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.”

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!

Somebody in the comments pointed out that you can see someone standing in the doorway watching the whole thing happen. (You can see them at about 1:08.)

I would absolutely watch in amazement. It's hilarious.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 months ago

Hilarious, thanks.

Haha no worries, let me guess you have an adblocker?

I don't know. If you're going to be that clever you might have earned the package.
