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:
- 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.
And that’s basically it!

This is actually the main plot in Orson Scott Card's "Worthing Saga", although I've seen the concept explored in Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth series and Richard Morgan's Takashi Kovacs novels.
It's a fascinating concept to think about, and frankly depressing because it feels uncomfortably close to the reality we're headed towards.
