Thankfully Spike McFang still exists because the bad guys were anthropomorphic garlic cloves and not onions.

I ate onions (shallots) twice today. Lunch and dinner. I'm thankful I don't live in the accursed nonion world.

just think what engineers might come up with if they didnt have to spend so much time designing onion peeling machines. maybe instead they would finally invent the laundry folding robot i have always wanted?

For more idioms, I guess there's a somewhat archaic English expression "to know one's onions," which means to be knowledgeable about something, and it was apparently borrowed to make the French c'est mes oignons

This in turn also took on the meaning "it's my business," so there are derivative phrases like c'est pas tes oignons, "it is not your onions" i.e. "it's none of your business"

Also I'm seeing some references saying that in the French usage "onions" was a euphemism for rear end so if someone is all up in your business you basically tell them it's not their rear end

So anyway in a world without onions I imagine that none of that would be a thing

In a world without onions, would France be a bigger player on the world stage, undistracted by delicious onions? Or a just a bit player, unable to forge a national identity without the strength of the onion behind them?

Nope!! Onions are good except for the one shallot I know who talks a lot about second amendment rights, hes such a buzzkill

Occasionally! But I mostly curse the little buggers living inside of me -- I'm their home the least they can do is not make a mess of it!!!!!

I think Asimov wrote a short story about such a world in some sci-fi magazine, and at the end he writes a footnote that the story was initially rejected because it turns out onions really don't exist, and it's like this meta twilight-zone kinda thing.

Dr. Honked: eat it you slaaaaaaag

this thread has made it very difficult for me to imagine a world without onions, because when i start trying to imagine a world without onions, i suddenly have the urge to eat onions, so then i eat some onions, and the ability to imagine a world without onions slips further from my grasp

Technically every time you eat onions you bring us one step closer to a world without onions becoming a reality
