What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Is anyone who buys "chocolate flavored" corn flakes really that concerned with living?

If you don't buy chocolate corn flakes, are you living?

The cornflakes stop me wanting to jerk off, but the chocolate counteracts that effect.

hmm... maybe I should stop feeding it to my children

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

The corn flakes, or the chocolate?

I just snort cocoa powder in the morning. Really makes you feel alive.

I think that about most cereals in general. Filling up the stomach with almost nothing, let alone anything of any use.

That's not a meal. It's like two nibbles of a granola bar.

Maybe the "chocolate" helps? lol

Edit: Jesus, and cereal prices have come up over the years, it seems. That's a lot to pay for almost nothing. Have some eggs (or mushroom if you're veg) on toast and a juice, y'all. Start the day with a sense of accomplishment!

that's because breakfast cereal wasn't invented to nourish you, it was meant to stop you from masturbatung

I've never heard of chocolate corn. Sounds like nonsense!
