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!

Does hosting a fake news show qualify as a real job?

Unfortunately. And it's more unfortunate that so many people believe it.

Got a sharpie, a map and large boobs? You could be a famous weatherman! Al Rocker has large boobs and a sharpie and a map. I rest my case.

In their minds what qualifies as a "real job" is one that makes the most money.

I hope that every underpaid person they rely on for day to day things refuses to do anything for them, forever
