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!

The ego inflation would go like this:

"Sir, we want to put you on a new $500 bill. The EU has a €500 bill as well, so economic studies show viabil-"

"They already have a 500? No, I want a $1,000 bill, then. Put Elon on the $500."

"Sir, yes sir, thank you sir." boot slurping noises

I can see Trump and Musk ordering new denominations to one-up each other. "Crypto DOGE is worth over $9,001!" waved sharpie "Nuh-uh, Trump Bucks gets you a dozen eggs, cause I say so!"

Elon would insist on a new $420 dollar bill
