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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Make the yueltide gay

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh, wait, that's The Onion.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

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

After the congresswoman actually turned out to be in memory care I don't believe anything anymore. Not even my own name.

"Don we now, our happy apparial!"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Bro it was right there.

“Don we now, our hay apparel!”

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Why are you giving him ideas?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 weeks ago

Oof, they got me on that one.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

yeah... we're cooked.

This onion tastes particularly oniony.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

I had a nice bite myself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Doh! I got caught out again.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The Flinstones theme safe?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks 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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Wow, what ❄️ ❄️ snowflakes ❄️ ❄️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

yup I bit it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Gay People Respond by Signing Bill to Remove Ron DeSantis

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

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

Would sir like fries with that 🍟

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

also fuckin at it (not completely sober)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 2 weeks ago

It's not fair, it sounds so plausible!

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Fuck, yeah it got me too

(in fairness i'm tipsy rn)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

100% something they'd do, which makes it even easier to swallow the onion

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

damn, good thing I'm a woman. sending my condolences to the victim and his family

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Bro had UHC too
