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!

honestly maybe when we portray it to the billionaires that Earth is the only place where we can make children they'll stop fantasising about terraforming Mars and perhaps helps with the mess already here

Nah, they'll advocate for big container ships to move the "undesirables" off world.
