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, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Without a doubt.

Addicted to alcohol? Stop drinking. You can't control an addiction so you have to completely stop.

Addicted to cigarettes? Stop smoking. You can't control an addiction so you have to completely stop.

Addicted to crack? Stop smoking crack. You can't control an addiction so you have to completely stop.

Addicted to food? Must be your fault for being weak-willed. Just don't consume so much of that thing that you're addicted to. You can control your addiction. Just stop being a loser...

The literal solution to every addiction is stop it, cold turkey. One Day At A Time. But you can't stop eating food.
