Ohio senator and vice presidential hopeful J.D. Vance is enjoying a high favorability rating from men who misconstrue the routine fulfillment of job duties by bartenders for flirting.

Yeah, Anyone that follows this community would probably recognize my username because I post a lot of these articles… and the sidebar makes it clear this is a community for all sorts of satire sites. But I think it would’ve been better named “satire” rather than “the onion”
Every time I post something here there’s someone in the comments that’s confused about the fact that this sub welcomes content from multiple satire sites and not just The Onion.
There is also The Onion and other satire w/ [email protected]. You could post both here and there - to link them make sure to use the repost feature, in the Lemmy web UI it looks like a double square to the right of the favorite/star icon - and thereby help grow that community on another instance.
Not only would that help the overall goal of not having all posts of one type be in a single location on the Fediverse, but I wonder if those words appearing (of “and other satire w/ layers”) may help with understanding for the post in this community as well. Probably not though, bc the only people who tend to read the sidebar are those who actually make posts, while those who comment often do not.:-)
I feel like we both mentioned facts there - hopefully we added something to the conversation, that there’s some nuance wherein it both is but also is not The Onion, depending on which “it” we’re talking about:-).
Once again The Onion not being satire.

Tbf, this community is called “The Onion”:-P
The Onion is to satire sites what Nintendo was to consoles for parents and grandparents of the 80s/90s.

I totally understand the reason why there is confusion, and almost didn’t reply because it felt nitpicky. Completely fair.
