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

And that’s basically it!

is this rock bottom? Are we there yet?

Every time someone asks that, society says "hold my beer."

Yeah we're nowhere fucking close yet. 10 years from now you'll step out of your front door and be knocked over by someone on an e-scooter with a Hitler moustache and a bluetooth speaker playing high-pitched white noise for no particular reason, then get fined because the e-scooter companies bought the sidewalks and renamed them scootwalks and it's illegal to walk on them now and you'll look back at today as some kind of enlightened wonderland.

Then it'll keep getting worse.
