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!

MODERATORS
A guy ate boneless wings and got a bone stuck in his throat leading to multiple surgeries so he sued. But he didn't notice when it happened?
The longer I think about this the more I agree with the decision. It sounds dumb, there shouldn't be bones, but if you're chopping up a chicken breast with the rib bones still attached, I could see how a bone could accidentally make its way into a nugget. So I can understand what they mean by saying it's a cooking style.
Kinda like the woman who sued McDonalds for hot coffee, and then people were like "DUH! COFFEE IS HOT!!!"
But it turns out she was right to sue. Coffee should be hot, but not lava coffee cup melting hot.
And worse on the coffee one, they found McDonald's kept it boiling hot so patrons would drink less of it in the store waiting for it to cool and they'd leave before getting a refill. In short, McDonald's made it uncomfortably hot to save money.
Not only that, but McDonald's had been warned previously that the temperature they kept it at was literally dangerous and could cause burns instantly. They chose to keep it there intentionally, ignoring the safety issue they were already told could happen.
