The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...

  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Alright guys, I think it might be time to close up this community, it won't be getting better than this.

I read the "not the onion" name before clicking but it wasn't until I reached the end of the article and saw the author's name that it finally clicked that this was in fact not the onion.

While reading the thing it all seemed "weird this doesn't feel like an onion article even though the content is so much onion" and "are those references to other phallic stuff all from past onion articles too?"

those of you not clicking the article to read the main caption are missing out. Allow me:

A penis-shaped iceberg floated by the town of Dildo, Canada, which isn't too far from the city of Spread Eagle and the town of Placentia. (Image credit: Ken Pretty)

because Newfoundland has the best place names in the world. So spend A Night In Dildo if you think you've got the time
