Not The Onion

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.”

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!

He took off his shoe and threw it at the bug to kill it, but a revolver he had hidden in the shoe fell to the ground. Upon making contact with the floor, the gun discharged and the bullet hit the victim in the foot.

That's even more bizarre; how does one hide a gun in their shoe??

Why are there so many fucking accounts less than 30 days old? Do y'all just keep making accounts every week? Are there this many newer Lemmings?

Not long ago Reddit introduced a new policy thatpunishes people for upvoting bad posts, which includes posts about Luigi Mangione. After that, people have been moving into Lemmy as an alternative.

Thank you for the context. Always happy to see growth, the paranoid bit of me always jumps to the worst conclusion.
