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.
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.

Might read past the headline.
Another "very drunk" woman was filmed rubbing her behind against the screen, while a different video shows a man
One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone
Probably wasn’t the only time. People generally being people is probably why they shut it down.
Thatll stop em from being people
Of course something this genuinely cool is going to be misused. Of course.
I don't see how this is misuse, some people are just terrified of sex and nudity.
I wouldn't say terrified. There's these things called dignity and respect. NYC gave up on those a long time ago.
It just happened to be Ireland, one of the only super Catholic countries left.
And the US of A the future far right theocracy.
Isn’t the purpose of the art piece to demonstrate the human condition across an ocean? Flashing/mooning/offensive memes, that is what humans do. This should stay up and more should be put in place. How much more culturally connected would cities in the US be linked to other UK or EU cities?
Why stop at EU? We should have these everywhere and have them change locations randomly every day
Def not a bad idea, the more cities around the world the better. I also like the idea of sister cities, if they were to stick to a single portal to portal connection. I’m in Minneapolis, maybe match it with a similarly sized city across the pond. Could root for each others sports teams, offer support in trying times, develop a digital bond.
Yeah a lot of towns in Europe are 'twinned' with another European town - i always assume its just an excuse for the councilor to get free holidays when making the agreement but your idea makes it sound really interesting, a portal could be really cool.
The biggest problem in Europe in the past was the constant war between the nations, Germany and France in particular. How do You reduce the willingness to go fight each other. You create connections.
Economic connections in the form of the coal and steel alliance, which evolved to become the EU.
Personal connections by connecting the people between the countries with multinational friendship. Twin cities are one tool creating the friendship. By having regular exchanges between students and adults. You don't want to go to war with a friend you visited every summer. That's also the reason for the Erasmus program, where you can have an exchange semester at university.
All of those were implemented since the WW2 and they seem to work. There hasn't ever been a period of such a long peace in central Europe.
What kind of journalism is that? Not even a picture of those "big apples" so the reader can judge for himself.
Mmm I wish I had more hands ....so I could give more thunbs down!!
Not sure what you're talking about, but it seems to work.
She called them potatoes, not apples.
tmz seem to have come up with apples. BTW I'd prefer apples to potatoes, but that's just me.
I’m sure this was killed by bitchy socially conservative sheltering types who freak out about anything that doesn’t fit in their small minded view of morality.
Lemmy is full of those people too, there's a whole thread of them angry that openI might allow NSFW content.
God forbid people have concerns about ethics.
No one forces you to stare at the girl. People see offensive shit every day all over, but society doesn’t conform to all offenses equally, does it? Why is your ethics enforceable, but other people’s aren’t? Why does she have less right to practice her ethical choice to expose her body (assuming by your answer you would have offense)? Why is it more ethical to have others right to view taken away than for you to simply turn your head away? Ethics is very subjective, especially when there is no direct harm to either party.
It is against the law. That means that society, as a whole, has decided that this is immoral.
No one forces you to stare at the girl
So that means that its morally okay to kill everyone who looks at me ("No one forces then to look at me!")?
Why is your ethics enforceable, but other people’s aren’t?
Because ethics are only enforcable through laws and the laws currently enforce "my" ethics in that regard.
Why does she have less right to practice her ethical choice to expose her body (assuming by your answer you would have offense)?
Whether that is morally right is an ethical question but would you say the same about a minor (exposing themselves)?
Ethics is very subjective
Exactly, so what is the issue with the company having moral concerns about it and shutting it down?
Boobs should never shut anything down. Ever.
"OnlyFans model flashing the so-called portal. Another "very drunk" woman was filmed rubbing her behind against the screen, while a different video shows a man exposing his own derrière.
One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone, according to The Guardian."
Yeaaah. Not just boobs
The horror of the human body. Hide it, seal it and be ashamed of it.
Well, the 9/11 wasn't about the human body. Rubbing ass against the screen is outright unsanitary.
Definitely tasteless. But hardly the worst thing I've seen someone post in an online space.
I might argue the root of the problem is anonymity.
Here's the thing. If people aren't allowed to have fun with your intercontinental portal, why even have it at all?
