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!

Well, in your case is the "state fair carnival ride that was on the evening news"-kind of swinging and roundingabout.

You know, the kind of a ride that you know at least three people that broke their elbows and somehow makes your cousin twitch every time he hears a pneumatic brake.

That made me chuckle, thanks friend.. I was having a mood swing, and ya put a smile on my face.

It was definitely a funny way for the universe to save my ass. Took the wind outta my sails though. I wanted to serve since I was a wee lad. But I'm a different man now.
