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!

Oh shit I forgot to turn off the kill all mode! Hey Betsy, do you know where Bobby the gun dog is? Just tell them not to move, I'm on my way. Oh they moved? Ok I'm on my way, no need to tell them but we need to tell their families at some point after this fiscal year probably. Yeah we'll see. Ok hold on, just need my approach suit of armor....

I think the economics of sending in conscripts is always going to outweigh the benefit of sending in tech dog super soldiers.

Wow! They're finally building the torment nexus from the book 'Don't Build The Torment Nexus'.
