    It’s funny because I hate everyone involved in this conflict. Iran, Israel, USA. They are all the same. Would not mind seeing some more dead dictators.

      Sometimes, I don’t agree with any of it and just eat popcorn and watch.

      This one though, I feel like I’m just watching and waiting for the other shoe to drop.

        I’m hoping for regime change in any of those countries, but sad for the people dying. The girl school explosion is heart-rending. I feel for the parents.

      Or at least kick them out now, seeing how useless they are, and even get directly hit by missiles, let alone protect its surroundings.

      This is the British meaning of surgeon, so just general doctor vs. doctor who cuts people up.

      A police surgeon is a doctor trained in forensics. They assess injuries after an assault, whether a prisoner needs medical attention, etc. They are often a normal operating doctor who does police work when needed.

        The US also has ‘surgeon general’, likewise not typically doing any cutting.

        That sounds similar to what would be called a “medical examiner” in the US.

        Wait, is there a specific term for a doctor who primarily operates in British English?

          There’s some differences. For example a surgeon in British English can be called Mr instead of Dr.

      It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.

      …and no, I have no clue about what a police surgeon is either.

        Probably “medical examiner” or similar medical doctor that does work for the police to determine things like cause of death and other injuries possibly obtained while dying.

          From British English, that the world uses, to US English, that is foisted upon everyone by the loudest person in the room.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • 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.

  • 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 OCTOBER 19 2025

  • 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.
