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.

Hey you just described the requirement of corn whiskey? Anyone can distill a spirit that could be called Bourbon, but they can’t, since it wasn’t bottled in the USA.
The only difference between a corn whiskey is bourbon is bottled in the USA, but try to make it sound better than it is. It’s a corn whiskey, bottled in the USA.
No, not all whiskeys are required to be fermented in a new charred oak barrels. That's what produces the typical smokey flavor associated with bourbon. All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. That's like saying all other grain whiskey that doesn't use corn is Scotch.
…
If you make an aged oak spirit in the UK, it would be a corn whiskey, that exact same spirit in the USA would be Bourbon.
Thank you for the being the stereotypical ignorant American who thinks bourbon is unique.
That’s it, it’s literally a USA ego thing.
Also, scotch is a terrible example, that’s another unique one, it’s made in Scotland only…. You really don’t know your whiskey history at all do you?
Yes, it must be made in the us. Scotch also has to be made in Scotland. But nobody is out here saying it's Scottish ego. They just know the flavor profile of scotch. But you can make similar things elsewhere, true.
That’s because Scotland isn’t making it part of their identity like USA did dude….
Also, the USA has their own bullshit version, single malt whiskey. Of course they would try and copy while refusing to let others -.-
Lol, what? You are just riding on some xenophobia tip or something. You know the fact that there is a ton of American whiskey that is not called bourbon kinda disproves your whole prejudice, right? Whatever, keep stewing in it I guess.
