    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.

    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.

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

          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.

            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.

    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)

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

        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

            I’m using Voyager iOS, but checked this out from a browser.

            Looks like this method:

            >! spoiler !<
            

            doesn’t work on our (yours & my) instance, nor Midwest Social:

            Interesting that Join-Lemmy.org advocates for the format I previously showed in a code block:

            yet your client supports the “greater than exclamation point” method. It makes me wonder whether your client should support it.

            (Lots of folks like that method though per Lemmy GitHub!)

            Which client you using? I’ll share this comment with them.

              That was the Reddit spoiler tag, so I’m guessing they’re using one of the ex-reddit clients that pivoted to Lemmy during the great migration.

              Either Sync, Boost, Eternity, or… the other one I couldn’t remember the name of.

      No, but you sound like you might be. A Trump supporter blatantly incapable of absorbing the information right in front of him. Typical.
