Alright. At what point do we admit that The Onion is just serving out legitimate factual stories?

This absolutely happened, right?

[–] drdiddlybadger@pawb.social 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It took me quite the moment to realize this was the onion so likely yes.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I straight up ate the onion this time.

[–] Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Yes it sounds plausible but the timeline does not add up. When Ivanka was 14 they were still friends.

[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 55 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Damn, got me. Didn't see the community this was for a sec and it had me going.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yup. I bit too. When the Onion is this fast it's hard to catch them. The Carlson Tucker one almost got me too.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This one too plausible for satire.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

It'd be hilarious if Trump publicly denied it, turning the onion into an actual news outlet.

You can tell this is from The Onion, because their sick relationship probably never soured.

... Because they absolutely would have just taken turns

Eiffel Tower or Devil’s?

I mean, there was that post earlier today about someone having about 100 hours of voice recordings of interviews with Epstein about shit Trump told him, about the white house and otherwise.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Supposedly it did, but because Trump kept saying the quite part loud.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

Hmm, seems about right...

glances at url

ah

[–] MeaanBeaan@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

Well I ate that one.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

DAMNIT. I really ate the onion here. Good job.

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Was literally you comment that made me realise what was going on. Lord everything is cooked ATM

"If I can't have her, no one can have democracy."

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago

Hot damn this one got me.

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

I recently mused that it has got to be hard for the Onion to come up with something these days given how reality keeps catching up to satire, but this headline proves it's not just hard, it's downright impossible to satirize Trump.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Imagine doing that every day for the next four years. Please vote.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

For Kamala, specifically.

[–] naonintendois@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

Wow I almost fell for this. Sounds so believable in today's atmosphere.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

*Not-the-Onion

Guys, why are y'all just topping the least funny Onion articles? It's mostly political stuff ☹️
