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!

Yep
Something that was said so publicly is remembered by so few, and the ramifications echo around the world decades later
The US doesn't have a monopoly on stupidity, hate and ignorance
But they're so proud of it...
And so blind to the fact that so much of the world just wants them to fuck off and sit in the corner
I've been asked why July 4 isn't a big deal in Australia, and when I laughed, it was met with huffy indignation
Just like the stupid American woman demanding a discount for a tourist attraction in London because she had an American AAA card, and being pissy because she didn't get one
I like it when yanks ask me how I'm supposed to defend myself without firearms (I laugh when they say "gun", because it tells me so much)
When I point out that people aren't armed here, so it's not an issue, the type to ask that question genuinely can't understand it
Because they're stupid.
