WASHINGTON—In a move that significantly restricts the eligibility of thousands of American troops to fight for their country on the front lines, senior U.S. military officials announced Wednesday that all men with girl names would now be forbidden from serving in combat roles.

    That’s the issue though, isn’t it? If people clicked into every link, we wouldn’t need a fake news com. But sometimes people don’t, and spreading bullshit is still spreading bullshit

      this is the chapotraphouse comm, not the news comm. If you are browsing the Chapotraphouse comm and expecting to find news headlines or posts that aren’t satire, I’m not sure what to tell you other than ‘go to the news comm’.

      If people clicked into every link, we wouldn’t need a fake news com.

      The reason we have a fake news comm is because Melina wanted it & did a comm request for it. You are coming at this as if the fake news comm was created to contain non-serious posts, when that was not the case.

        I just scroll the front page, where I unsubbed from fake news because that shit is annoying as fuck. Do you really expect people to click on to every single link?

          No but I think at least seeing ‘oh this was posted to chapotraphouse’ would key you in that maybe the headline US Military Banning Men With Girl Names From Combat isn’t serious and you would click on it before committing it to memory as something real that is happening/commenting.

          Maybe this is just me though.

            People post real news to this sub sometimes. It is not unreasonable to think that a person banning the fake news sub thinks they’re banning fake news. We don’t enter this world with the deep lore on fakenews’ origin story.

              satire and joke posts shall be relegated specifically to the fakenews comm - EVERY OTHER COMM IS FOR SERIOUS POSTS ONLY.

            there are 4 real articles on the first page of this comm right now. and before someone makes some smug comment about not reading the article, i did click it to read it and went “oh damn it this is the onion”

            idc that much but it is a little annoying to have real news mixed in with fake news, and i prefer being able to hide those sorts of posts altogether.
