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!

Department of War Dependents Schools, or DoWDS.

The Department of War had that victory over the Confederacy, too, right?

I know this is out of place in this time in history, but I believe that to have been the case in the (maybe far) past.

Who started calling them ministries of defense and amidst what pressures from society?

Unironically the only based thing a president has ever contemplated doing, except, like, the emancipation proclamation.
