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!

Must be one expensive meal to be 1/20th the cost of an American ambulance.

$50 vs $1000, rough approximations

My last ambulance ride was $3,400. After insurance I was still on the hook for 1,700 iirc

The exact ratio depends entirely on the your personal limit for when you see a bill and say "Yup, definitely heart attack worthy"
