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!

Fresh bodies don't smell strongly. They do develop a characteristic odor fairly quickly, but you can't really smell it unless you're close, and I've been around enough of them that I recognize the smell for what it is.

Two days though? And it was outside and no wild animals started eating it, even buzzards?

It wasn’t two days. He was last seen alive the evening of the 8th and the groundskeeper found him the morning of the 9th. It was only a few hours at most.

Yes, thanks. I don’t know why I thought the 10th, but I just doublechecked. My fault!

No worries, that’s when the construction worker found him and reported it. So you weren’t wrong, just the wrong person lol.

You’re so generous. I was wrong, to my way of thinking. I thank you for your kindness, nonetheless.

Was it two days? I thought the person died on the 7th and was found on the 8th. Technically, that's possible with a gap of one second.
