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!

Is it The Onion or not? This link tree links to a post posted in The Onion community

Judging by the home page, it appears to be a legitimate news source.

At best, meat grinders are amazingly thoughtless. At worst, they’re a cruel, unfunny prank.

I don't see how it could possibly be unintentional. It's too bizarre.

Neither do I, but sometimes people are just fantastically stupid.

It had been crossposted to TheOnion community on another instance, but the story is real.

Do we have a phrase for this yet? Like, we have "bit the onion", so would this be "planted the bulb"?
