it's no coincidence that the people ITT complaining about the onion being "dumbed down" are the same kind that get triggered whenever they get called out on their bigotry

No one said it was dumbed down retard, I said it stopped being funny

I dunno it's kinda funny when the dumb and/or old repost an Onion article or serious post about it when they can't recognize satire.

I think the Onion and the AVclub got rid of any kind of regular staff and now only employ freelancers who get paid in Starbucks gift cards.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
I wish they would shut down completely. Their satire keeps coming literally true and it's scary as gently caress. The way its going, if the onion posted a modest proposal right now, people would be literally eating babies by the end of the week.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
