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!

Oh gods, its not even holographic? ... and what's with the complete lack of imagination on the part of whoever wrote that headline? This can and will be used for talking to anthropomorphic dicks, assuming anyone buys it at all.

Right? The guy who married Hatsune Miku a decade ago had a better one.

He probably was not creating it to be a soulless cash grab.

Wasn't that a black mirror episode?

Subsequently parodied by The Simpsons in a Treehouse of Horror!

The only valid reason to have one of these is cosplaying as Kreiger from Archer.

But you only get one of these after a sweet can.

The way they describe it makes it sound like a story beat from a Black Mirror episode.
