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:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...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!

fuck influencers, they are a plague on this world.

Given linguists are wont to confirm that English (d)evolves based on what's popular, essentially vapid influencer famewhores are driving the evolution of English, and no one with a brain cell. So if you wanted to know why 'emails' is wrong as a noun, instead of a lesson on uncountable mass nouns we get "lol, 3 trafficks today, smash that 'like' button".
