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!

Man, BBC really scraping the bottom of the barrel for content here 😄
In Denmark we call it "cucumber times", when the news have nothing to report on during summer. BBC seems to have taken that term very literally.
Ha! Thats amazing
I heard a piece about it on NPR as well.
Probably from the BBC.
