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!

This works significantly better if you are of the less melanated complexion.

We'll see that's your first problem right there.

Gotta figure out how to not be dark skinned.

Just wear a white pointy bed sheet with holes for the eyes and they'll think you're one of them.

I'm genuinely curious, what were you trying to communicate by directly quoting their entire comment?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I was trying to accomplish that if they delete their account or comment there is still context for the comic I posted.

I'm genuinely curious why that would be bothersome in any case.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah, I understand. I was just curious. I personally didn't find it bothersome, but I don't speak for anyone but me.

All good, and I apologize for assuming your tone. (Strangely I thought I'd already replied but Kbin seems to have eaten it.)
