This isn't even a joke. The article doesn't actually show a list or anything. It's 2 paragraphs and they just say they compiled a list. I dunno if the article itself is an Onion-like satirical joke or just fucking awful.

Hard Drive is a satirical site like The Onion but focused on technology.

Bravo to them, in that case. It reads like it was from a real shitty rag of a news site. A graphic of the empty list would have been nice, but also a bit too obvious I suppose.

I was wondering what that article was on about!? But knowing that, I will follow that news outlet more closely for the lols...

All they needed was a colon at the end of the article

They tried to phrase the joke as "opening paragraph, conclusion paragraph, therefore empty middle section" but yeah I agree it wasn't so clear
