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.
- 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.

Soy farming is destructive to natural ecosystems. A shame for the farmers in the US, but the nature will be glad and that is more valuable. It does depend on the replacement crop.
I am worried about Brazilian's nature with the increasing soy farming. Soy needs terrain that competes with beautiful native plants, and with increasing production, more land will be lost, and more water consumed.
The good news is that soy farming makes more sense in Brazil. Higher rainfall means less diverted water. It is actually more ecologically cost effective. Hopefully there will not be much more forest displacement.
Soyf farming and cattle ranching have been destroying the amazon for decades. It is severely diminished from that. But it is such a huge forest that it seems infinite.
The bigger problem is that the soil on the amazon is actually pretty bad. There is a thin fertile layer that gets renewed by the forest. Once you cut it down to plant something else it quickly becomes bad, so you have to cut down more forest to keep up production
US Farmers having the day they voted for:
They were voting for subsidies
They voted for what they got.
US could always turn those soybeans into cheap food for the US.
Even give it away to starving families who lost their SNAP benefits during the shutdown.
But capitalists have to lie, çeat, & steal.
Cheat?
Tax evasion, market manipulation, monopolies... etc.
Sha-eat?
You got it right the first time.
Cha che chi cho chu = Ça çe çi ço çu.
English is such a shit language it changes “ea” to /ι/ in “cheat” /çιt/
You seem reasonably proficient at it. I think you introduce misspellings like this on purpose—given your history. It’s a bit psychotic if you ask me—given your history…….
What's the problem with "çeat"? Pretty obvious that it's pronounced "cheat". If you'd speak three languages or more, you'd be aware of that.Don't blame others for your eductional deficites.
Pretty obvious that it’s pronounced “cheat”
French would like to disagree.
Good. Make it forever.
