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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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!

If we learned anything from COVID, all we have to do is tell them that “Liberal Elite “””DOCTORS””” don’t want you using this home-grown remedy!”

Except, like most of what these crooks do, others are harmed by it as well.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hmm, that sounds a lot like conservative policies in general.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yep, that's what I meant by "like most of what these crooks do" heh

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Damn I inadvertedly did a "your comment, but worse". 😂

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Happens to the best of us 😁

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah. There's the hitch in the plan.

So put in a mass order on cheap second-hand carbon fiber for custom-built submarines?

I like the way you think. Maybe they could even lobby and call in favors against the common good to reserve their seat.
