It's not fair, it sounds so plausible!

[-] kittehx 28 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Fuck, yeah it got me too

(in fairness i'm tipsy rn)

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

I think this site also had a really funny article about an alpha male that touched a tampon and ended up in an ER.

[-] kittehx 4 points 10 months ago

damn, good thing I'm a woman. sending my condolences to the victim and his family

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Bro had UHC too

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

100% something they'd do, which makes it even easier to swallow the onion

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Yeah, it is fucking sad to say that I had to double check and make sure this wasn't a not-the-onion story.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Honest question. At what point do people proclaim this? Did you read the article or did you internally respond before checking the source?

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

No. You read the headline, and react. Just the same as any other article. Then you see the community posted, laugh, and reply "ate the onion".

See in the 90s, the whole point of the onion (the actual original paper distributed onion newsletter) was to grab peoples attention and fool them into thinking it's a real headline.

Thats what happened here. I believed it was a legit headline. Thus, I ate the onion.

[-] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

also fuckin at it (not completely sober)

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Would sir like fries with that 🍟

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 45 points 10 months ago

Oof, they got me on that one.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 43 points 10 months ago

Thought it was real. Can't blame me though.

[-] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 16 points 10 months ago

Yeah, it’s sadly believable. Ron is that much of a culture war stoking prick.

[-] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 28 points 10 months ago

The Flinstones theme safe?

[-] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 47 points 10 months ago

Absolutely NOT. Fred Flintstone drove a zero-emissions vehicle, which is yabba-dabba-WOKE!

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago

Technically, the power source for his vehicle does have an exhaust port that occasionally puts out methane gas.

[-] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Alternative fuel vehicle, barefoot, and earthen home? Woke af

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

That was addressed at the end of the article.

At press time, Governor DeSantis banned reruns of “The Flintstones” after learning the family was having a “gay old time” in every episode.

[-] Earflap@reddthat.com 24 points 10 months ago

This onion tastes particularly oniony.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I had a nice bite myself.

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Doh! I got caught out again.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 22 points 10 months ago

Oh, wait, that's The Onion.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

the hard times, but yeah, I almost bought it too.

[-] BigBenis@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Lol I didn't notice this was the Onion at first and genuinely thought this was real.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

Yep. I bit it hard. Honestly, I'm mote surprised it isn't real at this point. It's totally something he'd do.

[-] Squorlple@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Gay People Respond by Signing Bill to Remove Ron DeSantis

[-] Zier@fedia.io 12 points 10 months ago

He signed the bill because every time he hears the word 'gay', he thinks about shoving some D in his mouth. nom nom nom slurp slurp

[-] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 11 points 10 months ago

Yes, they should replace them with the word 'homosexual' to be more modern 😉

[-] Fritzer@feddit.org 8 points 10 months ago

Ok, I didn't read the Community title and thought it was real. Because I trust him to do something like this. Or at least try it.

[-] Ghost33313@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

I was about to find the gayest apparel I could in reaction.

[-] anonimowy@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Why are you giving him ideas?

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Conservatives, you have fucked up, because I didn't even get surprised by this, it really just seemed like something you guys would do these days.

[-] MaxTheMummer@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

"Don we now, our happy apparial!"

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Bro it was right there.

“Don we now, our hay apparel!”

[-] brlemworld@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

"Dom me now, on a homosexual barrel!"

[-] Lumelore 4 points 10 months ago

What's even the point of celebrating if the yuletide isn't gay

[-] clickyello@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

yup I bit it

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Wow, what ❄️ ❄️ snowflakes ❄️ ❄️

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

After the congresswoman actually turned out to be in memory care I don't believe anything anymore. Not even my own name.
