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.

What other reasons are there?
Xenophobia, I assume? Wine allergy? Grudge against decent food?
Spanish & Italian food is better for the most part imo.
Obviously Xenophobia isn't excusable.
Ok, ok, Italy has a claim, but Spain? Let's be real here.
Let's be real about what? You have Italian restaurants around you selling you pasta with sauce for 5 times the price it takes you to do the same at home in 30 minutes and you think the Spanish can't do that?
Tapas are a delight and you know it.
It's just smaller food in greater variety!
Exactly. And how delightful that variety is!
I can't argue with you. I love tapas.
If there is a heaven, patatas bravas is what I will eat there
The thing about french cuisine is that it's so widely adopted that most of the stuff that you eat that uses their techniques is just called "food". As for regional food... That's just personal preference, ofc.
By far. French food is the most overrated thing I’ve come across. It’s so bad I feel like it must be a joke everyone is in on. But I like France anyway
Fair dues, different strokes and all that.
About 50% of those are shared by the three countries, they have the same culture of caring about production quality and origin. French does have more history and attention given to haute cuisine.
French people are reason #1
It's just a joke.
Yeah I thought the censoring of France was a dead giveaway
I guarantee the people downvoting you are the same numb nuts that refuse to use /s.
To clarify the joke for people, it's not about any legitimate hatred of France, it's the same type of banter you'd use when talking about a rival sports team.
The English and Scots hate eachother and make jokes at eachothers expense all the time, but in reality it's actually much more like a friendly rivalry between brothers.
Maybe Americans don't get it because they don't really have any friendly rivals, just people that legit hate them /s
/s is fucking obnoxious.
I'm sorry /s triggers you so much, but this thread is just one of countless that prove it is needed.
You type the most extreme, obviously sarcastic statement possible and I'll find you some people who read it literally and respond to it seriously.
Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views
I really brought this on myself since this was the comment I made before this shitshow.

If the topic is important enough to warrant this level of concern, then the use of sarcasm is necessarily contraindicated. If it isn’t, /s isn’t going to save folks who are unwilling to take even a few seconds to engage their brain; it’s actually a great filter. In the case of humorous sarcasm, nothing kills the joke faster or more completely than announcing, "dw guys, this cute bit of edginess was not meant sincerely, it's just a joke!".
And a bit of implicit ad hominem for you: do you know where Poe's law originated?
Yes, I've read the article that I attached
