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:
- 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, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

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.
And the perfectly wrong community to do it lol
