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!

Ugh, classic whataboutism. You're probably the commenter in every great lakes thread saying, "bUt whAT AbOuT thE laKE eRiE gHOSt PiRatEs?"

People can care about Lake Michigan and Lake Erie ghost pirates at the same time--this post just isn't the time and place to center them in the conversation.
