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 mean, you're not wrong, but there's the difference between, "it'll hurt" and "you're going to have to go to the hospital because it'll be like shoving a power washer up your vagina." Someone might be willing to risk the pain out of convenience or because they want a funny picture, but they're not going to do it if it'll result in a hospital trip. If you're going to have dangerous rides, then you should be informing people about why they're dangerous to stop people from trying to apply "common sense", attempt "funny stunts", or just be lazy.
