Why is The Onion publishing real news these days?

[–] potoo22@programming.dev 100 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This was published in 2018. They publish prophecies.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"No way to stop this, says only nation where this regularly happens." Is probably the most prophetic so far, since it gets redecorated and posted again every so often.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Can they start making happier prophecies then?

I so much wish this was satire.

You know the Onion is cooking when you swallow it whole without even tasting it. This is the second one I fall for this week.

You didn't swallow the onion.

Reality did.

"I have an Article 2 where I have the right to do whatever I want as president." Satire is dead. Trump shot it in broad daylight and didn't lose a single vote.

Seems demonstrably true without satire.

Surprisingly enough it’s working, idiocracy was a documentary folks.

It's right in there with the clause where all the 2A fans claiming defence against out of control gov lay down and kiss ass if it's only against 'those' people.

[–] donald_brady@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago
