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:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...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!

The graves on Hart Island are over a century old. NYC is huge and lots of people die without anyone to handle their body. It's unfortunate framing of the island's use when people suddenly wanted to pay attention. The morgue trucks were real to isolate covid bodies, I will add. But the island didn't exactly do anything differently than be a graveyard like it was since the Civil War
