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!

Same, my mother absolutely believes it, so much so that she refuses to do it for family and friends because she doesn't want to see anything bad with anyone she knows.

Same with reiki, she tried it on me once and asked if I felt anything, which I obviously didn't so I said as much and her reply was "oh, well that's probably because you don't believe in it."

I love you mom, but that's called a placebo.

Is your mom my mom? Are we siblings? That's EXACTLY what my mother is like
