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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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.

The ear is about the only thing this really works with. There’s not much special going on with it, it’s just shaped flesh and cartilage. You don’t even need nerves in the ear to use it, since literally everything happens inside your head.

You couldn’t do this with pretty much anything else really.

They do that with feet and hands routinely.
