It's not fair, it sounds so plausible!
Fuck, yeah it got me too
(in fairness i'm tipsy rn)
I think this site also had a really funny article about an alpha male that touched a tampon and ended up in an ER.
damn, good thing I'm a woman. sending my condolences to the victim and his family
Bro had UHC too
100% something they'd do, which makes it even easier to swallow the onion
Yeah, it is fucking sad to say that I had to double check and make sure this wasn't a not-the-onion story.
Honest question. At what point do people proclaim this? Did you read the article or did you internally respond before checking the source?
No. You read the headline, and react. Just the same as any other article. Then you see the community posted, laugh, and reply "ate the onion".
See in the 90s, the whole point of the onion (the actual original paper distributed onion newsletter) was to grab peoples attention and fool them into thinking it's a real headline.
Thats what happened here. I believed it was a legit headline. Thus, I ate the onion.
also fuckin at it (not completely sober)
Would sir like fries with that 🍟
People who thought this was real - don't feel bad, it's a reference to Florida's REAL "Don't Say Gay" law, enacted in 2023, that bans the word from public schools.
yeah... we're cooked.

It's not as common now but I've met somebody who's first name is Gay.
Who's that guy over there? Well that's Homosexual Smith; the heterosexual.
"The plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was the Enola Homosexual"
I knew a woman whose first name was Gay but she always went by her middle name.
Actually Homosexual Smith sounds like a famous frontiersman or maybe an Old West preacher.
Oof, they got me on that one.
Thought it was real. Can't blame me though.
Yeah, it’s sadly believable. Ron is that much of a culture war stoking prick.
The Flinstones theme safe?
Absolutely NOT. Fred Flintstone drove a zero-emissions vehicle, which is yabba-dabba-WOKE!
Technically, the power source for his vehicle does have an exhaust port that occasionally puts out methane gas.
Alternative fuel vehicle, barefoot, and earthen home? Woke af
That was addressed at the end of the article.
At press time, Governor DeSantis banned reruns of “The Flintstones” after learning the family was having a “gay old time” in every episode.
Oh, wait, that's The Onion.
the hard times, but yeah, I almost bought it too.
This onion tastes particularly oniony.
I had a nice bite myself.
Doh! I got caught out again.
Lol I didn't notice this was the Onion at first and genuinely thought this was real.
Yep. I bit it hard. Honestly, I'm mote surprised it isn't real at this point. It's totally something he'd do.
Gay People Respond by Signing Bill to Remove Ron DeSantis
He signed the bill because every time he hears the word 'gay', he thinks about shoving some D in his mouth. nom nom nom slurp slurp
Yes, they should replace them with the word 'homosexual' to be more modern 😉
Ok, I didn't read the Community title and thought it was real. Because I trust him to do something like this. Or at least try it.
Why are you giving him ideas?
"Don we now, our happy apparial!"
Bro it was right there.
“Don we now, our hay apparel!”
"Dom me now, on a homosexual barrel!"
What's even the point of celebrating if the yuletide isn't gay
yup I bit it
The Flintstones have entered the chat.

How many Christmas songs are there that contain the word "gay"? I can't think of any?
Now we don our gay apparel, la la la la la
Make the yueltide gay
deck the halls
After the congresswoman actually turned out to be in memory care I don't believe anything anymore. Not even my own name.
