A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

As a former child, welcome to 3rd grade 😂

No offense though, it's just one of those rites of passage that seems to be everywhere...until you find out it's not.

I literally learned it from a Bloodhound Gang song. Never heard anything like it in the UK.

That may be where it came from around here, I don't know many songs by BHG so I never heard that one. Probably a classmate with an older sibling or something.

Wherever there's trouble, we're there on the double / We're the Bloodhound Gang
