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 was close! I figured he'd just watched The Rock.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

The story is far too complex for him in that one

[–] Astrophage@lemy.lol 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I bet we can tie a lot of his actions to the boob tube schedule

Nah he fell asleep watching The Rock, that’s more his style.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like he belongs in retirement home.

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Sounds like he wants to renovate his retirement home.

I genuinely want somebody who thinks this is a good idea to explain to me why this is better than building a new maximum security prison on the mainland.
