We are used to bizarre headlines. Fewer bizarre headlines on an otherwise reputable site.
This is what seems to be a headline that is causing confusion and outrage in the world : Apparently the federal government has decided to make masks compulsory for the photo on the identity card.
Just like in the screenshot above, many people seem to notice the headline, as the queries show us... but we keep saying it: look closely!

A look up
On smartphones, most people don't pay attention to the URL, which already gives an indication of the nature of the article, but a look at the headline also shows that the article is not quite as serious as many people think:
A look through the glass eye
Even if the world is otherwise a more serious news site, serious authors also have to relax sometimes - and that works well if you either watch cute cat videos or simply go overboard and write a satirical article - and that's the glass eye !
Even if you rigorously overlook all the satire references in the URL and above the article, you should become suspicious at one point in the article at the latest:
“People with respiratory problems and a medical certificate, ghosts with sheets over their heads and the extremely busy bar visitor Darth Vader are exempt from the regulation. Pictures in which a boxing world champion is shouldered are also irregular because he already has a certain weight. “In addition, Henry Mask is gradually getting tired of being constantly teased about his name.”
Glasauge's self-description also makes it clear:
“Serious journalism, balanced reporting, first-rate pictures of puppies – GLASAUGE, WELT’s satirical magazine, should stand for all of this according to the wishes of its founders. Unfortunately, this order only reached the editorial team incomplete. Nevertheless, GLASS EYE has developed into one of the most valuable sources of information on the Internet and regularly causes a sensation with its revelations about God, the peaceful use of the Iranian atomic bomb and images of, among other things, naked mole rats.”

Conclusion
It's not enough to simply read a headline. You should really, really get into the habit of reading the corresponding article and looking closely.
That saves us a lot of “ Is that right? "-Requests. 😉
