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.”

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.

And that’s basically it!

I’m not worried about being directly hit, as it would be a quick death I’d never even be aware of.

But I’m terrified of being in the blast zone and surviving, as that means a slow, painful death by disintegration. When the radioactivity prevents one’s cells from dividing, the countdown clock has begun and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
