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!

As someone from Washington state, I wish articles would specify D.C. in their titles. I've been seeing more and more omit that from the title. I guess it did the job of getting me to click for more information, I suppose.

As someone from Maine, I wish articles would specify Oregon in their titles when mentioning Portland. I mean it was named after ours.

@BananaPeal Where I live (Connecticut), LOTS of our towns are named for older, bigger, and more famous places. Makes looking stuff up a pain sometimes.

Oh yeah, plenty of towns here are named for other places. Portland hurts extra because it's our biggest city, and OR was named after ME.
