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.

I used to voluntarily share my location with my dad for "safety". He ended up texting me his McDonald's orders anytime I was within proximity of a McDonald's.

Nope.

Did something similar, had something similar happen, turns out he put a location on Life360 that texted him everytime I pulled into McDonalds, and he would send the same text message each time. Ended up being pretty funny.

That's spying, not safety
