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!

Exactly.

It's all meant to make people outraged and distracted, and we all keep falling for it.

Please let's not entertain completely absurd shit like that.

Imagine every time your boomer aunt posted that same shit Trump does on her Facebook it ended up in the news-- it's clearly delusional and giving it attention gives it validity even if it is only criticisms.

This is so frustrating, right? The king of the baboons is insane and addicted to attention, so he throws shit around and spits at everyone who comes to close. And all the other baboons circle around him, watching every move he makes so they can jump and scream as soon as he does.
Stop reporting, stop reacting, it doesn't accomplish anything, it's a waste of time.

Yep and they've already moved onto Trump as sithlord for May 4th. This just isn't news. They're little Internet creeps and they intend to stay that way. People need to stop caring about what "memes" the "official Whitehouse account" posts.

Edit: Ask yourselves, is it really news that this guy typed a sentence into an AI image generator?
