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.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content 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!

Life imitates art:
Dale Gribbel, savior of the sacred flame.
I quit smoking over a decade ago, but if I had the opportunity to light a cigarette from the Olympic torch...I'd take it. Probably also use that cigarette to light the pilot lights on my water heater and then all my showers would be heated by the Olympic flame (technically speaking).
