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!

Yeah. It takes a lot of work to express total disdain for the students in person. I can see how this robot expresses that contempt much more efficiently.

Don't attribute to malice etc

Not much difference these days.

That saying needs an update.

Maybe, "Don't attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by sociopathy."
