Not The Onion
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!
Isn't the Daily Star basically a tabloid, or am I thinking of something with a similar name?
It's also cute that right wing Christians think they'd be raptured since Jesus would be returning to, in part, punish the shit out of them.
The Star is somewhere between The Sun (a Rupert Murdoch spec tabloid rag with a "publish first, verify sources later" approach) and The Sport (contrary to its name, is less about the development and performance of elite ball games, and more about substituting the journalism with as much softcore pornography as possible).
Admittedly, the Star is highly entertaining - like the "nottheonion" comm in print form, with an approach more like a magazine than a newspaper. It's usually a fraction cheaper than most of the major tabloids too.
It must be the Sun that I was thinking of.
Yes, and, if you were using piefed.social there would be a little red warning icon next to any post that links to the daily star, with a popup saying "Tabloid".
After reading most of the article, because frankly even that was too much, it sounds like it's people on Twitter trolling them.
Maybe it eventually got some buy-in from the unraptured, but doesn't appear to be where the idea started.
I don’t get it, Rapture was released back in 1981 by Blondie…
~~Is she~~ Are they doing a remaster?
You can listen to any song any time you want these days, what's the problem?
They just can't wait to get to that glorious pie in the sky.
