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!

I honestly wonder at a certain point the human brain switches back into a scarcity mindset once you hit the point beyond which the sums are fathomable anymore. For instance, for most of us, when we hear about 800c000 dollars, the brain goes “Hey, that’s a lot of money”, but I wonder if someone who has 8 million thinks at some level “whoa, I only have 8 of something—best be careful with it!!”
