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!

Ya gotta feel bad for them.
I grew up in a rural area around farms. Knew farmers. I never thought about where food came from...it was kind of obvious.
Now I never had to kill my own chicken or anything, but poor city dwellers are so isolated they have no chance to understand.
They're like the people in Brave New World, taught that everything "out there" is bad, dangerous, deadly.
(On that note, Chicago, NY, Philly, Baltimore, LA, Portland, etc, would like a word).
… flip the script dude… sounds like you’re afraid of city people
Yeah not in my experience. Who told you that?
People are bad at statistics. Murder numbers might be high in some places that the original comment named but 1. The populations are larger and 2. Violent crime is a minority of overall crime. Murder is a tiny fraction of violent crime
City people….isolated? That’s an interesting take lmao.
