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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...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!

MODERATORS
1: accept money to show ads that violate your own terms and conditions
2: remove legitimate content exposing your double standards using the ads that you were successfully paid to allow as a pretense
3: remove every link to articles critical of you containing so much as a textual reference to the fact that humans have bodies, citing "nudity"
4: threaten journalists with expulsion if they don't take the hint and shut up
5: ???
6: profit. To the tune of dozens of billions of dollars a year, eclipsing the individual GDP of over half of all countries and the GDP of the 20 poorest countries COMBINED.
I wonder if any friends of Luigi have access to Zuckerberg's itinerary..
Dont we know where their jet is?
Unrelated: if "bird strikes" can bring down a jet, what happens if a drone makes its way into a jet engine?
When oligarchs talk about "free speech" they mean their own ability to disseminate propaganda. They never mean the ability of others to criticise them.
Important story, but not really “oniony”. This is the new normal unless you’ve been living under a rock.
Personally, I've long since adopted as my criteria "this would be satire in a sane world".
Otherwise, there'd hardly be ANYTHING that qualifies anymore 🤷
