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, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I’m honestly surprised they haven’t merged with Hot Topic.

They did buy out ThinkGeek, so... very close.

😭 🥀 God I wish I had gotten more of those novelty homewares while I still could. I'm an adult, I accept I need a laundry basket.... but nobody else would've sold me a collapsible radioactive waste barrel.

I enjoyed the 'bloody handprint' shower curtain, but by the time I had enough money to get such items as yhr matching bloody-footprint bathmat with intention, ThG was gone for good.
