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!

There is a How I Built This podcast that interviews the founder. He was in marketing/advertising as a creative his entire career before he started the company. Actually, he didn’t even have enough money to make the first batch, so he created a video and Facebook page that went viral and got him enough interest and actual orders to prove to investors that they should fund him.
