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!

That's the problem with living in the weirdest timeline: reality is more satirical than fiction.

I basically go by the "this would be an Onion headline in a sane world" criteria.

Because "crazy person acted rationally and within established norms" is frankly not a fascinating read nor THAT surprising when the last person in the room with him is sometimes either a rational person or someone wanting reasonable things for unreasonable reasons.
