Fuck, yeah it got me too

(in fairness i'm tipsy rn)

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

I think this site also had a really funny article about an alpha male that touched a tampon and ended up in an ER.

[-] kittehx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah, it is fucking sad to say that I had to double check and make sure this wasn't a not-the-onion story.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Honest question. At what point do people proclaim this? Did you read the article or did you internally respond before checking the source?

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

No. You read the headline, and react. Just the same as any other article. Then you see the community posted, laugh, and reply "ate the onion".

See in the 90s, the whole point of the onion (the actual original paper distributed onion newsletter) was to grab peoples attention and fool them into thinking it's a real headline.

Thats what happened here. I believed it was a legit headline. Thus, I ate the onion.

[-] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

also fuckin at it (not completely sober)

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Would sir like fries with that 🍟

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 51 points 2 months ago

People who thought this was real - don't feel bad, it's a reference to Florida's REAL "Don't Say Gay" law, enacted in 2023, that bans the word from public schools.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

yeah... we're cooked.

[-] brlemworld@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

It's not as common now but I've met somebody who's first name is Gay.

Who's that guy over there? Well that's Homosexual Smith; the heterosexual.

Oof, they got me on that one.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 45 points 2 months ago

Thought it was real. Can't blame me though.

[-] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 18 points 2 months ago

Yeah, it’s sadly believable. Ron is that much of a culture war stoking prick.

[-] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 months ago

The Flinstones theme safe?

[-] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 49 points 2 months ago

Absolutely NOT. Fred Flintstone drove a zero-emissions vehicle, which is yabba-dabba-WOKE!

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Technically, the power source for his vehicle does have an exhaust port that occasionally puts out methane gas.

[-] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Alternative fuel vehicle, barefoot, and earthen home? Woke af

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

That was addressed at the end of the article.

At press time, Governor DeSantis banned reruns of “The Flintstones” after learning the family was having a “gay old time” in every episode.

[-] Earflap@reddthat.com 25 points 2 months ago

This onion tastes particularly oniony.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I had a nice bite myself.

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Doh! I got caught out again.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 months ago

Oh, wait, that's The Onion.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

the hard times, but yeah, I almost bought it too.

[-] BigBenis@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Lol I didn't notice this was the Onion at first and genuinely thought this was real.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Yep. I bit it hard. Honestly, I'm mote surprised it isn't real at this point. It's totally something he'd do.

[-] Squorlple@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Gay People Respond by Signing Bill to Remove Ron DeSantis

[-] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago

Yes, they should replace them with the word 'homosexual' to be more modern 😉

[-] Zier@fedia.io 12 points 2 months ago

He signed the bill because every time he hears the word 'gay', he thinks about shoving some D in his mouth. nom nom nom slurp slurp

[-] Fritzer@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago

Ok, I didn't read the Community title and thought it was real. Because I trust him to do something like this. Or at least try it.

[-] Ghost33313@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

I was about to find the gayest apparel I could in reaction.

[-] anonimowy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Why are you giving him ideas?

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Conservatives, you have fucked up, because I didn't even get surprised by this, it really just seemed like something you guys would do these days.

"Don we now, our happy apparial!"

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Bro it was right there.

“Don we now, our hay apparel!”

[-] brlemworld@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

"Dom me now, on a homosexual barrel!"

[-] Lumelore@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

What's even the point of celebrating if the yuletide isn't gay

[-] clickyello@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

yup I bit it

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The Flintstones have entered the chat.

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

How many Christmas songs are there that contain the word "gay"? I can't think of any?

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Now we don our gay apparel, la la la la la

[-] authorinthedark@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago
