You know how if you're reading a headline from the onion and you mistake it for real you've "eaten the onion?"

Is there a name for the reverse phenomenon? Where a real headline reflecting actual reality is so ridiculous that you reject it out of hand as satire only to realize it was genuine? Regurgitating the onion? What's the name for this?

!nottheonion@lemmy.world

Inspired by the analogous subreddit.

That's it, were only going to use comic Sans serif from now on!

All future documents must be in Fraktur.

[–] BurnoutDV@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

its not even funny because the nazis actually abolished Fraktur for being jewish or something..without googling it..yeah, probably something about "being jewish" that used to be their go-to, cant be wrong

Hitler personally disliked Fraktur and gave a speech against it in 1934. It continued to be used as ‘the true German script’ until 1941, when the party did a 180 and banned it under the pretext that it wasn't Fraktur, but Schwabacher, a similar blackletter script, which they called ‘Jewish letters’.

Moreover, it was banned so hard that cursive scripts Kurrent and Sütterlin were forbidden as well. As a result, people educated after 1941 often couldn't read handwritten letters and notes of their ancestors.

I hope this gets incorporated in a College Humor font wars sketch...

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

He wanted to make it Times Neo Nazi but was informed that didn't exist

(please no one check or inform me if that's actually a thing or even close to real)

Everybody knows that this is yet another distraction, but how fragile are they ready to look like. They feel threatened by a text font and some numbers these days.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

This is one of the dumbest distractions I've ever witnessed. I suppose the purposely forcing an acknowledged shitty font that was pushed out for a reason is on brand for such a shitty administration.

What a weird flex

[–] devedeset@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.

This is like removing the requirement of having curb ramps on new sidewalks because it makes it possible for people in wheelchairs to navigate

I was expecting Comic Sans.

[–] shininghero@pawb.social 7 points 1 week ago

Uh-huh. Sure.
I'll get right on that, as soon as you can explain exactly how the singular genitive declension of the Latin word Dēus has literally any bearing whatsoever on office policies.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's it. I'm going to ban cupboards in my house for being to DEI too!

Makes about as much sense to me as banning a "DEI font"

I hope they make papyrus the official font

Hope someone throws acid in his face and impairs his vision. That would be golden.

legitimately can't imagine being this much of an obedient and brainless little bitch

Wait till he finds out about comic sans
