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!

Daily Mail is by no means a credible source. Nevertheless, I'm going to let this one stand because it technically is a newspaper, and that's the actual fucking headline, God help us.

Wait, sources are supposed to be credible? I thought the joke was "yes this is an article in an actual* newspaper that is so absurd it seems like it could be satirical"

*for a certain definition of "actual"

Yep, it's a rule in the sidebar. But this one is so goddamn bonkers I'm making an exception.
