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.

Not surprising when you've got stories like this ...
The 2025 krill season in Antarctica has ended with a record-breaking haul: 518,000 tonnes of krill pulled from the Southern Ocean. That’s over ONE BILLION POUNDS of sea life, removed in a single season.
https://seashepherd.org/2025/08/01/antarctic-krill-harvest-surges/
What Sea Shepard strategically omitted is that there's like 400 million tonnes in the water, and the natural turnover is pretty fast.
There's dummy amounts of krill and not a lot of human uses for them. The fishing industry in general is problematic, but I'd expect literally every other fishery is more heavily exploited.
Antarctic krill isn’t just important for marine life—it’s becoming a key ingredient in human supplements, animal feed, and even skincare products. Rich in Omega-3s, protein, and antioxidants, krill is being used to support heart health, reduce inflammation, and improve overall wellness. In fact, studies show krill oil is easier for the body to absorb than other fish oils, making it a preferred choice for many.

Keep an eye out for a giant space cylinder my friends.

Everyone should be alarmed, Jesus Christ
"Well if the whales don't like that the water's killing them and their food supply, maybe they shouldn't have devolved their legs!"
...That's probably assuming way too much about the average climate denier's scientific knowledge or just overall general intelligence, isn't it?
That would mean they believe in evolution
~~They did. Then they decided to go back to the water.~~
Devolved. Gotcha.
"So long, and thanks for all the fish."
Was looking for this.
If only. It would be less depressing.

Star trek 4 was a documentary
Hello computer!
How quaint.
or the earth stood still.
We are so screwed
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
Only it ends badly because the whales don’t want to talk about it any more. Or can’t talk about it because they’ve been cooked to death.
too much noise from ships.
