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!

"Pokemon creature" is the most inhuman way to say that.

It's Breloom, for those that want to know what Pokemon without reading the article.

Figures, breloom totally looks like it kills CEOs

They dislike humans in their territory, but will not attack unless provoked. They almost always fight when they sense danger.

If you can't build Spinda up without tearing every other Pokemon down, you don't truly respect it.

You don't know what it's like being a Spinda fan...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Neither do you, it seems. You're not a Spinda fan, you're a not-Spinda hater.

He has a Breloom on a social media profile.

Memes coming out of this have been pretty good, tbh.

Lol bullet seed hit three times and was super effective

Hilarious

That’s led to a variety of theories about what 286 could mean, including one post on X with more than 22 million views that implies the number points to a health insurance code about denied coverage.

Every real number is associated with denied health insurance coverage.

Maybe this, but the Proverbs explanation is more convincing. Also, I agree he might just be a Breloom fan.

People asking why someone posted a picture of a pokemon to social media. It's can't just be that he likes Breloom or anything.

Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways

Proverbs 28:6
