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!

@[email protected] Countries do not fall into decline in one day, they fracture internally first.

"Buy California" rather than "Buy America" is precisely an example. Another sign would be ignoring tariffs and expressing its own foreign policy on trade.

Friendly reminder that there are quite a few red states that literally would not survive without the tax revenue from California propping them up.

The pitch is a bitter response to President Trump's plan to purchase Greenland, which Denmark currently owns.

Jesus titty fucking christ how obliviously ignorant do you have to be to not realize the satirical nature-...

Maybe France would be interested to buy back Louisiana as well.

This is the "Louisiana" they sold: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Louisiana_Purchase.png/1600px-Louisiana_Purchase.png

The Louisiana refund

California should offer itself to sell to Canada already

Not interested, thanks. Or if you do come, can we ship the silicon valley tech bros into the sun first?

I looked up what hygge means and I am all for it!

I wanna carve out Philly and submit myself to whichever EU nation is willing to take us. We voted against the fascist by double digit margin, and in the last mayoral democratic primary, a pluality of us voted for the progressive candidates (but the votes split on two of the progressive democrats so they both lost, thanks FPTP).

California accepts denmark's bid. Please.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Honestly Washington State is the one I'd buy, but given the weird conservative obsession with beating up on California you can probably get a better deal.

I like how this underscores what a joke they think Trump is.

What’s hygge

Edit: that warm cozy feeling

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

I hope they change the name to Hyggewood

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes please. If you could finalize the deal before April 15 that would be very helpful.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's happening on April 15?

Yes! California native here. We accept.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

$1 is a pretty good deal.

They should have charged, honestly.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Can I offer you some hygge in these trying times?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Please! Please do it!
