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!

MODERATORS
in the early-mid 90s online porn pushed tech to the limit in so many ways. first spammers were serious porn hustlers. from my pov of watching the interwebs develop, porn pushed the multimedia boundaries. and here we are again.
Porn also pushed the advent of secure online monetary transactions.
ha! that reminds me, i had a friend tell me he had to modify their database because they never expected a single transaction to reach that amount. a lot of deep pockets came out of the woodwork back then
