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!

Might as well. It was originally called that, and the DoD name was always kind of a lame coat of off-white landlord paint.

Well, Dept. of War and Dept. of The Navy became DoD. I used to work for them, some people think I'm a Veteran because I use the block print and the 24h time and today is 25Aug25. I'm not, never been shot at but that shit just gets ingrained in you.
