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, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Wow. I just honestly don't know what else to say. Headline is spot on.

I'm not shocked. I used to love their shoes but the last couple pairs I bought dropped noticeably in comfort and quality. The enshitification rolls on

This isn't enshittification, though.

Cory doctorow actually actively encourages the bastardization of the term he coined. It is enshittification.

I'm with you, but the end user's experience is rather similar either way
