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:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...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!

Crazy right wingers who go "Obviously we need to cut welfare so this genius doesn't have to pay taxes! Then one day I will be just as rich as him and be glad I didn't make people as rich as him and future-me pay taxes!"

"That'll show those poor!"
"Why are you cheering? You're not rich."
"True, but someday, I might be. And then people like me had better watch their step!"

Right I had forgotten that liars often have other liars’ backs.
