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 pretty sure we're going to keep hearing about people with Game of Thrones names a lot over the next few decades lol I know I've read a few articles saying that Arya and Khaleesi were the most popular girls names for a few years before the series ended

At least Arya is a name; Khaleesi is a title

At least Arya doesn't go full speedrun genocidal maniac because the showrunners are bored and think they have Star Wars money coming.

Never name your kid or your dog after a character until the who is over, folks! Cats? It's fine.

I disagree, as cats are longer lived than dogs; wanna give your dog a stupid name, go for it

This may or may not have anything to do with the fact that I have three cats and zero dogs

LOL, it's more that I'm less concerned finding out a cat is named after a woman who just wanted to watch the world burn, and I presume the cat would be too.
