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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...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!

What an amazing read. Thanks for sharing!
“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.
I have an odd urge to subscribe to their printed syndication
I did as soon as it was announced! I get one once a month, it’s awesome
Do you have a pic of this badboy haha?
OMG this is a thing! Seriously evaluating my need for 9 bucks every month!
$60 for a year, or $5 a month I believe
Maybe different pricing? Loading https://membership.theonion.com/ from across the pond shows 99 annual or 9/month
Dang, you’re right! I must have gotten a limited time offer that I didn’t realize
Wow. This is historic. I bet he's got hot blood moving through him fast.
would like to see what Cards Against Humanity could do with the supplement business …
Wrong sub, this article is about The Onion
The first Artikel better be about gay frogs, or I'm gonna be pissed!
*golf clap*
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
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.
Oh what if the onion guys handle turning new episodes into videos
Community name does not check out /s
It just lined up perfectly for me...
Finally some good news
Too bad the people we need to reach are literally incapable of understanding satire
let's fucking go!
