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!

Ah yes, let’s redirect sunlight ONTO the Earth instead of away from it. Global warming isn’t real, after all.

Who cares about the environment! We have investors to grift! Money to be made!

It won't actually work. So yes, this is just a grift until funding dries up.

No way this doesn’t end poorly. I’m envisioning the SOL laser from Akira.

I imagined Mr Burns blocking out the sun, charging for sunlight.

Also I thought about who I would deliver middle of the night sunlight to, definitely not out of spite.
