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.

For the record:

  • The New Zealand Herald is a credible source: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-zealand-herald/
  • Radio Free Asia is a credible source: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/radio-free-asia/
  • Kim Jong Un is a brutal dictator who starves the people of North Korea, and news stories that document his atrocities aren't racist.
  • If you want to come to this sub to argue in favor of fascist regimes, don't be surprised when your account is banned and your content is removed.
  • The story stays. It's from a legitimate news source, and it's a very bizarre, Onion-y headline.

Just a heads up, I submitted this in World News and it got taken down because of "rule 3" even though it's as you say. It also fairly early on got brigaded by "counterpropaganda" from hexbear, and the alts coming out of the woodworks, ignoring any other community content, just to defend King Jong-un and North Korea's character was ridiculous. ~~I guess lemmy.ml and lemmy.world have more in common than I thought.~~ I got in contact with one of the mods and they confirmed it was wrongly removed and restored it, so it was definitely not a unanimous decision - I take my comment back.

Budae-jjigae is literally made from hot dog sausages, and the ban is tied to maintaining the cultural divide between North and South Korea. This news shouldn't be making as much noise as it is, if it wasn't because of weighted agendas seriously getting concerned. I'm sure you are probably getting a lot of spam to coerce you.

"No you guys, North Korea is actually a utopia!" - Hexbear probably
