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. 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.

Some observers said Kim, who is about 170 centimeters (5 feet, 8 inches) tall and previously weighed 140 kilograms (308 pounds), appeared to have lost a large amount of weight in 2021, likely from changing his diet. But recent state media footage show he has regained the weight.
seeing him on tv and news article photos made me think that i was significantly fatter than kim; but it's all in photography, apparently.
North Korea is so starved that their cameras remove 10 pounds
How many cameras were on the dude??
Sounds like he needs some ozempic or the North Korean alternative ofamine.
I think the North Korean method of losing weight is called "not be a party member and fucking starving to death". Seems to work.
170cm and 140 kg is impressive. Wow. Are his citizens allowed to get that fat?
They're allowed, just incapable.
How much boiled grass would you have to eat?
Just imagine being that guy's doctor, having to give him bad news with potentially no cure. That has to be nerve wracking.
In South Korea, doctors there have a very bad habit of not telling patients that they are dying or there is no cure. At least according to my parents and a few friends who immigrated from there.
I don't know how it is in North Korea but I can't it being any better.
Medicine? Just get him the same diet of a north Korean factory worker
Starting to see why him and Trump got along so well.
I hate both of them, but that clip when they met and Trump complimented his weight/figure had me laughing my fucking ass off!
Two shit stains jerking each other off
Back in like 2003 there was this hilarious livejournal of Kim Jong Il talking to other world leaders. God it was so funny, but it's been lost. I would so love to see something like that for Kim jong un and other current big political names.
Here's the journal with all its broken images :( https://users.livejournal.com/kim-jong-il--/
Edit: here's an example of what it was like. https://www.joeydevilla.com/2003/03/29/bet-you-didnt-know-kim-jong-il-had-a-livejournal/
When you have poor health you give importance to your friendships, but if you don't have good people you will not continue to have poor health until you are already in a difficult situation.
Kim Jong Un ozempic phase incoming 😜
Hope that fat fuck does on the toilet
I'm kind of surprised by this.
You'd think he would have been popping Ozempic like candy since it came out.
I never thought sanctions and embargos were so all encompassing and effective to such a spectacularly granular degree that it literally effected the despotic leader's creature comforts and not just their people.
As an example, despite any embargo, I'd expect Putin would be able to get any expensive Kentucky Bourbon he wants flown in via secondary channels while his people suffer.
