What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Brits will unironically live in a place called cockgobbleton while complaing about the most vanilla porn imaginable.

I guess barely barely legal will become a new porn category

So fucking 1000 dudes is okay but wearing a balaklava and a school uniform is not?

You'd think they would be happier that they are actually wearing clothes.

How many steps till they come for interracial you think?

[–] sylvieslayer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

They can make the age of consent for porn (or any unconventional sexuality) 25, which will also let them slip in their long-mooted plan to make that the age of consent for gender affirming care.
