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.

Fixed that for you. You know different regions and cultures have different norms for foods, right?
I'm struggling to think of a single component of a hot dog or sausage that isn't "normal" to eat everywhere in the world except for reasons of religion and even then it depends on what meat was used to make it.
I'm curious as to whether this is lack of experience, knowledge or imagination. Maybe all 3.
On your behalf? It's just ignorance and lack of curiosity. You don't think about the world, hence you do not know.
because you're used to it.
Also, you replied to the wrong person
You're absolutely correct, in fact most food is usually variations on a theme e.g. meat in bread like sandwiches, burgers, burritos, tacos, dumplings... but this isn't a popular opinion unfortunately.
Do they? Most everywhere people eat basically the same shit. Preparation methods vary and there's substitutions historically based on available resources but globalisation has practically obliterated all that.
I'm not a westoid BTW I've traveled a decent amount.
Buffalo sauce is a rare sight in Europe, as is white gravy. Americans consider them an everyday occurrence.
man what part of america are you in lol. I've never seen either of those as an everyday occurrence, though you will find them if you go to a southern fried chicken joint.
...the south lol
Of course. Do you eat bats too? FWIW, when I was in federal service overseeing biotechnolgical modifications of animals, I and my reports were discussing some permit requests that came to us in conjunction with our duties. One of the permits requests included an animal that was unknown to us at the time. When the critter was mentioned, I and one of my reports (both of us are of an ethnicity stereotypically known to have wide-ranging culinary tastes) turned to each other and wondered aloud, "I wonder if they are good to eat?".
What on earth do you put on your biscuits, if not white gravy?
