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.

I could legitimately see this happening, by now. Fox News builds it up for a week, then Trump/Musk make a big spectacle of sending it back and replacing it with a giant statue of Trump.

Far fewer visionaries emerged in 2020 than those of us with a penchant for puns would have liked 🫤

Tacheon particles traveling backwards through (what you perceive as) time are clouding visibility into the near future

Could you set the arm at a slightly lower and rightward angle? Open palm, maybe?

They'd probably melt it down instead, just to avoid giving it back.

A giant dump would also fit to the current timeline.
