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!

Grabs their attention is right, until next Thursday when something else does and we're back to business as usual. I wouldn't call it "having a direct effect" I would call it a very temporary delusion of one.

You're right, nothing ever happens and I should kill myself.

Your conclusion not mine. Another approach would be to search for ideas that might actually change things, and work on those.
