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.

Christopher Hitchens on the death of Jerry Falwell
I love at the end: "If you gave him an enema, you could bury him in a matchbox." I think of that every time I hear of another one of these evil fucking dominionists dying.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Who?
What else did everyone else have for dinner today?
Just a protein bar. My wife got home a day early from her week long hospital stay so the whole evening was a bit of scrambling.
A egg tortilla burrito.
Is this a yahoo comments thing? Since I usually see chuds doing the whole what they ate today thing on yahoo news comments
Usually on news stories with zoomer era celebrities that they have no idea who they are
I had meatballs, frozen peas, and potato salad.
Jimmy: “boy heaven sure is hot!” “And why am I in a hot tub of lava next to hitler and Regan?”
Took far too long. He got ~70 years more than he should have.
Jimmy converted to Islam at the last second. He wanted to be surrounded by 72 virgin prostitutes.
He gave his name to the sin of swaggarcy, of diverting church funds to pay for sex.
Contributors built Jimmy Swaggart Ministries into a business that made an estimated $142 million in 1986...
... Swaggart said publicly that his earnings were hurt in 1987 by the sex scandal.
Mawww.
OK now do Joel Osteen next.
And Kenneth Copeland. With fire.
I have no fucking idea how he isn't dead first with how he looks
I've never seen a person who looked more like a demon in a skin suit than Kenneth Copeland.
Holy fucking nightmares those eyes
If I was religious I would definitely think he was the devil quoting scripture.
fucker looks like the Edgar suit from Men in Black.
fuck dude that guy's held together with staples and wd-40
Even before I saw that guy preach, I thought he was the creepiest-looking person ever. His sermons and lifestyle don't help.
Finally, some good news.
Snorting meth off a gay hooker's butt forever in the afterlife
90 years of doing Satan's work, he can go back home where he belongs now.
Don't blame this on Satan.
Wasn't soon enough. Rot in hell.
Rest in piss
🎵 Only the good die young! 🎶🎷
Amen!
Good riddance
"if you gave ~~Jerry Falwell~~ Jimmy Swaggart an enema you could bury him in a matchbox." - Christopher Hitchens (would have said RIP)
Had to chew on this to figure it out.
Enemas inject things, so why would it make someone smaller?
Enemas are used to clear stools. Constipation relief.
Ahh. I get it now.
Don't feel bad, it was a very subtle jab. The best part was it was at the end of a Fox News interview as they cut away, so it was what I liked to call a sarcasm grenade. Pull the pin, let it sit for a minute. Boom.
A classic. 🥰
Prostitution shouldn’t be a scandal. But also, all televangelists deserve to die.
It’s the hypocrisy. SW should be legal/decriminalized, but this motherfucker would have preached against fornication while getting a BJ under the pulpit if he thought he’d get away with it.
Hypocrisy was the real scandal. Not so much the prostitution. I'm certain there was a ton of anti-sex work judgement to go along with that. But otherwise I fully agree.
