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.

That's very hard to make a short response to. I like it here, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
I find myself privileged to live here, although other places can have advantages in better climate, cheaper high quality food, and warmer personalities.
But here people are more "real" than most places, we don't do fake praising or other fake behavior as much as most cultures. I like that, but for foreigners it can be difficult.
Thats good to know thanks for that. Looking forward to being a fellow countryman in future!
Need to find Dansk people to practice with online to practice learning Danish. Also, have no clue what I can do to do it quicker but worth it no matter how long it takes
Denmark would definitely make it easier to get my initiative to make all kinds of transportation vehicles with software and hardware open source. Having communities/groups built up to get it off the ground and support healthy growth for it long-term. Heres things I want to cover to make fully open source worldwide:
HSR, Trains, Trams, Bike-Cars, Walking Bikes, Bikes, VTOL's, Airships (Think Disney Treasure Planet but not for space just for planet usage), Mechs (For fun because why not), Boats, Cars, & Submarines
In farther future spaceships, exosuits, AI (Similar to Cortana from Halo), & robots too.
Think Linus Torvalds with Linux but for any kind of transportation is what I am aiming for. But I wouldnt want to run it solo so will want to share ownership with people in some way to get it done and make sure it stays on a good path for all
Best of luck, I'm all for open source, but I fail to see how you can "open source" transportation?
Also you completely lost me at submarines spaceships and exosuits.
