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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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!

First, thank you for having been a first responder. I’ve had to call upon them for various reasons and, having had a similar job, greatly appreciate the service.

Second, please don’t take their bullshit to heart friend, they’re just being a jackass. There’s never a reason to defend yourself against a simple “do something” comment unless it’s accompanied by meaningful, constructive advice, and then only if you choose to reply.
