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!

... So in the sublemmy about stupid things that are true, we shouldn't discuss the stupid things?
Nobody said that, no.
What was your point then? I guess I didn't understand.
That their complaint about the post being a distraction from other issues would have been a much more reasonable take in a space meant only for "grown up" politics discussion than in a space for weirdness that also encompasses seriousness when appropriate.
They're talking about the news being a distraction, not your post.
Fair enough 🤷
