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, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

They're trying so hard to troll, it's pathetic.

when it comes from a head of state or the office, it’s not to be treated as if it’s a troll, because it’s not. it’s a threat from a dictator.

Yes of course. But they have the mindset of an internet troll. That's what's insane.

absolutely. it’s … making me feel old to see trolls online old “enough” to be running the gov. They’re supposed to be old, grown up, etc. lol.
