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!

For the record, I do delare, that the Best Lake be named for the Best State. So now, hence forth and forever, Lake Superior shall be known as Lake Minnesota.

And Canadians, if you have a problem with that, shoulda renamed it faster.

We already did — it’s named after Canada. Why did you think it was called Lake Superior?

Careful, we won't have burn units here in the US for much longer.

you can't just un-rename something I just renamed like that! that's not allowed- it's against the rules I just made up!

(also... Canada isn't a state/province... do you really want BC getting in on this?)

As a resident of BC… I already have!

And I declare my toilet as "Baby Ruth presents: The Northern South Texas Community Pool for Doodoos, Nudity, Lemmy, and Dead Legs"

I mean, it's your toilet.... call it what you want... but "the baby ruth presents: the Northern South Texas Community Pool for Doodoos, Nudity, Lemmy, and Dead legs" might be a little unwieldly....
