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!

Do you think if the major cities started calling the interstates the blue lines it could fight congestion?

If you want to find a blue city, follow an interstate, a red one, hop off.

If you want to name the lake after a great state from America

You should call it

Lake Of Insanity

The Cliffs of Insanity.

I feel in reaction Indiana will rename Michigan City, Michigan will reclaim the Toledo strip, and Ohio will Ohio.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

Ohio will Ohio

You mean rename it after another famous place, but misspell/mispronounce it?

And Hell, Michigan stays the same I assume.

Hell is frozen right now, so it's hard to say what's underneath all that snow.
