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.

I don't want to hear a billionaire shrieking as their toes are mulched. Even if they're parasites, it'll still sound like a human shrieking as their toes are mulched.

Just guillotine them and redistribute their wealth already.
