Welcome

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:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...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, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It has to be hard to be an onion writer right now. How can you come up with a story more absurd than our current reality?

I've said for a while they should lean into it more. Embrace the absurdity and turn it on its head.

Something like "Trump correctly identifies all members of his cabinet during meeting" or "Trump to open H1B visas for ICE positions as recruitment dwindles".

The second one is pure genius.
