The Rules

...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.

Well slamming means closing a door so it also means protects.

It is, unfortunately, a property of the English language that every word means everything.

Slamming means closing something hard. It has an exclusively negative connotation unless you're talking about sex, I guess.

Good point! Not protecting, but definitely a positive connotation.
