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!

“They go, ‘Have you seen an alligator run past here?’ And I go, ‘You guys are kidding, right?’” Strickland said, describing the interaction he had with law enforcement who knocked on his door. “He goes ‘No, I’m a state trooper, I wouldn’t kid about something like that.’”

Fucking gold. Watching it in video described by the frozen stoner made my day. When they had the clip at the end showing him holding out his arms while the newscaster read "about 2.5ft long", I lost it.

Alaska must be where all the people who couldn't make it as Hollywood directors go to be local news directors.
