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!

They don't control the rules outside the theater. Suggesting there is some slippery slope from them not allowing outside food in the theater to them controlling your life before going is just absolutely absurd.

This is why I assumed they were joking but everyone responding is being serious.

Poes law. But whether they are joking or not, you can read the other poster responding to me who seems to defend the claim.

On this post, someone said somthing like: well, your talking to a moron. And the guys name was "a moron". (Edit) The replies didnt notice the joke

Poes law is just really strong on this post.

It's funny because that was me and I was going along with what I thought was the joke there, although still poking fun at the a random idiot because they did say something stupid.

But they control rules of who comes in theater. At least in beastly capitalism they do.

Suggesting theaters are going to check people for a full stomach before entry is absurd stuff that should probably stay in the bounds of black mirror-esque science-fiction works.

Oral surgeons already want you to fast for a time before going in. It’s only a matter of time before movie theaters make you do it too.
