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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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!

It's like influencers entering a train about to crash because they know people can't look away from a train wreck and thus they'll get views.

This is why, as mentioned above:

The most "successful" social media accounts are always the shittiest.

It's just like that Morcheeba song, everybody loves a loser.
