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.

Being honest, probably not much, but the amount isn’t zero. I guess I’m just not seeing how creating any kind of brand confusion helps an established brand like goldfish when people will just forget about this kind of thing almost immediately.

Shorter version, you’re right that it isn’t a large expenditure, but god, it’s so dumb.
