Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Why is fifth avenue funny.
roads in the uk are almost never numbered
they usually have names like "cheese lane", "steve avenue", or "wanker's crescent"
Every single street name in the UK is actually a euphemism for some kind of sex act
St. Turd's Cockshot
Almost, but they're actually named after words from Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky - Flaxton Street, Colwyn Road, Ingle Grove etc
Vorpal Court
Bandersnatch Lane
I've just realised my joke doesn't work without the fairly obscure pieces of knowledge that those aren't words from Jabberwocky, they're real street names.
I imagine it has something to do with reputation of 5th Ave in NYC for luxury shops compared to what the road in Harlow is like
And/or numbered avenues are largely an American thing
What lack of history does to mfers
Its a candy bar
