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!

That has got to be the weirdest effing story angle..... I mean, somebody went to a publisher, pitched that headline, and they responded with "Run with it".........

I don't think many news sites nowadays care about publishing actual meaningful news articles

There is so much stupid in "news" these days, this didn't even stand out to me.

What a timeline to live in.. :|

well, look at the source of the article.... makes you wonder what the editors didn't approve.
