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.

"Electricity works because yadda yadda yadda."

I thought you might want to know, I shared a screenshot of your previous response with someone and they said that you are consistently able to be hilarious.

If I didnt have crippling social anxiety I could probably make it as a stand up comic. People probably won't find a dude coming on stage, freezing up and then puking on the front row very funny. 😔

Maybe you're just doing stand-up for the wrong crowds.
