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.
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.

Well done those people. Not easy to do in authoritarian and Zionist Britain.
I'm certain they will be called anti-semites.
Bet they're going to be accused of being terrorist supporters.
i'd like to congratulate them on renaming themselves
they passed the test so many others have failed
they have now ruined that name of course
so what do we do, people?
probably come out in protest for People Against Genocide knowing that diverse crowd
don't do it - use a different name
Wear facerec-defeating headwear and above all, leave your portable telescreen at home!
And they will face more consequences than the genocidal fucks in Israel, what a great world we live in
Burn the building down
Abseiled? Someone brought out the thesaurus for this one
Thesaurus? Someone brought out the glossary for this one
The benefits of not living somewhere that’s dumbed-down the language to a series of woops and y’alls.
Quite the supercilious response pal
And with a superfluous and grammatically incorrect hyphenation, to boot!
Isn't that correct?
In the US it's generally called rappelling - abseiling is derived from the german term, but it's seldom used in the states.
Conversely, in Australia I've only ever heard 'Rappelling' in US movies, the common term is Abseiling here.
Yep, I've never really heard Rappelling used in the commonwealth countries (outside of super tourist-y areas).
I don't know if it's just a me thing, but I think of rappelling as being against a surface, while if you do it in the open air it's abseiling (though you could call it abseiling against a surface too).
Their brains are too busy trying to understand the farenheit scale and using the imperial system.
Edit: these cunts have a worse sense of humour than the Germans. I look forward to the fall of their empire tbh.
Made pickles today, food scale is in grams. Yay correct salinity, also git fukt furner

I hope that isn’t one of the activist’s blood all over the place
