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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...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!

Billionaires buy chat bots to make them say wonderful things about themselves.
Behold, our mighty enlightened future, just the same as our ignorant primitive past.
Wait till you find out who paid town criers...
LMAO! I was gonna say, OP didn't learn anything about early newspapers. :)
