The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...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.

At 10 I was riding my bike into town, 2.5mi, on roads with limits as high as 50mph.

Sometimes I'd ride my bike in on a Sunday, get a lift home, skip the bus from school, walk to my friend's house, play Nintendo for an hour, and ride my bike home. I'd get there the same time the bus would drop me off and I got to play Nintendo for an hour.
