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!

I don't really do the shame thing, it doesn't work whatsoever on the shameless, which is a very high percentage of the global population unfortunately.

Regardless, the question is not whether we're normalizing it, but whether it is their pattern of behavior or not. Not that it's acceptable, but that it's predictable. Just because they don't act how other people act doesn't mean everything they say seems like satire. Imo at least.
