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!

Amazing that we, as a species, are incapable of learning from history.

I mean there's a reason there's warning labels on everything about not doing the most obvious thing you should never do.

Not everyone reads the same stuff we do.

Which sucks. But that's why.

I think it will eventually happen. But centuries away.
