Conservatives, you have fucked up, because I didn't even get surprised by this, it really just seemed like something you guys would do these days.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Yes, they should replace them with the word 'homosexual' to be more modern 😉

[–] [email protected] 36 points 10 hours ago

Oof, they got me on that one.

People who thought this was real - don't feel bad, it's a reference to Florida's REAL "Don't Say Gay" law, enacted in 2023, that bans the word from public schools.

yeah... we're cooked.

The Flinstones theme safe?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Absolutely NOT. Fred Flintstone drove a zero-emissions vehicle, which is yabba-dabba-WOKE!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Technically, the power source for his vehicle does have an exhaust port that occasionally puts out methane gas.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 hours ago

That was addressed at the end of the article.

At press time, Governor DeSantis banned reruns of “The Flintstones” after learning the family was having a “gay old time” in every episode.

This onion tastes particularly oniony.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

I had a nice bite myself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

Doh! I got caught out again.

It's not fair, it sounds so plausible!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

Fuck, yeah it got me too

(in fairness i'm tipsy rn)

I think this site also had a really funny article about an alpha male that touched a tampon and ended up in an ER.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

damn, good thing I'm a woman. sending my condolences to the victim and his family

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

Bro had UHC too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

100% something they'd do, which makes it even easier to swallow the onion

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, it is fucking sad to say that I had to double check and make sure this wasn't a not-the-onion story.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Honest question. At what point do people proclaim this? Did you read the article or did you internally respond before checking the source?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago

No. You read the headline, and react. Just the same as any other article. Then you see the community posted, laugh, and reply "ate the onion".

See in the 90s, the whole point of the onion (the actual original paper distributed onion newsletter) was to grab peoples attention and fool them into thinking it's a real headline.

Thats what happened here. I believed it was a legit headline. Thus, I ate the onion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Would sir like fries with that 🍟

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

also fuckin at it (not completely sober)

[–] [email protected] 41 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Thought it was real. Can't blame me though.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, it’s sadly believable. Ron is that much of a culture war stoking prick.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

After the congresswoman actually turned out to be in memory care I don't believe anything anymore. Not even my own name.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 12 hours ago

He signed the bill because every time he hears the word 'gay', he thinks about shoving some D in his mouth. nom nom nom slurp slurp

What's even the point of celebrating if the yuletide isn't gay

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago
