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!

Try living here. It's like being trapped in a trashy micro-budget reality TV show about a demented pedophile turning the entire country into the most embarrassing laughingstock on the planet and the smoothed-brained dipshits who love him for it.

Don't forget all the fascism.

And the fox news. Hey rest of the english-speaking world, notice your right wing media getting bigger?

what a coincidence

The fascism is a symptom of the mental illness; narcissism and empathetic deficiency coupled with stupidity.

Yup.

A nation of dimwits and losers.

And we're going to find out what happens to stupid countries over the next few years.
