The Rules

...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.

No, they are NOT literally fucking the US government. They are figuratively fucking up the entire US government.

Literally fucking up the US government would be some kind of orgy at the Senate. Or a bukkae of The Statue of Liberty.

protip: if you're gonna criticise another's words, make sure you don't make any typos. Just sayin'

Typos are less of a concern than spreading misinformation. Saying someone is doing something literally when they are doing it figuratively is dangerous misinformation.
