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!

Correction: Nazis - and only nazis - often sing the first one.
Are you sure? I may be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time, but I have the impression that people sing easily “Deutschland über alles”.
(For context, I never lived in Germany, but always near the border, so I have sometimes a distorted vision of what occurs there)
The first stanza is not officially banned but it's only really sung by nazis or edgy teenagers.
Or maybe by old people accidentally because they learned it from their parents as the normal anthem when they were children.
