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!

MODERATORS
I've seen others suggest that this is commemorative of the revolutionary war. This year is the 250th anniversary of the United States. The lack of an olive leaf was said to signify our unwillingness to compromise with England.
Or to compromise with the native Americans. Treatment to them was much more uncompromising and previous treaties were tore up.
Sure, that would make sense, under one condition: not knowing about all actions relating to peace and war of the fascist kakistocracy making the change.
Occam's razor very much applies here and the simplest explanation is that the administration is a bunch of edgelords who think that even entertaining the idea of peace makes you look weak and unmanly.
You know, what I said was largely right but reading a few articles about the changes makes it apparent that your interpretation is also right.

And yet, the new 2026 design features a woman? Seems to go against their anti-DEI movement but okay.
It also says "liberty over tyranny", so they'll need to send it back for corrections anyway...
