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!

"But I was too drunk to remember doing it!" is an interesting defense. Maybe if he gets a good lawyer they can claim since he didn't take anything, he may have just been drunkenly trying to do business with his bank, without realizing it was closed. Plead it down to drunk and disorderly with a destruction of private property instead of, ya know, trying robbing a bank.

Interesting. Albania called for a ban that same day: https://www.euronews.com/next/2024/12/21/albania-to-ban-tiktok-for-one-year-blaming-it-for-inciting-youth-violence-and-bullying I'm wondering if it was before or after the attempted heist.

I’m gonna guess it wasn’t specifically related, on the sole basis that no government has ever moved that fast about anything, ever
