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!

I would love to know exactly how much time and money went into coming up with the word "Ham-mas" itself.

I bet it was the same person who came up with the name of the workplace on Archer.

Pissed off some ancient Greek God and is now cursed to come up with amazing names and slogans that will become touch of death within months. Doomed to roam the earth from marketing group to marketing group. When he dies his tombstone will read "here lies the man who named it The Dangerous Life of Altarboys"
