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:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...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!

This is pedantic but it annoys me every time I hear someone say it, let alone see it in writing: amphetamine can be plural; methamphetamine never is. Meth is an amphetamine, technically a substituted amphetamine, one of several such amphetamines.

Would you like the Large MethDouble combo or just the meth?

No no, you misunderstand. I am trying get some narcotic. As one does.

That's what a narc would say! Pinky promise you ain't a cop so I know you're good?!?!?

If I was a cop I would have to ~~shoot~~ tell you. I promise, we good. Now, are you going to sell said illicit drug for money?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Okay but you're probably going to want more.

Sorry, what's the action you want corrected?

I don't want to look like a idiot if I ever buy no no drugs.

Please trust me when I say that buying meth, if you never have, is dumber than anything I was talking about.

That said, the fine folk distributing meth aren't exactly the shiniest crystals in the batch.
