Not The Onion

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!

The idiocy of naming your kid Khaleesi aside, the UK just decided that a corporation can own your name and prevent you from enjoying the rights of your citizenship.

That's pretty fucked.

Edit - Apparently they did backtrack. But it's still amazing that anyone even thought that was a thing.

Regina, Adelina, Cesare, surely there are other names.

Rex ~ Regina, but thanks for Zoltan, made me remember Basil by association.

EDIT: And Despina. EDIT2: There don't seem to be many people called Despot, but Tiran (not Tigran) is a name one can sometimes encounter among Armenians.

Zoltan?

Isn’t that a race in FTL?

Used to work with a Zoltan.
