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, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Microsoft's dick is so micro and soft that they can't stand even an unpleasant word on Discord.

Users just really believe in truth in advertising. Microslop wouldn't be encouraging people to be dirty, filthy liars, would they?

In Spain there was a time when it was Hasechof and Microchof.

I remember when there was a webpage named "mocosoft" and microslop sued (and won) because the name sounded too similar in Spain.
After that, I went with mocosoft for a good while. Sad there weren't social media back then. It could have become a very viral thing.

And it's MICROSCUM, not microslop!
