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!

I have no idea what you're saying. The letter E in Morse is one short buzz.
The old way to denote moves didn't use the grid notation. It called the pieces "King's Bishop" and "to" or "takes" then describes the piece being taken. The joke is imagine typing that out in morse code, instead of the much shorter letter and number.
