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.”

Comments 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!

This is the kind of drama I want from Twitter. Nothing to do with presidents.

Tsoukalos fired back with a lame schoolyard threat that probably didn’t help his cause, writing: “Tell me that to my face and let’s see what happens.”

I can't think of the last time anyone actually said "say that to my face" without a hint of irony.

I could argue that Tsoukalos knows nothing about aliens. He's probably never even seen one.

What if he's one? How about that, ey?

Let's not make fun of the mentally handicapped. Wait... sorry that's a slight against the mentally handicapped, forgive me.

I’d love to read the full exchange but that site is a ficking disaster

*misspelling noticed and passed inspection, “ficking” just sounds adorable

Fun fact: The word 'flick' was banned from mainstream comics for many years. Comic lettering being in all-caps, it's easy for a printing error (or just poor kerning) to make the L and the I run together and make a U.

Oh what a sad fate for flick!
