Definitely of the headlines of all time.

I’m not even bothering opening the article, the rant is for the channel or whatever the room is called in Lemmy
It’s a good time to blacklist this news source.

That’s a confusing headline. Let’s make it better:
Mars Spiders Swarm Inca City!

TLDR: It’s gas deposits, not Martian spiders… yet.

They really expect us to believe this shit!? Those are definitely large alien spiders that are coming to the surface to mate and multiply as they prepare to attack Earth. I need to join up with United Citizen Federation, quick. I suggest you all do the same…

Scientists baffled! (cue image of guys wearing glasses and white labcoats, clipboard in hand, ready to take notes at the drop of a pin)

ITT people on this thread need to listen to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds

What are the chances of that?

It happens every spring, so chances are high.

I would love it if publications could just limit their headlines to one misleading term per story. The rocks are a ‘city’? Sure. The geysers looks like ‘spiders’? I guess. But when you start putting them together in the same headline it feels like your breaking the fourth wall or something

Yeah its hard to read as quote spiders unquote quote inca city unquote. New articles should not be doing this. geez at least put so called or something.

At least they’re in quotes, I guess.
