The Rules

...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments 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.

That's what got me. A bouncy 7 mile ride back to home. 2 world wars. Regular trowel cleaning. A paint job in 1982. And set in concrete, which EOD had to remove it from. What a ride, for the shell and the reader. Whew!
