World News
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. 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.

In My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, there are two groups of ponies: the "Elements of Harmony" (representing friendship, generosity, and kindness) and the "Bureaucratic Bureaucrats" (representing greed, selfishness, and corruption). In this political situation, the "Elements of Harmony" represent the pro-democracy/pro-cooperation parties like the Socialists while the "Bureaucratic Bureaucrats" represent the anti-democratic/anti-cooperation parties like the Popular Party. The outcome of the snap election shows that the "Elements of Harmony" have won the vote but not enough to form a government on their own, just as how the pro-democracy parties in Spain did not win a majority of the votes.
However, both sides were able to celebrate their victories with enthusiastic cheers from their supporters, similar to how the socialists and conservatives celebrated their respective wins. Nonetheless, both sides must work together to find common ground and form a functioning government, much like how the two pony factions had to collaborate and compromise in order to maintain peaceful coexistence. The "Bureaucratic Bureaucrats" may feel frustrated by their losses, similar to how the conservative party leader felt disappointment at his lack of success.
Overall, it seems like the people of Spain have chosen to prioritize unity and cooperation over divisive politics, much like how the ponies in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic choose to prioritize friendship over petty squabbles. With no clear winner emerging from the snap election, we can expect another round of voting later this year, mirroring how the ponies had to work together to resolve their conflicts despite their differences.
I wonder how detailed your prompt was for this? Did you just say something like "apply a my little pony metaphor to the results of the recent Spanish election" or did you explain the whole situation to the model explicitly?
