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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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.

You sure it’s not the Tar Monster that killed Tasha Yar?

He wasn't a monster, just severely depressed.

Is this an AI written story? At different points in the article it says in the UK, or Sacramento, or Delhi 🤔

Somebody in the comments pointed out that you can see someone standing in the doorway watching the whole thing happen. (You can see them at about 1:08.)

I would absolutely watch in amazement. It's hilarious.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I am skeptical.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Hilarious, thanks.
