Welcome
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...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...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.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

This community is "Not The Onion@lemmy.world". It is not really for serious shit. If you don't recognize a comment saying "living her best life" about someone who is abusive towards kids as a non-serious comment, then sadly you need some sort of help getting the stick out of your butthole.
Also, just to be clear and make sure that you do not take this comment seriously: I do not mean that you have an actual stick inside your butthole. In fact, I have no opinion on your butthole, like at all.
tone indicators would be very, very, very helpful
especially when the other comment here was just “Queen.”
I can't time travel. I won't see comments that are made later than mine as I type it in. And regardless of the certain oneway direction of time, I still wouldn't be responsible for any other comments that I didn't make.
Also, no. Get the gist of a "Crazy news from all over the world" community. I'm not going to put a "THIS IS A JOKE" in front of my obvious jokes. Some people on the very edge of the spectrum might not get it, but that's just a price I'm willing to pay.
29% of people who voted on your comment did not get it, and several neurotypical people have told you they don't get it. Lemmings have genuine extreme takes in nottheonion comments all the time: don't tell me you've never heavily disagreed with someone here before.
And that other op is still kinda defending their original comment too.
Go whine at them then for fuck's sake. Block me. Block everyone that offends you.
You're not the only one allowed to comment on forums. Deal with it.
But you get to decide what I'm allowed to comment? 🙄
Replying to you with an opinion isn't telling you to block everyone with a different opinion than yours.

Sure it's NotTheOnion, but that doesn't make the articles posted here any less serious. I'd say this community highlights the downright absurdity that is modern society, but that doesn't mean the stories are lighthearted fun.
