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!

I’m slightly ashamed to admit it but I actually went fishing for the most clickbaity headline on this story to post to this community. It’s not just a right wing rag talking about it, they just had the most oniony headline

Perfectly understandable, given the circumstances 😄

My profile says I’ve made 2.2k posts and I’m pretty sure this is the first Daily Mail link lol. Why can’t normal people write terrible headlines??
