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!

The worst part about wanting to give these stories the benefit of the doubt is there are just as many stories like these where the person is actually just that stupid.
Like the guy who sued Winnebago because he wrecked his rv while driving it on the highway with cruise control on and got up to make himself coffee. Iirc he won the lawsuit because the owners manual didn't say cruise control is not autopilot.
Hell most safety features we have today only exist because people were stupid
