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!

I know it's a joke, but you've missed the dollar symbol. That's the fine in USD.

Literally the first part of the sentence lol

But you still had to "explain it". It's a joke. The whole thing, including the ridiculous number (with a dollar sign) is a joke not to be taken seriously.

Yeah, it wasn't my brightest moment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
