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.

I've literally never used the "I'm feeling lucky" button. What does it even do?

They must have high hopes of monetizing us further with AI, to relentlessly push it on us like they're doing.

Goes to whatever the top result is without an extra click.

no😢

ai has a place in the world, but replacing something like this is not where it should be used

I'm ok with this if they also remove the stupid AI from default search
