I know reality is off the rails and makes satirisits' jobs hard, but sometimes the Onion proves that they still got it and they are at the top of their game.

Edit: it's not the onion I guess. My bad. Saw the comm icon and thought it was the favicon for the link.

It's also the onion subreddit or whatever lemmy calls it. It's still a satirical site similar to Onion
