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.

I've not heard of CanDeath Omens since the Herman Cain subreddit.
I think she was the one telling everyone not to take the vaccine...but was selling ivermectin for an exorbitant amount. Truly a ghoul.
candace will use the gribble defence
As someone who hasn't watched the show since it aired but who has seen it referenced continually on the internet, I definitely expected pocket sand.
Lol he went full sovcit
I hope they win big, and bankrupt that disgusting woman.
As a French speaker, I never understood what those "hon" used when imitating a French person are supposed to represent.
It's supposed to be the sound French people make when they laugh, despite none of the french people I know sounding anything like that.
I think it's part of this weird cultural stereotyping the internet does where someone posts a funny meme with an inaccurate stereotype in it, then a legion of mouth breathers re-post the same meme whenever the nationality in question comes up, then due to repetition people who have never met that nationality thinks its real.
People stopped doing the fake "Ching Chong" false Chinese accent bit ages ago (thank god) but I guess France and the French are still valid targets.
This predates the internet by several decades into the first half of the 20th century.
It's supposed to be a French mocking/pretentious/overconfident laugh. Imagine a dude wearing a beret eating a croissant and smoking a cigarette out of one of those long cigarette holder thingies from the '60s.
Imagine Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast. In fact, im pretty sure he does it a few times in the movie. I think even The Pink Panther (jacques clouseau) does it in the original movies.
It's more directed at the French than French-speakers. It's supposed to be making fun of the (exaggerated) way that French people laugh in movies and shows. It has a nasal component to it.
I've been to French Canada and France and I can confirm nobody actually laughs like that. It's just another dumb way people shit on France.
I live next to French Canada. I can confirm that a not-insignificant number of Quebecois laugh like that
Yea I'm aware it's directed at French people. I'm not French but I have interacted with a lot of French people and I've never heard a laugh that comes close to that.
You asked, I answered. I'm getting the impression you're just here to complain.
Yes, and thank you for your answer.
I have been to France.
It's only an impression. I'm not complaining and I was interested in knowing what those "hon" are supposed to represent. I didn't really expect an answer but I'm thankful for all the answers.
It's just a silly, unfunny joke.
Much like how people joke about Australia being upside down.

I am not a big fan of Macron (Mr, don't know Mrs).
But damn do I wish them to win this one hard.
The crazy thing is the truth about Mrs. Macron and how their relationship started is shameful and twisted enough. Why someone needs to make up false claims to shit-talk her is baffling.
I agree with you... I hope they win big!
Oh boy. You'll be in for a ride if you look up Mrs.
Wasn’t Klandance accused of being trans not too long ago?
I’m generally staunchly against leveraging such things as attack vectors, but in this case, knowing her psychology and politics: have at her. Seriously. Drag her through the”mud” and “malign” her as trans. Serves her fucking right if she gets eaten alive by the maga base.
I would say that just gives another side of pass to do the same thing, but please don’t encourage this
As long as that "mud" is at the bottom of a very deep lake, sea or ocean.
Good for Macron and his wife here.
Take every last penny she has.
