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!

Jarman and 11 other finalists were tasked with playing a simulated game of World of Warcraft via spreadsheet

How did he manage to fit the award ceremony into his busy schedule of having sex with beautiful models? ...Probably with a spreadsheet, now I think about it.

We can leave our company database in his hand.

Our company database is an excel sheet.

I find it stunning that some people are so intelligent. Excel isn't merely a matter of memorizing rules and lots of practice/experience. You truly have to be sharp as hell to get on this kinda level.

Michael Jarman, pictured between two people...

That's a funny photo caption.

"Michael Jarman, ceremonially situated between two distinguished event representatives,"

"Michael Jarman, strategically positioned in a central location with one individual stationed to his immediate left and another to his immediate right,"

The article embedded what appears to be the entire tournament… Nearly 7 1/2 hours lol.
