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.”

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!

Let’s hope it happens when you’re really old and are starting to lose your mental faculties so you end up living on the street.

It’ll be like the ancap version of a Christmas Carol but even funnier.

Hehe, I see you're the ultra-kind type of person - Hoping that elderly gets swindled. Funny? Sure, whatever floats your boat.

Also, elderly who've lost their mental faculties to the point where they're a danger to themselves should be put under care. Some of my grandparents were, I hope I will if the situation arises. But then again, unlike you I don't want elderly to be swindled or robbed.
