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!

That was likely where it originated.
But no, a ton of them today legit mean reptilian people. Like they'll get all excited about YouTube videos where there's a reflection in a celebrity's eyes from their reptilian eye or some crap.
And then this has since further devolved into modern theories around clones and skinsuits and people pretending to be other people.
Entire threads dedicated to examining moles between photographs to point out how it's really a different person.
Social media effectively constricting our functional difference has turned us into John B Calhoun's rats.
