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.

Holy shit. Russians are serious about their eggs!
Look, it isn't hard to substitute eggs in recipes. You can use applesauce, banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, or tofu. (To be fair, though, I don't know what those cost in Russia as compared to eggs.)
He apologized about eggs?
What the absolute ever loving fuck? Sending hundreds of thousands of his own people to a meat grinder he can stop right now, but eggs he can apologize for?
Where's the strongman?
In that case, it's sad that he doesn't think the Russian people would revolt over sending hundreds of thousands of them to die in a pointless war.
He just has to select the right people to send to stay in power
No, but sending hundreds of thousands of able and almost able bodied poor men to die is a good way to prevent violent revolution
It's something that affects average Russian people.
Don't you remember when Americans were bitching about the price of eggs a few years ago? Basic ingredients are like gas. People notice when they go up in price.
It was a single year ago that they went crazy. But this has been a weird time to keep track of time
I don't get it - he funds American conservative politicians who have no trouble saying people shouldn't rely on the government to solve their problems. Why not just say the same thing here? Especially since he can throw anybody who complains out the nearest window.
People dying in a war are to make Russia great and defend itself from the outside world. Or something like that and anyway who gives a fuck when it's not you and just some other random Russian who's probably a criminal anyway.
But eggs fuck that affects me and shows how shit the country is. Now that's a serious issue!
Blood is an excellent substitution as well
And human blood can be vegan!
I ... On the one hand I'm pretty sure humans are considered animals, on the other hand, if vegans can't eat anything or buy any product that was made using the exploitation of animals including humans that... Pretty much rules out everything purchased under capitalism and most other systems too.
If you cook with your own blood, no animal was exploited because you freely consented.
You can even make meringue with blood!
Eggs are also generally a very economical source of protein, usually.
The day I have to eat poached applesauce is also the day I overthrow my government.
Pickled applesauce just doesn't go as well with water glasses of vodka.
You can't invade neighboring countries on a vegan diet
Well, not with that attitude.
