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 get things like "enlightenment", etc. But the average person (at least in the US) that isn't already Catholic has a strong possibility of already being told they aren't real Christians, and isn't going to know or care about etymology, and will assume it's Lucifer. They could call the main character Satin after the cloth and it's have the same effect, even though they aren't related.
