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.

You'd think they'd lead with the journalists. Guess they think cellphones are more important.

YOU won't BELIEVE what THIS POPE SAID about YOUR PHONE! Click here to find out how!

Your first mistake is writing THIS POPE, when it should've been THE POPE. That will get more people interested, because it's THE pope and not just any regular pope.

We're not in space now, are we?

Yes, we are. Literally. Earth is a space rock.

You're no fun, are you?

Space and time, but they're sort of the same thing.

I'm sorry, i didn't have time to go back and forth with you about this. I have to go pick up a new mouse for my pc.

I wonder if there are a number of people who will always read an article if the pope is mentioned, so if he's related to a topic even a little bit, he gets to be in the headline.

Oh definitely. My grandmother was exactly like that.
