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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

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

And that’s basically it!

Fine. How do I get in on this

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Generate a hot, AI, blonde, white, large breasted woman

Make social media accounts and generate a bunch more pics, preferably of her wearing bikinis or other revealing clothing

Make posts pretending to be this AI girl. Make them controversial. Enough to outrage people, but not so much people can tell its a grift. This is the real secret imo

Farm engagement from outraged people commenting so it rises in the algorithm and gets shown to right wingers. Who will see the negative comments and instinctively comment defending your views. Boosting engagement even more.

Next make up some story about needing money for medical bills or becoming a hot lady doctor or something like that and set up a gofundme.

Wait for braindead conservatives to throw their money at you

If you want something a bit more tricky but longer term, set up an OnlyFans too. Otherwise I think that's all the steps.

Not Onlyfans. They’re more likely to ban AI generated content. There are plenty of others though that don’t.

Key is to create a TruthSocial account, it seems

Just do what their grifters do but within the boundaries of your own morals.

I feel that to be a grifter (a good one, anyway (are there good ones?)) you have to already have shaky and/or loose morals.

Eh, my morals are fine with fucking over anyone still MAGA at this point
