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've heard that some apps may make it a little too easy for some users to accidentally up/down vote without realizing. I've definitely caught a few accidental votes myself, so I'm not sure how many more I didn't notice. Also, totally random anecdote, but the pockets in my "house pants" have a weird fabric that combined with the on body detection to keep my phone unlocked sometimes allows my thighs to "butt dial" if I put my phone in my pocket with the screen facing my body, and I'm sure other people have similar stories about accidental inputs, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
