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!

Why do any of us actually think it's reality?

[–] ArbiterXero@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The suggestion being that the article is a lie?

Or that we’re living in a really fucked up matrix-like experiment?

I wonder if the AI’s in the matrix knew that they weren’t real?

Words are made up but we still have to deal with them in our day to day lives.

I've gotta deal with these talking faces about as much as I gotta deal with anime girls. At least anime girls are something pleasant to keep me occupied.

I’m confused……. The shoes aren’t real?

Or the assassination attempt wasn’t?
