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 couldn't have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago. WTF is happening? Maybe CERN did break the universe with the LHC

the 2012 mayan apocalipse was real and we are now living in purgatory.

Harambee was our anchor being. Everything's been fraying at the edges since that day.

We had a second chance with Peanut the Squirrel. We fucked it up again.

You must have been really optimistic to expect something different out of these morons, to me it's more surprising they managed to keep quiet until now

The world really ended in 2012. We're living through the blooper reel.

"Yes, and".

All the way at the bottom are the Bitcoin white paper and a site to their merch store where you can get a shirt with Nixon or Regan or whatever doing a pose with the Bitcoin logo.

That was added later then. This was a goldbug site from the start. It’s also wrong about most of the reasoning unsurprisingly

[–] ggppjj@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Makes sense, there's a lot of "bluh, fiat" overlap.

Someone needs to stop using the What If machine!

We'd use the universal translator instead, but it just spouts crazy gibberish.

"I'm gonna ask it the dumbest thing I can think of: What if Donald Trump became president?"

"Oh yeah? I'm gonna ask it what if Donald Trump lost re-election, then got re-elected?"

machine explodes

So that's what things would be if what's happening was just a result of a what if machine...

A man can dream, though. A man can dream.

Almost the plot to Cloverfield paradox

No, this is just a Nazi who has always been shitty. If you were fooled by him at any point, then now is the time to question your judgment. If not, then good for you. But you're still not infallible... None of us are.
