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!

Lol. I've lied during lie detector tests and still passed.

Hoping our FBI officials are capable of doing the same.

It'd be funnier if they passed while being as sarcastic as possible just to mess with him

[–] AAA@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

I like to imagine that anyone who works at the FBI, and has the opportunity, would try lying at the polygraph for fun.

Of course, "lie detectors" are bunk.

Why do none of these clowns know polygraphs don't work

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Comparing them to clowns is an insult to clowns.

🤡 We demand to be taken seriously.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Because of a general sense in the population that they do work. It's kind of a myth of super competence.

All these fascists are such little weeny piss babies.

And all the alpha bros look up to them, how embarrassing.

He could also use a plethysmograph to see which male staff likes him.

NB: Polygraphs are a hilarious pseudo-science just slightly above palm reading and astrology.

This is great news. This means they are think he is regarded.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I don't think so.

They're weeding out non-loyalists because the fascism is going to be ratcheted up tremendously, and for that to happen, they need people without a conscience. True believers.

A more accurate testing would be to hold his portrait and look for visible signs of disgust

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I'm short, but my cock is huge! Compared to my pinky 😩

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Once again, this isn’t a nottheonion because it’s completely plausible when I read the headline. I think this onion concept may by dead because real life is so fucking dumb

These LIARS are being mean about me!
