how is this news?

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Reminds me of this story. Some guy went into a Macdonalds in Paris, which for some reason had security guards, and they evidently tried to forcibly remove his G-glasses, which were surgically attached to his head. I believe there was a rumor that the place was mobbed up.

Nah, she'd only be a hero if she smacked zuck in the face.
