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!

I remember biking all over as a kid. I didn't tell my parents where I was going. Might head off into the bluffs or to the shopping center or to a friend's house or to a convenience store or along some bike trails. I sure went further than a mile.

And we didn't have cell phones or whatever back then either.

I don't feel that I was neglected.
