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!

Not sure about Malaysia, but in a lot of countries once you get tenure you can just start saying crazy shit, especially when it's completely unrelated to your area of expertise...
Especially with language, it's pretty easy to have a very very narrow range of education. Loads of people move to another country and then become "experts" on their native language.
