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!

JK Rowling being deplorable aside, every time I see someone getting "s l a m m e d" in a headline I feel myself age a week.

It makes me think of the awful time when Australian news became obsessed with "shirtfronted". Shit like this makes a little piece of my brain die every time I remember it.

Never heard this one but I love it. I'm sure it gets old after the 100th time or so.

it's just such a pathetically juvenile way to describe politics. "mr big punches women in face man going to tackle mr hires assassins brutal dictator of maybe the third most powerful country in the world man". Uh huh, I bet he is. As we all know politics is about how much testosterone you can smear from your glands on each other while wrestling and not a largely redundant performing into being of relationships between people orchestrated by thousands.
