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.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Idk, this one is pretty convincing from the one photo, at least on a small screen. If I was looking at the flag I might pick up on something being off, but nothing about the structure of modern social media drives you to look for the tells of artifice, and in fact we've been so conditioned to just sort of tolerate and ignore and accept as real airbrushing and Photoshop and even AI photo and video touch ups to the point where I think it's a lot harder to pick up on.
