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!

Think about the reaction you can get spraying people with water. They’ll cry out, close their eyes, shield their faces and run away.

I don’t know if you can call it “battery” which is often what people mistakenly expect from a definition of assault. It’s assault if you run up to someone with your fist pulled back like you’re going to punch them. It’s battery when you punch them.
