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!

COVID is no big deal but Communist Sewage Garlic is an immediate threat. I'm ashamed that this is one of my senators.
Based on your downvotes and consistent experience in other parts of Lemmy I'm starting to believe the average Lemmy user is bad at general reading comprehension
99% of us are the detritus of Reddit that had the momentary good sense to bail early
The proportion of people who can't read between the lines and can't parse more than one logic-altering operator in a sentence is way too damn high! Like really off. Worse than reddit in that way, I hate to admit.
I used to be able to read between the lines but ever since I switched to dark mode it's been a struggle
What do you mean by that?
when I posted that, the root comment was getting downvoted to hell, while all the other comments with the same position where getting a lot of upvotes
-all except for another root comment using clear sarcasm to express the same.
I've seen this far, far more frequently here on Lemmy than anywhere else on the internet. Maybe that person making statistical inferences that Lemmy might have a lot more autistic people relatively could be right.
