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!

She was scootin' around on one of these. Here is another link, of Marques Brownlee giving specs and driving one.

That's not really a suit case though. That's a foldable bike.

I guess you are right, my bad. Still the commercial for it is hilarious.

This is the purest form of battery-on-wheels I can imagine and I find this highly amusing.

Except the one Marques has can go 15mph, or about 24kph, almost twice that of the one in the article.
