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.

And that is utter bullshit.
You can't be that dense to seriously say you enjoyed every single lecture. That's a lie, and you know it.
BTW, I'm from one of those "some countries". And no, nobody, not a single person enjoyed everything. That's not how reality works.
Who are you trying to impress here?
I'm just telling you about my anecdotal experience. You don't have to believe me. It changes nothing - I loved my lectures to bits. For me, it was such an improvement from high school where I was often bored! At uni, I studied what I was really interested in and even could choose from different lectures. Not every lecturer was good, so I sometimes got bored because of that, but not because I wouldn't like the subjects they were teaching - I enjoyed every bit of information I learned about at uni. I'm sorry it was so different for you that you can't believe this could be real for someone.
Edit: I think I found a better way to explain myself: Imagine a nerd learning all the nerd stuff. That was me.
You're lying to yourself, and you know it.
It is physically not possible to enjoy everything. You already backtracked, suddenly you were bored, but sitting through something boring is not bad for some reason?
I didn't like all lecturers, but I did like all the information, there was no lecture with boring informations for me. I get it. I didn't confirm your experience, therefore I must be lying. There's no way someone could be built differently from you. I suppose I should play the game and say I didn't like at least something, even though that's not true, to make myself more relatable.
Haters might call that a contradiction.
No, you're lying because you don't confirm the almost universal constant that nothing of that magnitude can be all positive. Net positive, sure. Mostly positive, absolutely. But all positive? Bullshit. Especially, if you keep backtracking.
You're being unnecessarily hostile. Are we on the internet or something?
