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!

Woah man. That's what conspiracy theorists argue.

Nah, they think it's only one, and then oscillate between Bilderberg, the Knights Templar, and the Illuminati.

IRL, there's a Venn diagram of 3 to 7 wealthy Cool Kids groups that all compete for influence and money. They're generally not even that secretive about it other than Peter Thiel.
