Not The Onion

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!
Can't wait for the Onion article covering this news!
But I'm guessing we will have to.
In solidarity.
The guild is seeking contracts that include staffer protections in the event of the sale of the company, improved severance offerings, and basic protections from AI.
In other words they've noticed that a bunch of greedy venture capitalists bought them and aren't gonna let 'em just liquidate/automate their jobs for a quick buck.
They're also probably feeling a bit paranoid after watching Hard-Drive have the same thing happen.
Damn, I didn't know Hard-Drive died. Anyone know good alternatives?
Well, have you considered switching to solid state?
... I'll show myself out.
Is this the onion? Or not the onion? Or not not the onion?
On r/nottheonion this would be removed as "not oniony".
(wormhole opens up)
Wait. Is it a joke or… I feel trapped into the Opposite Day loop here.
Wait, what? $44 milion in revenue? Thats peanuts for company this size, isn't it?
I used to love The Onion so much. Then the state of affairs got so bad that The crap coming out of the government was worse than the stuff they made up. I get PTSD tics now wearing that someone in the government is going to take notes.
Onion also got bought out a couple times. The new videos are low effort crap; nothing like the superb clips from 10-15 years ago, which is probably the best satire ever created.
I'm honestly kind of shocked they survived the Trump administration. Could you imagine trying to outbid the government for crazy during those years?
Literally the Onion
Their picket signs are going to be next level
They should negotiate bonuses for writers who predict the future.
They turned boomer and make jokes about wokeness now, so who cares.
I haven't seen that... linky?
it's not really true, they just want to pretend to hate everything
Well someone has to make fun of the wokeness. Otherwise we won't evolve as a species.
Man the onion has always had some bad boomery takes. They get some good jabs in time to time but they are enlightened centrist epitomized.

Now that I think about it, you're right. I remember when The Onion movie came out, and they had that whole "cock puncher" joke... I guess it was trying Idiocracy's type of comedy, but it felt a bit too like it was just doing the thing it was complaining about.
Oh no! Anyway
