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 find it stunning that some people are so intelligent. Excel isn't merely a matter of memorizing rules and lots of practice/experience. You truly have to be sharp as hell to get on this kinda level.

Our company database is an excel sheet.

Michael Jarman, pictured between two people...

That's a funny photo caption.

"Michael Jarman, ceremonially situated between two distinguished event representatives,"

"Michael Jarman, strategically positioned in a central location with one individual stationed to his immediate left and another to his immediate right,"

The article embedded what appears to be the entire tournament… Nearly 7 1/2 hours lol.

No doubt about it, though, that intro track is absolutely lit
