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...

- ...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.

I thought "not the onion" wasn't supposed to be satire, except I don't know if this even counts as satire, this is just dumb. Literally the same joke, every time.
This is the sort of fantasy right wingers imagine themselves pulling off in the name... I dunno freedom?
Exactly...
"Owning the [insert taste of the month]".
It's the same exact shit as "how can you tell someone's vegan? - THEY'LL TELL YOU ABOUT IT!!!, yet in my entire 30+ years of life I've never heard anyone ever say they're vegan or vegetarian or anything unless asked about, but I have a feeling I won't stop hearing someone announce that they eat meat AND MEAT ONLY or some shit like that until I die.
Shit got tired before it even started, because it's just the same old shit in a different wrapper.
I thought the one joke was "I identify as an attack helicopter"
Wait...I thought the onion was satire and 'not the onion' was news so pythonesque it looks like satire?
No that's it exactly, lol, we're getting lost in a jungle of double-negatives.
