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!

This is entertaining but I'm not convinced it was written by a human.

The article is from the guardian ( a reputable UK newspaper) reporting on an article by 'Which?' a UK consumer magazine with some very specific standards. The Which? Press release has citations.

Ok but it doesn't read like something a human would write.

Maybe it was a substitution? 🙃
