Unironically I read union headlines now and have a moment of panic/confusion because I can't tell an onion article at a glance. 10 years ago the onion was just a moment of bemusement, now I have to check the source. Same with the Beaverton that I see on Lemmy occasionally.

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.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content 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 could start writing about good things happening and then they'd be more Onion.
"Trump signs executive order to provide subsidizing school lunches for underprivileged elementary schools"
Something laughably unrealistic like that.
Then it will make you cry, like an onion should.
Trump admits to not being that great, promises to try to be a better person in future
We need c/notnottheonion
So many layers to that name.
Just like an onion.
And cakes
Onion cake
And hens.
c/reallynottheonioniswearitsnottheonion
It's like the world leveled up so now The Onion has to level up too.
All The Onion has to do is write headlines and articles that would have been real a decade or two ago.
more like predictions news.
Yes. We have genuine headlines that are far more bizarre than anything the onion could come out with.
Yes.
