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!

Oh yeah definitely not. I’d have been grounded for weeks even in the 80s.

This is when you would respond "Bitch, I said what I said" (Doja Cat, Paint the Town Red), right?! Hrmm.... me neither:-P.

I was on the tail end of kids still getting spanked or worse (last of the gen Xers).

My cousins still had a paddle with holes in it that made a terrible whistling sound before it got you. Their dad was a southerner though was always the excuse.

Nowadays kids parent the previous generation so I'm not entirely certain that things are "better". Probably yes in some ways, worse in others:-|.
