That is because we live in a world where that is completely viable.

It’s not the onion though.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some people just use onion now as shorthand for satire, especially since people have taken to using the phrase “I ate the onion”.

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Gross. Id never do that, at most for the Onion spin-offs like clickhole.

The Onion is like Google, you don’t google things on Bing.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

You can Google my Bing anytime you’d like

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

But do you photoshop things with GIMP?

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

I do not, but I do tuna fish.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

I definitely google things with bing.

this community is called c/theonion not c/satirenewssitesthatmustbeindiviuallynamed

I didn’t say nor did I mean it wasn’t appropriate to post here.

The OP said “I forgot it was onion” when it wasn’t.

Welp, they got me good today. This game of 'don't eat the onion' gets harder all the time.
