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!

It makes me wonder if she says things like, "hello, black person. Is this the line for the post office?"

Wasn't that a bit in a movie? Maybe the one where the family got locked in a nuclear bunker and thought the apocalypse happened? The dad comes out and says something like "look son! A <Spanish word for the color "black">"?

Or maybe it was the other way. Yeah...I think it was the adult-child, who lived his whole life in the bunker, that said that.

Sounds like blast from the past, but I haven't seen it in so long I don't remember that...
