but I guess we can't fucking do that here.
We are still at the phase of getting people mobilized and connected. If we want that to happen here we will need everybody who cares connected and doing in ervery way. Lots of people doing behind the scenes for the better, & to resist/undo the shit but more people doing will help alot.
Join your communities, and help others get active too. Piece by piece together
27 years babyyyyyy 🎉🥂
Americans are importing beef all the way from Brazil? Good god.
Man that's his 4th "liberation day" this year. It's as if your words don't match your actions donny! You're like a child who wanders in in the middle of a movie.
Went to Dollar General for a few things, refused to pay for coffee. I'd rather do without.
Tbh I refuse to patronize dollar general, because they are an absolute cancer of a corporate entity (yes, I know how little that narrows it down, but their business model really is unbelievably caustic, in that it specifically preys upon socioeconomically depressed areas and actively makes them worse).
DG is all we have in the country. It's not like some mom-and-pop could provide that range of goods at those prices. There are DGs where there is nothing else, never was. I'm on the edge of town and a lot of these people have to walk or bike to the store. The new DG was a godsend.
At the town outside my camp, 900 souls, there's a DG and a gas/convenience/general store coexisting, only two businesses. I spend what I can with the local store, get what I can't at DG. The DG is the only real general store (hence the name) for 25-minutes in either direction.
Every criticism I've ever heard is from city people.
As a city person:
It’s not that I care about the personal impact that it has on me. It doesn’t affect me at all, to be blunt.
It may in fact be true that there are areas where there was nothing other than a DG (the company was founded in 1939, so it’s been around for a while), but in terms of the last few decades, it’s absolutely true that they’re undercutting an absolute shitload of local mom + pop general stores and driving them out of business, then exploiting their new captive audience and charging them more per unit mass/volume on everything. It’s literally their business model. That business model is predatory.
Anyways, if that’s not something that you can understand or admit, I don’t think any explanation from a random “city person” on the internet is going to convince you.
I'm waiting for a cheap synthetic coffe and cacao alternative. With all the progress in gene editing and whatnot, why don't we have this already?
Caffeine extract is available in powder form if that's what you're looking for
True caffeine addicts know that different forms hit different.
While I know rationally that the chemical is the same no matter the source, and I have studied the neural chemistry and could go on for hours about how adenosine and the neural transmitters work, I can also say with certainty that the caffeine buzz you get from tea feels a lot different than from coffee, which both feel a lot different from different brands of energy drinks and different from pills or shots.
