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!

"Media outlet gives attention to delusional conman with nothing valuable to say" is like 90% of news articles now.

Wow. What a load of crap

5 2024 predictions:

  1. AI self-awareness and robot uprising
  2. WW3
  3. Global catastrophe
  4. Alien contact
  5. Asteroid colliding into Earth, but with new materials we've never seen which causes economic war.

My favorite bit is at the end where he says these are just predictions the future is uncertain.

This is literally the plot of Command & Conquer games.

As with all predicters, you throw 1000 things at the wall and 1 will probably stick. No one remembers the 999 fsiled ones.

After reading that article, I have no idea why anyone listens to the absolute tripe this bloke is throwing around.

I’d say he has a perfect track record - 0.00%

Seriously vice, what do you think your target audience is? 5 years olds?

What's next, unicorns?

Considering most Americans read at a child's level, I think they're right about their target audience.

Well it's never so bad it can't get worse.

Vice’s transformation is now complete.
