The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments 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.

Weird, I read that jesus was not a common name at the time and that it would have been something like yusuf in reality if he was real

"Jesus" is a Latin translation of a Greek translation of the Hebrew name Yeshua so, yes, "Jesus" wasn't literally a common name in Israel. It was actually Yeshua (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ,) that was a common name.
