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!

Just highlights you can be wildly successful and a fucking idiot.

Just a few off the top of my head in no particular order, Donald Trump, Kim Kardashian, Logan Paul, Charlie Sheen, Paris Hilton, Elon Musk, Kanye West, Joe Exotic, etc., etc., etc. 🙃

Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton both seem completely sane and humble compared to the absolute lunacy of those others, lately.

Stupid people aren't necessarily insane or arrogant? I suspect Paris Hilton just plays dumb/vapid though and isn't really a dumbass.

True, I was just thinking they said crazy not idiots. But I do have some respect for Paris Hilton after she made fun of herself on Supernatural.

Haven't seen it, but she does seem to be at least somewhat self aware and has a decent sense of humor so, I'd bet she's not really a dumbass.

I dunno, I thought people loved that weirdo. I didn't realized he was sentenced to 22 years in jail LMFAO. I kind of missed that whole train.

He was never successful at anything aside from being a trashy spectacle as far as I'm aware.
