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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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 hear some Oscar winners go on to work in some really un-oscar films -- and they didn't take the Oscars back. Similarly I had a great day on 14 Aug 1999 and some really un-good days after.

Is it okay to pick someone's best achievement and demand that excellence every day? Please answer how you're doing the same in your own life.
