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.

I walk my dog with a pocket full of rocks to throw at cars.

Can’t afford bricks. There’s a war on.

Once you collect a poo bag from your dog, you can just throw that.

I actually have a small but bright orange hatchet (I spray it to help keep rust off it and also to make it super easy to spot from the other side of my campsite) I keep on my bag, mostly for Camping, but I use the same bag when I'm on my bike.

I've started keeping it on, and have seemingly had less people giving me shit when I'm biking through town.

I guess I should try for a foam brick.
