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!

We've avoided world wars by allowing conflicts to fester around the globe. I'd be curious whether the death toll would be higher had there been a world war, but I guess there's still plenty of people left to die in forgotten places like Sudan so the calculation will have to wait.

Pretty sure the fallout from WW3 is gonna hurt everyone everywhere...war in Sufan is still a pretty long way off from a death toll in the billions.
