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!

What's truly sad about this is that the same people who would buy golden sneakers from Trump will have already lost one or both of their feets to the diabeesus.
These are going to sell out regardless of if anyone buys them. This is just a way rich people launder money.
Sell something that costs a minimal amount to make for an outrageous price. They don’t have to worry about whether or not a consumer would buy it because the object is trivial. It’s about legally passing money from one place to another in a way that looks like business.
The same thing happens when you see obvious trash make it onto a ‘best seller’ list.
Like all those terrible political books by candidates which are then bought en mass by super PACs and others to funnel money into the campaign.
