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!

All flags are inherrently political. A flag is the ultimate symbol for nationalism. Usually you shouldn't display them in any context, especially in a job that makes you face people from different backgrounds, ethnicities or nations.

So yeah, I'd tell someone to take off the Ukraine background too, not for the "someone might be offended" reason
