The Onion and its six-member editorial board do not listen to outsiders. Nor do we listen to data, facts, polls, the U.S. government, or the widely panned Geneva Conventions.

$50 that Trump rages about this in the next 24 hours thinking Biden is still running.

Suckers bet, I’m not taking it.

I love it.

Finally someone said it. I'm tired of the country of Geneva enforcing its conventions on me and how I approach wars.

/c/NCD leaking

Stop telling me what color shapes I can and cannot use, Geneva!

Calm down Canada.

Joe Biden may be young by Washington standards

They really aren't pulling their punches!

I guess none of you noticed the editorial board has a signature from Ted Kaczynski, aka Unabomber.

I have never actually read The Onion, I just like seeing their headlines.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

There's some fun articles. Although I think they frequently drag on a little too long for a gag given my preference for not reading more than a few paragraphs at a time.

I need to wake up. I went to sleep drunk, I woke up feeling still drunk.

I read your username as "DopeSalad"

Thats not even CLOSE!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Don’t worry. It’s nothing serious anyways. There is a band named Hopesfall. I thought it was dumb so I came up with that.

Sure. Just a joke.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

pretty incredible that they managed to get his signature even though he’s dead

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

That's only of you listen to data. Stop listening to data.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

upset at myself for taking a whole 10 seconds to get the joke

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

It took me like 15 😭

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 weeks ago

I'm a Republican who Does Her Own Research and I TOLD you Libtards that Biden was still in the Race! The whole Kamala thing was a SHAM! HOW can they Endorse Biden if he isn't running STUPIDS!

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lest readers doubt the value of our endorsement, we ask them to remember 2016, when voter complacency almost put Hillary Clinton in the White House before The Onion stepped in. 

We really dodged a bullet on that one! (/j)

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

The Onion wanted to play on hard mode. How do you write satire when that shit head was in the White House?

You might know him for his academic papers.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 weeks ago

Among other works

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

you joke but this is how he's brightly discussed in some circles lol I have seen some concerning publications that refer to him as uncle Ted and other light-hearted names in a similar context

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Seems like it's up there with the killdozer Fandom. Casual terrorism... Or living the American dream?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

And his cake having tendancies

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Yeah, the mathematician. What about him?

This is a great joke! It took me a second even after I saw the source. Well done!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think Internet Explorer is in for him too.

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

Naw, they're rooting for Eisenhower.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago
