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!

I first heard about the federal-prison mackerel economy in a Wall Street Journal article back from when the WSJ actually did offbeat interesting reporting... Like 15-20 years ago?

Stackable, non-perishable, essentially (but not totally) zero consumption value... Better than bitcoin as a currency.

How is mackerel unperishable?
