What are the major world news that you got from weird sources (and maybe wish you had heard first from legit news sources)? - Lemmy.World

My random tales: One night, playing bunch of Halo, I got an Xbox 360 voice message. “Message to all recent players. Fukushima nuclear power plant just exploded. You should stock up on iodine tablets.” (I almost sent back a message saying “thanks for your concern, but I’m in the Chernobyl fallout zone and I turned out just fine thank you”) Pluto photographs from New Horizons? Frigging NASA retweet. Most recently, I got a random Discord message from a British YouTuber I follow saying “the Queen just died, please be respectful and stuff”.

I learned that justin timberlake got arrested from a steam notification that said “Justin Timberlake (DUI enjoyer) is now playing Team Fortress 2”

Oh man this gave me flashbacks of some of the hilarious server wide messages people spent $100 on.
