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:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...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!

Ruined buzzfeed? You can’t ruin something that’s already crap.

Might be hard to believe, but Buzzfeed News (the now-extinct "serious" branch of Buzzfeed) used to have genuinely good reporters that wrote award-winning articles

Buzzfeed animation has great animated shorts like Chikin Nuggit and Life of Boe.
