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.”
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!

Jeff Winger: "We're the only species on earth that observes "Shark Week." Sharks don't even observe "Shark Week," but we do. For the same reason I can pick up this pencil, tell you its name is Steve and go like this."
(Jeff snaps the pencil in two.)
Abed Nadir: "Oh!"
Jeff Winger: "And part of you dies just a little bit on the inside. Because people can connect with anything. We can sympathize with a pencil, we can forgive a shark, and we can give Ben Affleck an Academy Award for screenwriting."
What's this "shark week" thing?
It's a week about sharks on Discovery channel.
Oh. Ok. Thanks.
Back in the old days of my youth, entertainment options were severely limited compared to today. Shark Week was HUGE. I watched every year.
