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!

  1. Even dickheads love their dogs. Find a way to connect to those you disagree with. “The obvious mistakes of those who find themselves in opposition are to break off relations with those who disagree with you,” texts Vera Krichevskaya, the co-founder of TV Rain, Russia’s last independent TV station. “You cannot allow anger and narrow your circle.”

  2. Pay in cash. Ask yourself what an international drug trafficker would do, and do that.

He’s thinking about flying a SpaceX rocket to Mars and raping and pillaging its rare earth minerals before anyone else can get there. We need a 30-year road map out of this.

  1. Take the piss. Humour is a weapon. Any man who feels the need to build a rocket is not overconfident about his masculinity. Work with that.

Yes we are.

Name one other species that shows the levels of love and care that humans can?

We are lead by the worst examples of humanity, but they do not represent or act like what a normal person does.

Lol you had so many truely excellent arguments to make about our technological prowess or our society building abilities and you chose love? Dude my cat loved me more this afternoon snoozing on the couch with me than I've felt from all of humanity minus my own partner, mother father sister and brother. Ever.

. . . So you still felt more love from a human?

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Me? A human? Yeah. I have. Do you not think a horse feels more love from another horse than it does its human owner?

Clueless....

Humans are not special or unique, except in their ability to ruin everything around them. Though I suppose wild hogs do that pretty good, and if we want to get technical cancers might compete with us in our ability to fuck up our own host....
