A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

had to dig in the article for the means of transmission between dogs and humans, and could only find it from an article linked inside there that mentions "The disease can spread to humans through canine reproductive fluids, but they can be treated with a long, strong course of antibiotics."
The article here also mentions "two people caught it this year from dogs"
...oh. oh dear
reading further, after the knee-jerk:
half of my loss of faith in humanity from this is restored
Is reproductive liquid what I think it is? You know what, I want to live my life without knowing this.
So really the only people at risk from this are breeders. Good. Fuck dog breeders.
This is what leaving the EU does to a country.
Think the next time you’re voting.
I agree that brexit is awful and was a terrible idea, but i have no idea how not being in the eu affects this
What does any of this do with the UK leaving the EU?
Sir, this is the internet. Any time the UK is mentioned, Brexit MUST be brought up. And 100% of bad things that happen in the UK are due to Brexit.
Exactly, the scorching heat we had this summer? Believe or not it's brexit
It's a joke mate
Woosh!
EVERYTHING!
A lot, it seems
Oh I saw this movie. Children of Men
Yes but Brucella canis just is a flu to human.
