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:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...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!

In response, North Dakota has challenged South Dakota to a duel. If North Dakota wins, both states will be combined into The state of 'Dakota'.

Skip the duel, combine them and maybe Montana and Wyoming.

If North Dakota wins, both states will be combined into The state of ‘North Dakota’.
And Nebraska will be renamed South Dakota. Then the process repeats. Until the entire earth is Dakota.

I think the United States of Jersey would have something to say about that.
