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:
- 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!

Stupid american politicians aside, I hate how this community is just US news nowadays.
Yeah I know it's because of the significant inherent overlap, but do we not have some /c/usnews or such?
I propose USA National Television & News, or /c/UNTnews for short.
..that's like 60% of the headlines in the world that fit this community hand waved away.. 80% if you only count the ones in English.
It's like going to a baker and complaining that there's too many flour-based products..
You seriously underestimate the stupidity of the global community.
That's probably fair. In my defense, though, American stupidity tends to be more well-documented, at least in English 🤷
