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!

My job entails handling certain things for the recently deceased. I processed a Khaleesi yesterday and my dumbass assumed it was a name that meant something for some culture or another, but immediately recognized the name for Daenerys as well.

Having looked, it's totally made up, but it's super badass, if I were to ever have kids, which I won't, cause fuck that, I'd be open to that being my daughter's name. It sounds real cool.

Sounds like a really stupid person at the passport place that thinks their smart. Pretty typical.
