  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.

People are starving on this planet (purposefully!) and somehow a piracy platform from 25 year ago, known for being shit, which pivoted to the scammy world of NFTs, somehow still exists and has enough money to buy the scam festival?

Guys, enough. How did I die, and what am I accused of that holds me to this circle of hell?

Ah you finally got it, congrats! We knew it would become too ridiculous to believe at some point, but I'm glad we got this far. You still bought some insane shit (Kanye running for President, Kissinger getting the Nobel peace prize, Israel committing a holocaust, Oasis getting together again, people buying monkey JPEGs for millions of dollars...). Come on, nothing in this list is even remotely believable.

Does seem suspiciously like some form of Hell or Demiurge flawed reality.

At least anyone who profited from NFTs did so by taking money from selfish idiots.
