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.

I swear to sweet little 9lb 5 ounce Baby Jesus...
I have zero idea why China hasn't slapped a 1,000% tarrif on any MAGA goods or anything that supports American conservative movements.
China makes all that shit, it's a no brainer
That's not how tariffs work.
The chinese MAGA hats are going from China to the U.S., not the other way around.
Edit: That, it turns out, is how tariffs work as well. TIL.

It never gets old having people with zero idea what Im talking about, confidently tell me they don't know what I'm talking about...
Like, I fully understand that not everyone knows everything.
But why do you all assume that you personally know everything, so when you run into something you're not familiar with, you just insist the other person is wrong?
Is public education the last couple decades just this cooked that kids don't know how to Google anything?
You just say whatever is in your head in the moment, and if someone smarter takes the time you might learn something, but most of the time just downvote and stop replying?
It's not just you, I'm fucking terrified for society. People acting like you is why trump is president and America sucks.
Fucking be better bro
Daddy, chill.
I stand corrected.
I thought tariffs were on imports only. Can there be export tariffs? Well, TIL.
And lol no. You can't say that Trump is in power because of me. And so for assuming that much, I'll say that this is why Trump won - because of pointless emotional reactions that cause division, like yours. So, let's say we're even.
Do consider that regardless of a tariff being export/import companies will generally pass the cost onto the consumer. So in general all tariffs are import tariffs by proxy.
