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.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I am on a 128GB RAM desktop.
Oh... Yeah I have an aggressive pihole for websites like these.
I bet it was some poorly coded piece of media. Weirdly color values sometimes makes my graphics card flicker my monitor as if it has to change its entire process.
Actually, I think it's just a linux problem. Now it's happening on other sites in this particular browser.
Heh...
My iPhone's Safari crashed multiple times. Granted, it's an iPhone 11, but still.
That is worse.
Best of luck.
