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!

If you put a giant button in front of these people and said if you push the button you'll get 1 million dollars but someone will die, they'll have not only slammed the button before you are done with the sentence, but will seemingly have sped up pushing it after you've finished. Literal antisocial behaviour that would be pathologized if they weren't affluent.

TBF, I could sacrifice one person and use that million dollars to save hundreds of lives. Trolly problem, I have to pull that lever.

Esp if you can pick the person. Remote plumbing with a cash reward sounds good to me.
