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!

Really as a scientist you can be smart enough to discover such a thing, but apparently that's no guarantee you're also smart enough to keep it to yourself

Now, I know why women I approach were inexplicably dead. They weren't dead, they were playing dead to avoid me.

On the internet, nobody knows you're really a frog

Sounds like my wedding night!

Haha. That was my wedding night. Funny and sad in equal measure.
