thereisnews.com is a satirical site and not actual news

edited out unecessary stuff

I mean, I'd believe that both someone else did it and someone couldn't get out after.

Disappointed. I was hoping for a new age of creative low-casualty terrorism.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I know what you're saying, but the idea of this terrifying someone is pretty funny.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It would terrorize only exactly the ones we need to terrorize the most.

huh?

I first added a link to "https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/02/11/fact-check-viral-ikea-story-social-distancing-arrows-satire/6709720002/"

and said that the page is allegedly a satirical site.

but the site says that it's satirical on the frontpage, so it wasn't really nessecary to have all of that 😅

Ah, I understand. I do think the edit note is a bit confusing and unnecessary, though

Old reddit habbit 😅

Woo!

This makes me happy! I've been working to re-engage my skepticism, and called this one!
