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!

I wouldn't pejoratively call a mute person dumb, a mobility device user lame, or an intellectually disabled person retarded

but I will absolutely call cringe political fanatics lame, dumb retards

also here's some free fag-passes from your friendly internet dyke, cuz "fag" is a great fuckin multipurpose word

I mean thank you, I remember I got banned from a group like 10 years ago because I said the forbidden F-word, they all knew I was pan and trans, but apparently my N-Word Pass expired?

Can't say the t-word either, I remember before it was a pejorative it was more like a cute nickname.

original meaning: "waaaah I got trapped into thinking a person of the sex I'm not attracted to is hot and now my genitalia is making me feel weird!"

new & improved meaning: this person dressed not as their assigned-birth-sex is so hot they could literally trap me Looney Tunes style by being distractingly attractive 😩

I thought they meant the slur that's also slang for a car's transmission.
