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!

What happened to playing with Pokémon?
“Officers from North Yorkshire police were told a caravan had been stolen from a holiday site near Thirsk and was being towed away by a black BMW.
They had tracked the luxury car, which was using cloned registration plates, travelling south on the A1.
About 45 minutes after the caravan was reported stolen, the vehicle was stopped on the M1, having left the A1 near Garforth.
Officers said they were "staggered" to find an 11-year-old boy sitting in the driver's seat of the BMW.
When they searched the car, they found "equipment typically used by suspects to carry out thefts" and a selection of vehicle registration plates.
The boy was arrested on suspicion of offences including theft, burglary, going equipped for theft, and motoring offences including dangerous driving.”
