Not The Onion
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!
The only problem is that any answer can be followed up with “But why does x do/cause that?”, and any answer to that can in turn be followed by the same question.
People accept, the classical explanation, that mass attracts mass so gravity “makes sense”, but when it comes to magnets the explanation isn’t so natural-feeling so most want, or at least feel that there is, more of an explanation.
And when the only further explanation left is that it works that way because it does, people feel like the phenomena has gone unanswered.
If you're gonna post paywalls, at least quote the good parts. Y'all think we can afford to pay for news in this economy?!
We can’t be starting headlines like that without considering the emotional roller coaster involved.
