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!

My guess is it's really a 40-year-old morbidly obese man in his skidmark underwear living in his mother's basement that has never worked a job before.

I have a sudden reminder of those women in medieval times that claimed they heard the word of God. Random young women who had people captivated, but ultimately were talking nonsense

The secrets are right there, you just need to know how to decode them! And for 12 monthly low payments of 999.99, I'll show you how!

It's about damn time. These things used to be 100% boomer men.

QAnon embracing diversity and inclusiveness. Gotta love it

Knowing what cults often do when their leaders are young, teenage girls, this is incredibly sad and disturbing.

QAnon are notoriously obsessed with pedophilia, so no surprise that they make this claim.

No. He's supposed to come back from the dead.

Because.... Something about the government wanted to kill him and he's been in hiding but somehow he was going to reveal himself and tell everyone that Trump is the true president (yeah I know it doesn't make any damn sense on many levels).
