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!

Only Americans will understand this joke.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

I'm from Finland and I got the joke. I was like "Ooooh, it's like that hot dog stand in Helsinki".

(Drunkards punching each other all night. World famous. 'Cause it inspired a footnote in some Discworld novel, I think.)

Because it’s something all Americans can agree on

It would be the most realistic fighting stage.

Seriously thought this was going to be theonion.

Subscribing to both coms is like a Russian roulette.

You don't understand, we don't want one, we NEED a Waffle House stage in Tekken 8, it's as simple as that

They should call it the "Waffle Hovel" to skirt copyright.

Le waffel haus.

Nah, ask them if they can use it for free. If the WH people have half a brain they would licence the logo to them because atleast once a day someone somewhere would be playing Tekken and go "I could really go some hashbrowns"

holy shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It wouldn't work; Tekken doesn't support throwable items, which are an essential part of any legitimate Waffle House fight.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Also there’s only one line in a Waffle House

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Not in the back there isn't

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

You pick your character and then you have to pick two other characters to hold yours back for a few seconds while everyone shouts abuse before the fight actually starts.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago

So what you're saying is that Waffle House needs to be a Super Smash Bros stage?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago

Damn, you're so right you changed my answer

[–] [email protected] 38 points 7 months ago

This is the first I’m hearing of it, but I think it’s a fantastic idea.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

as someone whose job takes him on the roads late into the night there is always Waffle House open

have not played Tekken in a hot minute but having Waffle House as a stage would definitely persuade me to start playing it again

World star hip hop is why

[–] [email protected] 78 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That would be fun actually. But only if there was a horrible world ending storm outside. Cuz that's what they're known for staying open in.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

Yeah, you'd need to be able to see Fallen Destiny in the background.
