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.”

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.

And that’s basically it!

Had to read the story to see if the situation really is as weird and pathetic as the headline makes it sound.

It is, but worse. For starters, the guy is 80.

He started this whole enterprise when he was 71, in 2013, fwiw.

Honestly, kind of impressive.
