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!

I was going to ask for someone to explain this for a non American that doesn't understand a word of it, but I think I'd rather remain ignorant tbh.

I'm American, I know what all the words mean, but they make no sense when put in that order.

Absolutamente the best course of action

American here. I’m sorry to report that 2024 is just a bad year to be literate on earth. The headline sounds batshit insane to me, and yet I can 100% hear some conservative family or acquaintance say it with zero joking or sarcasm.
