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.”

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!

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

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!
