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:
- 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!

Gen-X reading this.
Homie I'm a millennial and I was able to ride my bike to school in the 2nd grade. Just needed to show them I had a helmet and knew my hand signals. I didn't know my hand signals but my mom told me before I went to take the test.
This probably even mortifies older Gen Z folk.
Who's "them" and what is "the test"?
You needed a licence to drive a bicycle?
School.
Hand signals.
No. Permission.
Schools are in loco parentis , and designate how to handle things mime these.
With a term like that, it's not weird to link Wikipedia, but I actually would've understood it without it as well.
But here in Finland schools aren't in loco parentis for the trip to and from school. Only while school's in. That's why for instance schools here couldn't sanction pupils for fighting on the way home.
