TheOnion should buy Infowars.com and start posting real news.

They should have a section "not the onion"

While I like this I fear it’s too costly. Good journalism is pricey. And good comedy is pricey. I don’t know how well those two fields overlap. But I know I’ve seen good combos with Jon Stewart and Jon Oliver. So it’s for sure a possibility. I’d pay the onion for real news tbh.

They really could start publishing real news stories and no one would know the difference

They kinda did, but it was an accident.

They could call it the nonion

There should be a game that lets people guess if a news story is an Onion article or not.

If they did, and no one could tell the difference.

  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
