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.”
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!

The onion is a news satire website that posts false stories made to appear believable in every aspect other than the content of the story.
Not The Onion is a play on that, in which real news stories are posted that appear like they could or would be fake news stories posted on the Onion.
News articles on this community have nothing to do with the onion, other than being so insane and ridiculous that, at first or passing glances, it would seem like a story from the Onion, when in reality, it's not the onion.
