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!

Some cultures embraced the concept of ultimogeniture, under the premise that the youngest child would be raised with the full benefit of wiser parents and inherit younger, but generally not too young.

It's apparently pretty effective when the culture encourages the youngest child to stay home as a caretaker for their parents, but in terms of kingdom inheritance can cause problems.
