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!

i wonder why nobody signed the farewell card for the type of ass to sue for not getting a farewell card.

What's the opposite of eating the onion? I read your comment and scoffed, wondering who could actually believe this. The I saw the "Not" in the comm name.

I vote for this to become official.

I'm leaning towards either, "Fabricating The Onion," or "Puking The Onion." I think the first is a more accurate assessment of the situation though.

Edit: both my suggestions aren't any good next to "Picking/Plucking The Onion."

This is better than both of my suggestions. The only refinement I can suggest is,

"Plucking The Onion."

Pickling the onion

Presuming the onion

When it is in fact, an orange 😌

That's not bad, but I'm not sure it beats the other suggestion of, "Plucking the Onion."

Edit: I misremembered, they actually said "Picking the Onion."
