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.

Planes issue horrible chemicals that cause all kinds of issues. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, etc.

My understanding is that these bills would make that illegal. That's good.

Red meat for the specific kind of idiots who tell anyone who they can trap in a corner for 5 minutes about how aliens built the pyramids.

States give privileges to things people do for their Invisible Friend, who's not real either. What are you gonna do?

chemtrails were real for several decades, the US government admitted to dispersing harmful biological weapons over US populations by air without notification or consent in the 1975 Church committee.

doesn't mean it's happening now, but it's silly to pretend the US government didn't secretly drop chemicals and biological agents onto US citizens from aircraft when they already admitted to doing it for decades.
