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!

The US doesn't have exclusive rights to "America" as a name.

Agreed. Let's also change our demonym to Unitedstatian.

You joke but in many languages they do that, for instance "statunitensi" or "estadounidenses"

That’s also unclear, given the United States of Mexico.

Edit: I guess we could do Columbian, but I gotta assume Colombia would be annoyed and it’s not exactly descriptive of our foreign policy.
