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.”

Comments 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!

Well, I guess half of Europe is insane then.

Half of Europe is also looking at the political shit show going down in America and thinking, "that sounds like a good idea".

Aye, we also have plenty of stupid assholes. But so far we mostly only import the superficial stuff like huge pickups that don't fit anywhere. Most people have no idea what life in America is actually like and American daily life is thankfully far removed. Like in the example of the subject at hand. Kids walking and taking public transit to school is a common widespread practice anywhere I went and lived, nobody ever would consider someone NOT DRIVING a strange sight that needs investigating.
