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.”
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!

MODERATORS
There are situations where it isn't: loosing the morher and baby at the same time - you look outside and there is this baboon making fun of it.
But if you look at a Scrooge like situation it might poke someone in the right direction also.
It would be more appropriate to be in a grim reaper costume in front of smoke shops / liquor stores. Nobody would raise an eyebrow. And that's still funny while being the good guy reminding people of the dangers.
Remember Death cigarettes?
It's personal taste. Just because it's not okay doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Neurodivergent people are facing bad reactions from others every day each day.
Anyhow, just as I said, I find it funny. Surprisingly I thought especially the British (source) are a fan of dark humor.
Still, your opinion is fine too of course!
