Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
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.”
Comments 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!

I think 70% of the recent posts seem onion-y or would be if it were claiming any other person except a handful of people who regularly say things that I'd have assumed were the Onion pre-Trump.
The Onion has generally been political, with a bias towards US politics, and Not the Onion is for news... so the posts should generally be political news mixed with some lighthearted nonsense news.
Also, one of the less oniony stories is one I upvoted without realizing where it was posted just because it seemed funny and it was one of the non-political news stories.
