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!

It's Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.
Martial Law and Marital Law is the one that always gets me.
There's a joke in there about strict curfews and domineering personalities, but I can't be bothered to flesh it out.
No, that's martial arts. Martial law involves less improvisation and adaptability. However, it loses to martial science.
Everyone knows it is Martian Law
Now that explains Musk’s obsession with getting to Mars.
Then the few people who don't are very prolific commenters because it's a mistake I see often.
Spread the word!
oh man, I knew that. I dunno why i said marshal law lol. Mustn't have been paying enough attention.
