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 was eating Pizza at Amici in San Rafael, CA when news came across that Princess Diana died. Someone at the table said we’d all remember that moment for the rest of our lives. It’s been true me.
