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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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!

"Old man yells at cloud" isn't the issue, "Old man can order airstrike on cloud" is.

Let him watch all the television he wants. Stop letting him interact with people and things.

Let him interact with people and things, but in a retirement home where he belongs.

The only final solution I support.

No I'm thinking a bunker with 9 foot thick concrete walls, no door, a 1.5 inch diameter hole for air and McDonald's french fries, a television and one of those brown blankets they wrap you in when your house burns down. And maybe if you put me in a good enough mood I wouldn't turn a garden hose down the air shaft.
