You just need to move the hyphen:
Kim Jung un-bans hotdogs for North Koreans
That's actually what I read the first time.
According to Radio Free Asia...
We find the real source of the story buried near the bottom to avoid embarrassment. Must have been a slow news day in New Zealand 🤣 🤣 🤣
Seems I guessed that right from the headline. There's plenty to shit on, like their soldiers being sent to the Ukrainian meat grinder. But when you see "country bans cheap food" or "country requires kim jong haircuts for everyone", don't be gullible.
NZ Herald is borderline tabloid. They just want the clicks. And then paywall some articles. And I'm pretty sure they were the ones caught using ChatGPT to write articles. I'm in NZ and actively avoid them.
When Kim Jong-un goes on a diet, everyone goes on a diet!
TBF everyone is always on a diet even when he isn't
He's literally the fattest man in a starving country. Figuratively too.
Naw, he wants them all for himself.
How do people keep up with all these petty laws? If my country banned hotdogs there's a decent chance I'd miss the announcement and accidentally put a frankfurter in a bun. I could miss it completely and I have internet! How does your average person on North Korea find out about this ban on putting sausages in bread?
They don't because this is obviously fake...

it gets clicks and they're an easy target so they just say whatever they think will get the most clicks.
Ignoring the question of whether this is real, you'd probably find out when you can't find them at the store, order from your supplier, etc.
Basically, it would get noticed earlier in the supply chain.
Seems the government would control any hot dog factories anyway
Or this is food smuggled in, which I imagine would already be illegal.
It helps that everyone is corrupt and a general sense of displaying loyalty is more important than any supposed law on it's own.
This is actually the default way civilisation works - Western-style rule of law is new and weird.
That Buttigieg looks pretty tasty.
Divorce is considered an anti-socialist act
I would argue it's quite socialist. Return the pussy to the people.
We joke about hotdogs being mystery meat, but North Korean hotdogs have to be a terrifying enigma of amalgamated animal proteins.
Damn he is really listening to Kennedy Jr.
Scrounging around for components for their nukes I see..
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
