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:

  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.

And that’s basically it!

At least toilet paper is good at wiping away shit

Whereas TP USA is only producing more of it.

That is literally the name of the subreddit dedicated to dunking on them. Or at least was. Wouldn't be surprised if they nuked it by now, way things are over there

Yup, those are the letters they chose to self-apply. Like when our IT department tried to rebrand as Technology & Innovation, but then realised they could never again refer to the Technology & Innovation Team 😁

But did they have a poster for their Cyber Security Awareness Month?

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Naa that would have been on purpose.
