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.

Just as soon as people quit pissing on it.
I supposedly go to work in a building with other adults.
Men who stand to piss has never had to clean the bathroom. It's standard in Germany to sit when pissing. It's also healthy for men, so if you're standing, especially at home, sit the fuck down!
I'm north of the border. Here it's apparently standard not to use the urinals either, but men will walk into the booths and still piss standing.
Ah, another person who doesn't have a penis, who doesn't understand that when you sit down and compress everything and then stand up, piss goes everywhere.
Shut up and never speak again on how men should urinate. Unless you're going to equally advocate that men have appropriate waste disposal tools in bathrooms, such as stand-up urinals.
You really want to see men's penis so they can prove they're male? I can take a picture of you don't believe me, though, it's weird, but I'll do it.
Did you know that not everyone has a dick?
I clean my bathroom, and stand to pee. It's fine.
I'm a man who both stand and clean my own toilet, sorry if your preconceptions are wrong.
I'd recommend that you sit, just because it's healthier for you. But you do you!
A source for this claim might help your case.
Shown in this study, men should sit due to the splashback, which will travel throughout the bathroom, and will land on your toothbrush, where bacteria will grow (tip: keep your toothbrush in a cupboard or similar).
Risk of prostate enlargement (study, which can also lead to UTIs.
For the 1st one:
So that others don't have to go read it to find out, LUTS is Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms. Right off the bat, if you don't have a LUTS, this doesn't appear to apply to you. Further, it even says there was no statistical significance for those with LUTS or healthy men.
The conclusion:
For the 2nd, I didn't get past the title:
This seems to be about female bladders. I could be wrong here but I do think we were talking about males standing to pee. The words "sitting", "standing", and "male" make no appearance in the study.
This is a strange topic to have such a strong opinion about to have no good proof for.
Nein!
So standard that they had to have an influence campaign to shame men into "sitz pickling" in homes.
I'm saying this as a man sitting on a toilet peeing at this very moment, so I'm all in favor. But I think the other commenters should know the history.
Personally I'm in favor of sitting when plumbing is involved, and standing out in nature.
Healthier how? I also clean and stand, and put the seat down to flush.
You seem quite passionate about this?
Yes, I am, because people should do what's healthy for them. It's not like I don't stand when I'm out in the woods/in public toilets/in my garden (for the plants), but sitting let's more urine out, making less of a mess of those small droplets than you can't get out.
On that note, after you've pissed, try dragging your finger from underneath your balls and forward towards your balls - you'll be surprised how much urine you'll push out!
Men standing to pee is not nearly as bad as women who hover.
Don't tell me what to do
"it's like a little treat"
That explains so much about German men.
