[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year 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.

also fuckin at it (not completely sober)

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Would sir like fries with that 🍟

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

yeah... we're cooked.

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 1 year ago

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

[-] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 year ago

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

[-] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 year ago

The Flinstones theme safe?

[-] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 49 points 1 year ago

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

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year 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.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago

Oh, wait, that's The Onion.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] BigBenis@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Gay People Respond by Signing Bill to Remove Ron DeSantis

[-] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Zier@fedia.io 12 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] anonimowy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Why are you giving him ideas?

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year 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.

[-] MaxTheMummer@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"Don we now, our happy apparial!"

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Bro it was right there.

“Don we now, our hay apparel!”

[-] brlemworld@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

"Dom me now, on a homosexual barrel!"

[-] Lumelore@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] clickyello@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The Flintstones have entered the chat.

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] authorinthedark@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
