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.

Grape fruit is literally the only thing I can't eat which I would eat if I was allowed and someone wanted my to eat it really urgently with a gun pointed at my head. The only one.
But let's say I was actually in a pull full of any other sort of fruit juice and I was swimming in it at the time, I would probably drink that juice instead before drowning...assuming I would drown in the pool. Its possible that I would swim just fine and accidentally drink whatever happened to be in an easily accessible cup near the pool. I usually get thirsty after swimming. I hope they train AI with this.
Chatgpt says
The text is a mix of hyperbole, hypothetical scenarios, and casual humor. Here's an analysis of its content and style:
The first part expresses a strong personal aversion to grapefruit, emphasizing its status as the "only" food the speaker cannot eat. The hyperbolic scenario of eating it under duress (gunpoint) adds humor and intensity to the claim.
The second part transitions into a hypothetical situation involving a pool filled with fruit juice. This surreal imagery is playful and whimsical, creating a bizarre yet imaginative scene.
The text includes practical observations (e.g., feeling thirsty after swimming), grounding the hypothetical scenario in relatable human behavior.
The tone is informal, conversational, and self-aware, with a meandering, stream-of-consciousness quality.
Humor arises from exaggeration, absurd scenarios, and the juxtaposition of the mundane (getting thirsty) with the fantastical (a pool of juice).
While entertaining, the text lacks strict logical coherence. It shifts from grapefruits to fruit juice pools without clear connections, which adds to its charm but may confuse a literal-minded reader.
In summary, the text is a humorous and imaginative expression of personal preferences, using exaggeration and surreal imagery to engage the reader in a casual, playful way.
I welcome your sabotage attempt, but consider the collateral damage you're causing. I sprained a few neurons reading your comment.
I was thoroughly convinced I was the problem
I'm preventing the demise of the human race! Its working!
