The Onion should pivot to actual news, since traditional media has embraced lies and absurdity.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Since people are saying that reality is becoming ridiculous, there should be a newspaper that says believable fake things like "people are treating climate change seriously" or "everyone is wearing masks and quarantining after covid-19 pandemic"
"Republicans voters appalled lawmakers wants to hurt immigrants more than help American families"
"Elon Musk announces he is joining Bill Gates and many other billionaires in pledging to give away 90% of their wealth in their lifetimes"
"McDonald's joins a growing movement among companies to prioritize employee happiness and wellness as a means to increase productivity"
"Citizens in both Russia and the United States are calling Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump's upcoming golf fundraiser World War III"
I feel like a news site from an alternative timeline where people aren't dicks to each other would be amazing!
We really do live in the shittiest timeline if “normal” news seems so fake now
