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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Neat lyrics (I love "welcome to the Internet"), a little off-topic though. Did Lemmy attach your comment to the wrong thread?

Oh, I was inspired by the title of the Guardian article for my comment.

Oh, duh, that makes sense. I was thrown off by the lyrics about food waste.
