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.”

Comments 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!

Thanks for reminding me. Edited to comply 🙂

Hmm, is it just kbin or is the post still an image, not a link?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

Must be federating more slowly to kbin. It's a link to the article on this account and the two I have on other instances.. just give it a little more time, I guess? 🤷

Are we just posting regular news now? I don't get why thus is funny.

Not all satire is funny haha. Here's an example of excellent satire from The Onion that's not funny at all.

Well, they weren't going to win that state anyway. If a swing or red state followed, you wouldn't see this kind of response.

True. It's not like any non-hypocrite would ever enter THAT race.
