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!

I had forgotten honestly.
Buzzfeed animation has great animated shorts like Chikin Nuggit and Life of Boe.

But that's an oxymoron?
BuzzFeed was actually doing very solid investigative journalism after it got over its listicle phase.
Is this the same platform I read about a couple days ago that was supposed to compete against the other social media sites by being an "only positive" community?
