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!

I agree, it's not a silly story, in spite of the headline. I do hope that people are inspired to read it.

FWIW the rules right now don't mention criteria for articles, just for the headlines. I would be on board for stricter standards in article content, if that's what the comm wants though.

I read the article and as someone who is chronically dumb, when I slip on something I don’t fall face first. It’s more of a prat fall and I wing up on my ass.
