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!

Now I want the rule 34 version of the story of John Henry. Like, the next pokemon trailer comes out, and one NSFW artist has to put out porn of the new professor before the AI can generate it.

You mean THIS John Henry?

Almost writes itself, what with him being a steel-driving man hammering away with his big tool so the train can enter the tunnel..
