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!

Except it's literally not the onion

God damnit I bit an onion that wasn't even there lol.

The source, A.V. Club, was founded as a sister company to The Onion, just not satirical. It was part of the same company until last year or so.

Well thanks for the benefit of the doubt. But I totally face planted and deserve it.

Such a beautiful, slow motion faceplant though, a 9 from the Russian judge.

Either way, it's maybe the perfect source to accidentally conflate with The Onion.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

And the perfectly wrong community to do it lol

Onions are pretty tasty 🤷‍♂️

Apparently lol. After his previous stances, I thought no way is it real. It's like MTG fighting for the ACA. I was like, no fuckin way is this real. But 2025 yo. Everything is ridiculous, nothing is probable, everything is dangerous and wildly likely. Who fuckin knows at this point? I honestly wouldn't be surprised by flying scorpions at this point. Like you keep assuming it can't get worse but it always does. So fucking flying scorpions doesn't sound that far fetched anymore.

Sign a strike card https://www.generalstrikeus.com/ and tell your friends, too.

P. S. Sorry, I reflexively posted this in my panicked desperation, but I don't mean to hijack the thread like a bot. I think I'm just amped up for the protest today.

it seems MTG has a falling out with the rest of the gop for some time now, which is why shes fighting them now.

Nah she's just opporunistic. She's a populist above all.

Plus apparently her kids premiums are going to double, so she has a personal issue with it now.
