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!

You genuinely couldn't make this shit up, could you?

Also, I hate that I now read quotes from him in his voice. I want it out of my head.

My tired ass first read "you genetically couldn't make this shit up", and frankly, we should preemptively make a law for this.

Easy. Just swap his voice out for Kevin Hart's.

Doesn't this not actually block the ads because they started delivering them via the same domain as the content (like years ago?)

Ways to counter this are available and the barrier to access is upheld in order to both mitigate attention paid to it (ie. tends to hasten correction of related exploits) and hopefully ensure that the user base is informed & capable of (empowered by) using it. 🤓🤘🏼

Yeah it’s been on my todo list for years. I gotta pick up an Ethernet cable for adding it to my lan.
