      They are pissed because their PM and most likely other high ranking officials obviously took bribes for this.

    So it’s the Flamingo revolution because the protected area is a native habitat for flamingo. Also today I learned that flamingoes are native to Europe.

      And the flamingo is just the headliner. There’s also seals, turtles, birds, etc

      I live in southern Spain and there are flamenco breeding grounds like an hour drive from me: https://visitasfuentepiedra.es/

      We also have the other flamenco.

        Omg, I had no idea that the word “flamenco” means flamingo in Spanish. Idiot

          It could be worse. I knew flamenco means flamingo and that there’s a Spanish dance called the flamenco, but never made the connection that there could be Spanish flamingos until now.

            Well, to your defence, there are no English lions, yet they’re prominently present in symbols of English culture.

              But knowing us, we’ll just have stolen the lions from another country during our angry-little-man phase :)

          Yes but the name of the dance doesn’t come from the bird. I think it comes from ‘Flemish’, which is also ‘flamenco’ in Spanish.

      Fr, I thought it was like Florida, the Caribbean, South America and Africa before this

        Most pictures of flamingos are the Florida kind because of the color.

        Flamingos (even American ones) aren’t born pink. They’re bright gray and look like ugly storks.

        The main difference between American and African/Eurasian flamingo is the food that they eat. The American shrimps have pigments that are toxic to most animals. Flamingos basically made this into a chili eating contest, where the most red (and surviving) bird won the right to evolution.

        The color goes away if they’re fed other things for a while, so Zoos actually have to dye the food.

      Also, I’m sick of these entitled sacks of bone and smeg being able to do whatever they want. Being told “no” must be a completely alien concept to them.

        Like Trump, Kushner doesn’t care about the environment. His only interest is money.

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.
