      It’s going to target people with names that sound like they were hallucinated by an AI like “Carrot Slat” or “Sulu Candles.”

        Give a couple of years and they will figure out to repurpose a brain into a super computer. That is when this movie really becomes reality.

    Is it an online multiple-choice quiz that tells you which fictional serial killer you are?

      Why limit it to only the fictional ones? What’s wrong with real life heros?

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
