Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Glad I can be of help! I'm not overly involved in US politics, but I vaguely recall there being some form of "black US Flag" going about which did have some horrible connotations, so I can sort of see how you jumped to this conclusion that it was some form of dogwhistle 🤣 I cannot find any meaning of a five starred flag either, so my best guess is aesthetic. I thought more would look nice, but maybe that would make the production cost a whopping 11% of $300 rather than 10% 🤣
