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.

Knowledge about how many things work in the society you live in isn't privilege, it's fucking common sense.

Also, walking around with a 20 pound fucking necklace is stupid, and especially so if you're doing something else at the time.

"He TRUSTED the professional"

Do you just give gas when the light turns green?

You should probably reread the articles if you still think it's an actual necklace and not a weighted exercise tool.

I'm not gonna continue with this since you think trusting a professional is equivalent to trusting a stoplight

It's the same thing as a stoplight. The green light just means it's legal to go, not that it's safe.

Same goes with your blind trust in professionals. Medicine is the last place you'd do that.
