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!

You're probably right. So indeed it's for entertainment. Gotcha.

I believe it was for education, not entertainment (though some procedures may have been entertaining, or at least interesting, to watch)

Surgery used to be, essentially, a speedrun. Sanitation and anaesthesia were near nonexistent so opening and closing as quickly as possible would markedly improve mortality rates. Appendix% was a popular watch.
