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!

If I had a penny for every time in the past day or so I read "nuttier than squirrel …" I would have two pennies, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

There used to be a tv advert for a chocolate bar called Topic. You can watch it here. Memes in those days used to travel by word of mouth but kids up and down the country were encouraged by older brothers and sisters to yell 'Squirrel shit' in answer to the sung prompt, "What has a hazelnut in every bite?"
