Not The Onion

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!

Forfeiture of revenue and a slap on the wrist civil penalty doesn't seem like enough for selling fake PPE during a deadly pandemic.

They only killed a small percentage of the people who purchased them. Please, think of the innocent shareholders.

ETA: Look at the downvotes on this new post. The one on my comment arrived instantly. Not normal on this site.

How fast does vote info propagate between your instance and others? Legitimately curious.

No idea I just live here, post still only shows 2 for me

Then again it could be this app which I’ve had issues with before regarding not loading all comments and some other things

Occam’s razor says it’s probably that now that I think about it haha

Ok, my bad. I thought you meant "your instance", as in you ran your own instance.

All good, I could’ve worded it better

That’s because you are doing theonion, and you are not supposed to.
