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!

Soo, UK goes all batshit puritan now?
I'm just happy they're out of EU and not voting on common policy anymore.
You do know where the original puritans come from right?
You know why they went to the Colonies? They weren't welcome here. They'd previously been hiding in Amsterdam from the Stuarts but were kicked out of there and ended up in Plymouth (Devon, not Massachusetts).
