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!

From the headline, I thought this was twenty fake heart attacks for one meal. That would have been funnier. It’s still pretty funny that he did this at twenty distinct restaurants.

I’m gonna try doing it how I first read it. Omg, heart attack! Wait I’m better. Oh no, it’s happening again! Whew, false alarm. Holy shit, I’m dying! …

They didn't buy the first 19 fake heart attacks, but he really sold it the twentieth time.
