We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

You got that backward. Radio is a form of light/electromagnetism, not the other way around. Radio is a specific band of the light spectrum (about 3e-12THz to 3THz). Visible light is what we can see, and falls along a different part of the light spectrum (about 400-790THz)
