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!

Now I'm getting ideas to leave an Amazon box full of these on my porch

You might get some enjoyment out of Mark Rober's series where he builds contraptions to mess with porch pirates. Nothing directly harmful like wasps, but he builds a box that basically records the thief, glitter bombs them, sprays bad smells, and in some later iterations, has an ominous countdown and fake police radio.

He also tries to catch some people who break into parked cars the same way, but with much less success as they turned out to be a lot more organized and scarier.

Getting them in there may be tricky

Just vacuum them with the box. Problem solved.

You just order them from Amazon and don't bring the package
