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!

So basically, if I'm an enemy nation, all I have to do to gain military secrets, is claim a bunch of people online are wrong. Then hope one of them is in possesion of classified documents, and is also an idiot.

We live in the dumbest timeline.

Standard operating procedure for getting help on Linux tech support is to say that Linux sucks and that it would be way easier to complete a certain task on Windows.
