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 4 months ago

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

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 10 points 4 months ago

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 4 months ago

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

[-] takeda@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

The ownership changed in April this year and apparently staff was given more freedom what they can write.

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 99 points 4 months ago

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

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

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

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

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

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

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 16 points 4 months ago

It took me like 15 😭

[-] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 48 points 4 months 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 40 points 4 months ago

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 4 months 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.

Among other works

[-] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

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 4 months ago

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

Yeah, the mathematician. What about him?

That's what I used and it works on my app

Whatever you're using seems to take the > as a comment immediately

I’m using Voyager iOS, but checked this out from a browser.

Looks like this method:

>! spoiler !<

doesn’t work on our (yours & my) instance, nor Midwest Social:

Interesting that Join-Lemmy.org advocates for the format I previously showed in a code block:

yet your client supports the “greater than exclamation point” method. It makes me wonder whether your client should support it.

(Lots of folks like that method though per Lemmy GitHub!)

Which client you using? I’ll share this comment with them.

[-] GreenAppleTree@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

That was the Reddit spoiler tag, so I'm guessing they're using one of the ex-reddit clients that pivoted to Lemmy during the great migration.

Either Sync, Boost, Eternity, or.. the other one I couldn't remember the name of.

[-] WrenFeather@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

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

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 11 points 4 months ago

I think Internet Explorer is in for him too.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Naw, they're rooting for Eisenhower.
