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!

Life began about a billion years ago and it's a continuous, ongoing process.

So what is this? Some kind of anti masturbation law?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's what it looks like. Yeesh.

Absolutely ridiculous, is what it is. Everybody does it.

This could absolutely be used to keep prisoners in prison, and also probably criminalize gay men.

(a) Donated or sold to a facility for the purpose of future procedures to fertilize an embryo;

This means it's legal to pull out and fill a jar to donate to such a facility.

Whether they accept donations from the bank of Cream and Loan is another story though.

It is Mississippi, what did you expect? Mississippi is one of the core Southern states.

Well, I kind of expected people to click the link to know why he filed it :(

The target obscure British comedy group named after the pet snake of one of their WW2 generals wrote a song about this exact situation:

He's screwing with conservatives, yes.

This will only effect incel wet dreams

Wouldn't this make more sense as "conception"?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not if you understand what satire is.

To be fair, the article doesn’t give his party affiliation and if you’re just scrollin’ on by this sounds like it could easily be from a RWNJ who believes masturbation and sex for funsies are sins and the bible should be law. Wikipedia says he’s a dem; I know nothing about him but the quote from him doesn’t read to me as ‘every sperm is sacred.’ Then again it is Mississippi so before reading the actual bill I was only 51% sure it was satire.
