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!

Could it be used to break up protests?

If by "break up" you mean on a molecular level, then yes.

Theoretically, but I don't see protests or riots stopping because of light.. riots happen in the day, too, and the violent ones are going to be masked up so more light won't do anything to reveal their identity

It will be stopped if the protests are vaporized
