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:

  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.”

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!

I love how reporting things like this generates downvotes on the topic even though OP took the time to paste actual screenshots proving it to be true.

I downvoted it because it's not Onion-y as described in community rule 4:

would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

That is fair, although if you read some of the newest Onion articles it definitely sounds like them.
