I think 70% of the recent posts seem onion-y or would be if it were claiming any other person except a handful of people who regularly say things that I'd have assumed were the Onion pre-Trump.
The Onion has generally been political, with a bias towards US politics, and Not the Onion is for news... so the posts should generally be political news mixed with some lighthearted nonsense news.
Also, one of the less oniony stories is one I upvoted without realizing where it was posted just because it seemed funny and it was one of the non-political news stories.
My current phone is almost 3.5 years old and I have no intention on upgrading anytime soon, but in the past I did tend to have to replace a phone about every two years. Mostly because POGO (and my being rough with them). Ports being damaged (and me not knowing how to repair them myself and others wanting to charge the cost of a new phone to repair it), being dropped, etc.
