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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I was about to find the gayest apparel I could in reaction.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lol I didn't notice this was the Onion at first and genuinely thought this was real.

[–] Cethin 5 points 2 days ago

Yep. I bit it hard. Honestly, I'm mote surprised it isn't real at this point. It's totally something he'd do.

It's not fair, it sounds so plausible!

I think this site also had a really funny article about an alpha male that touched a tampon and ended up in an ER.

Yeah, it is fucking sad to say that I had to double check and make sure this wasn't a not-the-onion story.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Honest question. At what point do people proclaim this? Did you read the article or did you internally respond before checking the source?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

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.

Oh, wait, that's The Onion.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

the hard times, but yeah, I almost bought it too.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 days ago

Oof, they got me on that one.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

yeah... we're cooked.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Thought it was real. Can't blame me though.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

Yeah, it’s sadly believable. Ron is that much of a culture war stoking prick.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The Flinstones theme safe?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Absolutely NOT. Fred Flintstone drove a zero-emissions vehicle, which is yabba-dabba-WOKE!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Alternative fuel vehicle, barefoot, and earthen home? Woke af

[–] stephen01king 6 points 3 days ago

Technically, the power source for his vehicle does have an exhaust port that occasionally puts out methane gas.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

Yes, they should replace them with the word 'homosexual' to be more modern 😉

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This onion tastes particularly oniony.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I had a nice bite myself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Doh! I got caught out again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (3 children)

How many Christmas songs are there that contain the word "gay"? I can't think of any?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Now we don our gay apparel, la la la la la

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Make the yueltide gay

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Gay People Respond by Signing Bill to Remove Ron DeSantis

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Conservatives, you have fucked up, because I didn't even get surprised by this, it really just seemed like something you guys would do these days.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Why are you giving him ideas?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

"Don we now, our happy apparial!"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

“Don we now, our hay apparel!”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

"Dom me now, on a homosexual barrel!"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

What's even the point of celebrating if the yuletide isn't gay

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The Flintstones have entered the chat.
