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.

'Murica

There's a reason why the rest of the world sneers at them.

Well sure, it's way easier to feel superior to someone else than it is to deal with the fascist groups slowly taking over their own governments.

But in my experience people don't really sneer at the US except in meaningless online dickwaving contests - right now most people are either embarrassed on our behalf or terrified of what shit we'll pull next. Usually, both.
