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.

This airport tried to be cutesy and put up a sign limiting "hug time" instead of a more generic time limit. Have you ever heard of a "full English breakfast"? We'll tell you all about it. There's a café in Tokyo which discourages socializing. Find out why! People in China have pets. Isn't that cute! Here's a great tourist attraction in Turkey! Not into that? How about a video game museum in Kyoto instead? Or a theme park in Orlando? But why stop there? Here are some other links to random news tidbits.

It's like one of those daytime TV talk shows in text form.

This sounds like it was written by an AI chatbot.

People in China have pets.

So many strange cultural traditions over there!
