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, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

"A final issue worth noting with these realities may well encompass sex offenders who are not violent predators, pedophiles, or rapists, yet still are required to register. This includes individuals who “moon” people, people arrested for urinating in public, and gay and bisexual men convicted of cruising parking lots for sexual partners in public places (Jones 1999)." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7649057/#CR33
