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!

True, but now and then, stupid shit by stupid people pays off:

"Let's use this raft and head for open waters" -> discovers hawaii
"I'm sick of foraging. Imma dive into the water and pry open that thing on the rock down there" -> Oysters
"Why the fuck are you burning perfectly good mammoth?" -> BBQ

The idea is that you should die and not further your genes if you do such idiotic things (that's the premise of the Darwin awards), this guy is very stubbornly not dying!
