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.

Yes, that is my understanding of project 2025.
Can I offer you an encouragement biscuit?
Thank you, but I had therapeutical pizza yesterday.
That sounds delicious. What treatment toppings did you administer?
Rocket, Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto crudo. It helped ease the pain.
Rocket?! To the moon, Elon. The rest of that sounds like woke foreign shit. /s
Qu'ils mangent de la brioche!
Thank you for your kind offer, but before I accept: what am I looking at here?
It's a local pastry. A traditional recipe. I bake it myself.
There is no fixed recipe. It uses plain flour, leavening agent, olive oil, grape alcohol (aguardente), eggs and sugar. The dough itself is to be very low on sweetness.
Everything is mixed together until it forms a heavy batter, that is then spooned onto a oven tray in dollops, sprinkled with sugar, and baked in medium/high pre heated oven.
Goes well with strong, black coffee.
p.s.
Here is another picture.
Portuguese.
We have, technically, two grape alcohols: distilled wine or the distilled leftovers of the wine making process (bagaço).
I was referring to the second one. It's a clear alcohol, with strenght varying from 21% up to 75% (anything above 41% is technically illegal but privates still make the really hard stuff).
It is supposed to be flavour neutral (if it kills your taste buds it does become, along with everything else...) but in reality it still carries some of the flavours of the grapes/wine and it can accentuate other flavours.
It is used as a secondary leavening agent in traditional pastries, especially for very heavy doughs, as the alcohol evaporates and areates the doughs.
