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!

“The Onion is proud to acquire Infowars, and we look forward to continuing its storied tradition of scaring the site’s users with lies until they fork over their cold, hard cash,” said The Onion CEO Ben Collins. “Or Bitcoin. We will also accept Bitcoin.”

From the CNN.com article.

Through it all, InfoWars has shown an unswerving commitment to manufacturing anger and radicalizing the most vulnerable members of society—values that resonate deeply with all of us at Global Tetrahedron.

This is perhaps too onion-y, but somebody has to drop it in the thread:

The Onion's statement on the purchase

It's funny how today is one of the few days where posting that would be not the onion

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah if you read it it's definitely still the onion

Wrong sub, this article is about The Onion

I have an odd urge to subscribe to their printed syndication

[–] Gingerlegs 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

OMG this is a thing! Seriously evaluating my need for 9 bucks every month!

[–] Gingerlegs 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

$60 for a year, or $5 a month I believe

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe different pricing? Loading https://membership.theonion.com/ from across the pond shows 99 annual or 9/month

[–] Gingerlegs 4 points 22 hours ago

Dang, you’re right! I must have gotten a limited time offer that I didn’t realize

I hope JorDan from knowledge fight get a chance to work with the onion, no one knows alex's brain better than Dan and could write a perfect spoof version

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Omfg I didn't even think about that possibility, that would be perfect, if Dan really gets Alex's desk I am gonna explode with laughter.
