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:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...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!

Agreed on all fronts. Don't be a cruel parent and give your kid a fucked up name. If you can't find it on the keychain turnstile in a truck stop, your "cute" name for a kid is causing more trouble than it's worth.

I have a misspelled common name (and it's a common misspelling) and every call for every account in my whole life is a PITA.

You aren't clever or cute, don't fuck up your kid's name. Color your hair blue and you be unique, leave your poor child alone, dipshit.
