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 think an oubliette is a pretty secure facility. He is very much welcome to stay inside one for the entire rest of his life.

AHA! An oubliette. I know this one from The Labyrinth.

Hoggle : This is an oubliette, labyrinth's full of 'em.
Sarah : Really. I didn't know that.
Hoggle : Oh don't act so smart. You don't even know what an oubliette is.
Sarah : Do you?
Hoggle : Yes. It's a place you put people... to forget about 'em!
