The Rules

...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.

The original meaning of the word "hacking" is just "to get something to work in a way it was not meant to work".

So the hacker mindset of finding workarounds or unforseen scenarios applies to a lot of things, not just devices and systems (such as games) but also human processes.
