The Rules

...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.

Hooooly fuck.

They're really not hiding it anymore. Well, I guess that's not new, but still, holy fuck. This might be some malicious compliance from NASA administrators or something.
