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!

I have a song I sing whenever I see a Cybertruck. It's sung in a low, gravelly, MANLY voice. The lyrics go like this:

Cybertruck! I'm a douchbag with too much mon-eey. Cyberbruck! I'm a fan-boy making bad decisions! My mon-eey makes me cool. Look at me compensating! etc...etc

Does anyone remember how, back in the early 2000s, some people would take picture of their hand flipping off a Hummer they saw on the street? I'm getting a similar vibe.
