Police said the cause of the accident is still under investigation. The monks told investigators that they saw the vehicle swerving before it slid off the road and crashed into them.

    Man, this sucks all around. What an awful end for the monks, and now this kid is going to forever have their deaths on his conscience all for a stupid decision.

        Your comment got me curious to look up more information. (For anyone curious, I found an article with more info here.) He also drove 10 kilometers before the accident.

        I’m glad he wasn’t doing this maliciously, but wow, this kid’s going to need some intense therapy to get through this.

    When asked why they didn’t change course when they saw the truck heading for them, the monks replied that change must come from within.

        For anyone wondering why HairyTeeth keeps digging deeper proverbial holes in later replies, it’s because they haven’t developed enough empathy to overcome their need for attention. This means that they’re either: a young child finding their voice on the internet, or mentally ill.

        Either way, keep the kid gloves on when interacting with them

            You sound uptight. You should chill out, maybe meditate.

            I know knew some guys who could have helped with that.

              I’m not mad at you. Cuz I used to be like you, thinking edgy jokes made me look cool.

              You’re funny tho, i’ll give you that. But you should know when not to joke.

                And I used to be like you, then an 11 year old ran me and my fellow monks over with a car.

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.
