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!

This is not only real, it's not the first time it happens. It's a well known problem that occurs all over the world wherever humans erect steel post and also have dogs at pets.

Yeah I live nowhere near the sea and this was the cause of a stop sign falling over near a park.

It's socially unacceptable to get mad at people for letting their dog piss everywhere yet when cats do it, it's all hands on deck to eliminate the pest.

The only time a cat ever pissed everywhere was when it was sick, and everywhere was all over my apartment.

We were cat sitting and I’m mildly allergic. It was definitely all hands on deck to clean that piss up, it was suffocatingly stinky.
