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.

Were American cans of normal sizes, not American ones? Or Canada uses the Imperial system for beer?
Imperial. Our cans are 355 ml (12oz) or 473ml (16oz / 1 pint) whereas European ones are generally 330ml and 500ml.
Oh European ones are 500ml I always thought it was only because of shrinkflation that those became smaller. TIL
Nope, it's a standard pint, ~~same as you'd get in an English pub~~! Same deal with those 946ml containers which are a quart, not a shrinkflated litre.
a British pint is 568mL
Australian pint is 570ml.
Those last 2 ml are the worst tho.
*Except in South Australia, where it's 425mL.
They barely count as Australian though.
Oops, right, 20oz. I always forget that. Canada often has both sizes on tap.
Except most of us will call one a real pint and the other an American pint, lol
half a pint, and a full pint.
I much prefer smaller beer cans (330ml or 355ml) over the 500ml and up. I find that I do not drink a beer fast enough for the large can. Having the last 1/3 of the beer be warm and flat is a major turn off!
If you actually like beer, you should know that warmer beer (or anything else) actually allows you to taste it better. There's a reason Budweiser is served so damn cold. There's a lot of beers I prefer to be around room temperature.
I’ve tried many different beers. Loved some, hated others. I do not drink Budweiser, I drink Canadian and European beer.
I’ve never had a beer in my life that tasted better when warm. If I want a warm drink I’ll drink coffee or tea.
Ice cream also tastes a lot stronger when warm. I doubt many people prefer warm ice cream.
That's fine. It's a preference thing whether you like it or not. Warmer things you can taste better though. For example, usually good sake is drank warm and bad sake is drank cold.
Personally, saisons I like to be warmer. It really helps their smell and flavor come through. I don't mean warm though, just warmer. Around room temperature or so.
That's why ze Germans have those mugs with the lid. I think anyway.
We use a mix of the 2 systems. The cans are 355ml for normal size. Tall boys depend on the company.
Are they not all 16oz/473mL?
