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!

I don't want electric cars. I want electric trains.

Okay, but lots of people do. Why not both? I'm sure you realize that progress is incremental, we're not going to jump from here straight to a utopia.

Also, many people don't have a choice. My job has to be done in-person most of the time, it can't be done by robots or AI (yet), and I have to bring a large amount of equipment with me. But I would love my work vehicle to be a government-subsidized zero-emissions one!

Pure Stockholm Syndrome.
