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.
-
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 some countries like Spain it is perfectly legal to be fully naked in any public space as long as you are not being sexually explicit. The Euro dude likely assumed this was the case in Italy as well -- I'm actually surprised that they had a problem with somebody in their underwear; it sounds prudish.
I don't know if it was time/place. This was early '80s and I was about 11 years old. I just thought it was pretty funny.
In Germany it can be an administrative offence, §118 OWiG, "Public Nuisance":
It's our "shout fire in a theatre" paragraph and its unspecificness makes for volumes of juridical precedent. I liked the old title better, "Grober Unfug", which more or less translates to "grand monkey business".
In any case cops would first have to check whether the public (not just any random person, them included) is disturbed. Though I don't think that precludes them from telling them to cut it out, that's an inalienable right of any German citizen, police or not.
They can tell them to cut it out, but they can't tell them to cut it out in the name of the law, which they would be doing if they were dressed as a police officer at the time and didn't specifically clarify.
Can they officially instruct them (belehren) that their private self would tell them to cut it out, or is that abuse of office?
For about a year I worked back and forth between Scotland (where I live) and herronberg (sorry for misspellings?). Gorgeous town. I hope to visit again . I know it’s weird to say it with your comment but I’ve never had the chance to say it to an actual German person, your country is fucking beautiful.I’ve had a chance to visit a couple of other places but I don’t know how to spell their names. Phonetically can say them.
I guess in Italy we do have some issue with prudishness, for instance in Milan community swimming pools, and in many other towns too like my small town, it is forbidden to shower without wearing swimsuit and it is also forbidden to be naked in t dressing/undressing rooms.
