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.”

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!

I must have worded something stupid in my initial post here - half the 'retorts' here have just restated the post I made. Or, tried to make?

Normally on Lemmy I wouldn't get this much pushback for saying that being a gardener or w/e isn't something to shit on.

I'd be willing to bet most everyone in this conversation is 99% on the same page, but some dumb miscommunication has us bashing heads.

It sorta feels like they hit 'AOC was a bartender' and then Pavlov kicked in and they started drooling.
