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!

Oil and gas companies need the same rules that cigarettes have. Where they aren't allowed to advertise.

After reading a bit about shell on Wikipedia it seems they're quite experienced with greenwashing

So many evil villains in this timeline.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Evil won in this timeline long ago.

This should be illegal

I hope this shit backfires on the streamers. Greedy scum doing the bidding of a company literally on track to destroy the future of most of their audience.

[–] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

How do you do, fellow kids?

[–] splonglo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Lmao shell being more evil and ridiculous than most cartoon villians. Hope these streamers tank their careers.

I assumed anyone still playing Fortnite was now at asement dwelling age and wouldn't vote on things anyway.

Fortnight literally has a reputation for being really popular with kids and teens.

[–] tryptaminev@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah but like 5 years ago. So a sizeable part of the playerbase should be around 18-20 now.

[–] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

No it's still known for being popular with kids and teens. Also 18-20 isn't "basement dweller" age anyway.
