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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...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.
And that’s basically it!

The Susquehanna River that Three Mile Island sits on offers virtually unlimited fresh cold water for cooling the server farm.
Fucking up the temperature downstream; global warming baby! But who needs that ecosystem? It's survive or die, and that includes the beavers! Down with trees, up with fleas(markets)!
