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!

If I can slap it in a collapsible sub, I can slap it in an airplane!

Besides, it's not like it's supposed to be what's holding the door plug on.

Everyone single part on a plane has to be certified and from a certified supplier that goes through a stupid process to be certified.

Well, some of it ain't stupid.

Imagine the shortcuts Boeing would take if they were beholden to no certifications at all.

Yeah we'd have planes falling out of the skies!

Or worse, unplanned.
