The Rules

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.

What do you mean? This is "not the onion". Didn't you see the video from the governor? Its all very serious.

I feel in reaction Indiana will rename Michigan City, Michigan will reclaim the Toledo strip, and Ohio will Ohio.

Ohio will Ohio

You mean rename it after another famous place, but misspell/mispronounce it?

And Hell, Michigan stays the same I assume.
