Not The Onion

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:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Do you want health care? All you need to do is make it through this obstacle course.

That is kind of the gist of basic training though... And the military has free healthcare...

Until Republicans decide that not all healthcare is equal.

Yeah, I fully expect them to enshittify the military so they can hire whatever Black Water is calling themselves these days instead.

Flavortown does not need foreign aid.

And yet of those listed this is a close to not a bad idea they got.

Flavortown being the least bad is still funny though.
