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.”

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.

In response, North Dakota has challenged South Dakota to a duel. If North Dakota wins, both states will be combined into The state of 'Dakota'.

If North Dakota wins, both states will be combined into The state of ‘North Dakota’.
And Nebraska will be renamed South Dakota. Then the process repeats. Until the entire earth is Dakota.
