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!

It is crazy that the American south is still like this

Tbf there's the South and there's Alabama and Mississippi South.

And Louisiana, sometimes. And Georgia, obviously. Florida.

Texas... Okay, it's the whole South.

But at least that cancer hasn't spread to the Midwestern states!

I went to Ohio to visit family as a teen in the 90s and it was normal. I went again as an adult and suddenly everyone I wasn't related to had a southern accent and was very....banjo duel....

WTF happened to you Ohio?!
