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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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!

I genuinely thought this was hyperbolic satire.

EDIT: Outlet has edited headline since time of posting.

I mean all that PTSD is why America had the prohibition in the first place.
Wives were getting abused by their husbands back from the war and said they seemed on edge and worse than before... So, "it must be the booze and not shellshock cause they are tougher than that".

The world changes and reacts to its new conditions its just a shame people are morons and evil little shits 8 times out of 10.
