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 is quite a paradox. It's a true story, not satire, meaning that it does belong on /c/nottheonion; and I would indeed look at the headline and think "That has got to be a story from The Onion, America's Finest News Source." But it's definitely about the satire newspaper and website The Onion, which is explicitly what this community is not about. It says so in the name!
We don't have a community called "quantum superposition of onion", so this will have to do
Seems like we both do and don't, which is the best possible outcome I think.
It's about The Onion, not in The Onion.
Still alliacious.
Ah, new word unlocked.
Alliaceous is an adjective meaning to resemble, smell, or taste like garlic or onions. It often describes plants belonging to the Allium genus, such as leeks, chives, and shallots, which are characterized by their pungent, pungent, and savory scent.
Thank you, saved me the trouble of looking it up! There's a word I'll probably never find occasion to use.
But I would really love to.
Next time someone doesn't put enough onion in a dish you can ask for it to be "more alliacious."
They're pungent and pungent!
Sorry, yeah. I'm using it to mean "of or relating to onions."
No shit. I thought you meant in relation to garlic. Thank you for clarifying.
I have decided by fiat that it is, in fact, une pipe.
If it's a pipe, then let's see you try to smoke something out of it
Well you can also pronounce the name of the community as "not the onion" as in "oh no its the onion!"
Run for your lives!
