The Onion and its six-member editorial board do not listen to outsiders. Nor do we listen to data, facts, polls, the U.S. government, or the widely panned Geneva Conventions.

But The Onion and its six-member editorial board do not listen to outsiders. Nor do we listen to data, facts, polls, the U.S. government, or the widely panned Geneva Conventions.

I love it.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 50 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Finally someone said it. I'm tired of the country of Geneva enforcing its conventions on me and how I approach wars.

Stop telling me what color shapes I can and cannot use, Geneva!

Joe Biden may be young by Washington standards

They really aren't pulling their punches!

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

The whole thing is brilliant. The Onion has been on fire lately.

I guess none of you noticed the editorial board has a signature from Ted Kaczynski, aka Unabomber.

I have never actually read The Onion, I just like seeing their headlines.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 23 points 1 month ago

There's some fun articles. Although I think they frequently drag on a little too long for a gag given my preference for not reading more than a few paragraphs at a time.

I need to wake up. I went to sleep drunk, I woke up feeling still drunk.

I read your username as "DopeSalad"

Thats not even CLOSE!

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago

Don’t worry. It’s nothing serious anyways. There is a band named Hopesfall. I thought it was dumb so I came up with that.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

They're now in newspaper format again, if that helps!

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

Sure. Just a joke.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

pretty incredible that they managed to get his signature even though he’s dead

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

That's only of you listen to data. Stop listening to data.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 71 points 1 month ago (1 children)

upset at myself for taking a whole 10 seconds to get the joke

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago

It took me like 15 😭

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 50 points 1 month ago

I'm a Republican who Does Her Own Research and I TOLD you Libtards that Biden was still in the Race! The whole Kamala thing was a SHAM! HOW can they Endorse Biden if he isn't running STUPIDS!

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lest readers doubt the value of our endorsement, we ask them to remember 2016, when voter complacency almost put Hillary Clinton in the White House before The Onion stepped in. 

We really dodged a bullet on that one! (/j)

[–] frezik@midwest.social 5 points 1 month ago

The Onion wanted to play on hard mode. How do you write satire when that shit head was in the White House?

You might know him for his academic papers.

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago

Among other works

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you joke but this is how he's brightly discussed in some circles lol I have seen some concerning publications that refer to him as uncle Ted and other light-hearted names in a similar context

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Seems like it's up there with the killdozer Fandom. Casual terrorism... Or living the American dream?

This is a great joke! It took me a second even after I saw the source. Well done!

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I think Internet Explorer is in for him too.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Naw, they're rooting for Eisenhower.
