Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone’s minds. It’s certainly on mine.
But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, “By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America’s finest news source.” A lot of stories being posted lately don’t even remotely fit that.
That doesn’t mean political stories aren’t allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it’s a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don’t fit.
Funnily enough that was the one in the list I least reacted to. It’s all subjective I’d imagine: It’s all nonsense, without question… but they all still technically fit the bill.
