News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Inscriptions on a fired casing read: “notices bulges” capital “O-W-O what’s this?”
Imagine having to say that at a press conference.
So to sum up, Charlie Kirk was downplaying gun violence in the US, and using a racist dogwhistle to do so, WHILE standing under a giant fucking "prove me wrong" banner, when he was shot with a bullet labeled "OWO what's this?" by a Mormon cop's kid from Utah (ie, whiter than raisins in potato salad).
That is an actual fucking series of events that actually fucking happened. We've gone past "the onion is reality" to "this would be too on the nose if it was an onion article and yet it's somehow reality".
The writers are really forcing it this season...
this is very besides the point, but "whiter than raisins"?? i'm scared to ask, but how white are your raisins, americans?
edit: after further research, it seems like american raisins are not white either, in which case, wtf is this saying
Not whiter than raisins, whiter than "[putting] raisins in potato salad." It's a reference to cooking. Also, I've never seen anyone do thay and I'm from the US south, so...pretty white I guess.
I'd rather sandpaper a crocodile's asshole in a phone booth
They said “whiter than raisins in potato salad.” It’s a meme saying that white people put raisins in potato salad.
There’s a book by street lit author Quan Millz called Becky Put Raisins in the Potato Salad. This is actually where I heard about it and I was like “ew! Raisins in potato salad??”
I’ve never seen a potato salad with raisins in it. Sounds gross.
But.... What is "O-W-O"?
It's supposed to be a face. Don't know the origin but it got popular through text roleplay shit, though folks say it phonetically now too.
Oh. Thanks!
It's in the same family as UwU
I think Morty from Rick and Morty makes that face quite often if you want an animated rendition lol
I'm curious if they spelled it out or just said the word owo
*getting to say that at....
