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.

Put yourself through traumatic surgery and then load yourself up with immune suppressants in a world that's gonna develop more and more pandemics.
...do it. Do it do it do it.
Personally, I crave the strength and certainty of steel.
One day the crude biomass you call "the temple" will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you.
But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal.

Do you want cybermen because Kit Pedler had a whole thing about this....
Traumatic surgery, sure.
But I assume the plan is to build replacement organs with your own dna, not transplants from donors.
Yeesh I didn't even think about this, but that might explain this accusation. I guess choosing from a catalogue of harvested organs to select the closest match would also decrease the need for immuno suppressants. Experts: China is sequencing Uyghur DNA for organ harvesting
Kinda makes you wonder if that's another reason they want increased genetic homogeneity and increased birthrates. Also makes me think of those catalogues of Ukrainian children Russia was offering for adoptions.
They're dictators and wealthy psychopaths.
They don't need people to donate, they'll simply take what they want, like they've always done.
They'll just live in a bubble. They practically already do, for their own safety, because almost every person on the planet wants them dead, most with good reason (some just want to take their place).
Well yeah, but even a psychopath’s fantasy would take the no-anti-rejection-meds route.
Oh boy, perpetually recovering from surgery at an advanced age!
I've seen The Strain, this ends in facist vampires and nukes
Our one saving grace in this post truth, post experts aren't Johnny with a 4 chan account world, is that these dictators are so fucking stupid. Let them think they could have multiple organs from multiple "donors". Sad part is we might lose a doctor or two when the bad hit outside the park, was dropped.
I've just had some -ectomies and ooooof that's gonna do him in at his age. It went well when I was young and I still barely survived.
