The Register kind-of models itself after a tabloid style so has deliberately jokey headlines. It’s been around a long time (I read it in the 90s) and seems to have quality underneath the humor.
Possibly the only remaining place where you can read the word “boffins” regularly.

Maybe the boss said, “Remove wordwrap in headline text for this post.”

To be fair the browser default for stuff like this is often kind of bad. Like browsers would rather give you a scroll bar than do a word break.
