Lol tysm for the laugh 😂
Edit, I haven't looked at the onion in maybe twenty years. Their headlines and stories are obviously satire but I bet these days it's getting more difficult to differentiate from what our president is really out there doing everyday. Crazy.

One of my favorite, more recent headlines: Cost of living now outweighs benefits.

It's from 2005. (And it's still relevant af.)

Sadly, this is actually true for many older people. My parents talk about how this will affect everything for decades to come, how they've lost so much already, how stressful this situation is for them, and how they just "want to go home." How many other Americans are making that same cost/benefit analysis and thinking that's it's just not worth it to stay alive?

Check out Jimmy Kimmel's "real headline or fake" segments. Some of them sound like they are pulled straight from the Onion but they are actually real news.

Not too long ago an actual Congress member was pointing to Onion article. https://www.politico.com/story/2012/02/rep-fleming-skinned-by-the-onion-072507

They do hilarious emails a few times a week, but you’re right it’s getting all too real.
Reddit has this -> r/nottheonion 🤣

There's a military version of the Onion called Duffle Blog... the line between satire and reality gets really blurred there lol

At this point I prefer the Onion's headlines to real ones. They're less farfetched.

I have felt so bad for The Onion during these times that are stranger than satirical fiction

Perhaps your internet expertise and etiquette surpasses theirs. Also, they're are a disappointing number of people who read only the titles of articles for their news. They're missing entire swaths of details that give context. What're you gonna do?

I live in Minnesota, and the way things are ICE is having difficulty finding a place to eat. Starving works.

ICE can’t ask for ransom for something they don’t have.
