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!

Wait, what? Article says the guy had real plutonium. That is scary. Quantity is not specified though. Also doesn't say where the plutonium came from. He also had a bunch of what sounds like non-fissionable uranium and thorium. They hype that up some, but it is less of a threat.
Why is this on /nottheonion?
The nuclear materials make the headline, but the real story is that they were trading it for meth and heroine.
I want to know how they got the nuke stuff in the first place. That's potentially much more disruptive than any number of drug deals.
How's Russian border security?
TBH I disagree, I think the Heroine and Meth are worse. I could elaborate but I feel like it would take a while.
