    The Onion has lost all credibility since a couple of weeks.

    EDIT: Geez you people don’t like jokes… I’m saying this because reality got so stupid lately that even The Onion can’t go far enough. And it’s the very nature of satire not to be credible. That’s what the joke was all about, it’s… The Onion lol. Also fuck you all if you’re trigerred by this.

        Naaah, the joke is actually really good. The fact that you and a bunch of other can’t detect sarcasm without it being explicitly labeled is not my problem in the end, but I have an idea of the link between all of you. My only mistake was trying to explain it to idiots. And yeah people triggered by this are losers : “tHe OnIOn nEws dOesN’t hAve to be cRedible”, duh.

        Also what the fuck are you doing here? Did I expose you previously for being a pos and you’re still mad about it?? That would make you the ultimate loser in this thread lol.

          Nah, you’re just a bad comedian, and like all bad comedians, get super butthurt when they get told their joke sucked. Would have been moderately funny if you’d actually used the correct satirical publication.

          My only mistake was trying to explain it to idiots.

          No, your mistake was the bad joke, not being able to take criticism, and raging at people who talk about your lame joke. But feel free to respond for the last word, I won’t read it.

          Feel free to assume I’ve interacted with you before, I’m sure that helps lol.

          I call it humor.

          Congrats, you’ve just experienced your first time “bombing” it’s something every aspiring comedian experiences. Write better jokes.

                I’m just jocking lol. There’s many reason to be mad right now, a bad joke (there I’m admitting it) isn’t a good one.

                  My dude… You told a bad joke, you got downvoted for it, and started whining about how nobody understood your joke. Nobody seems mad except you.

                    I take it back, it was a good joke actually. BTW you’re the one who got all triggered over this.

      Satire sites don’t lose by losing credibility … they lose by gaining credibility

      This is either an amazing joke, or a really stupid statement.

          I can’t speak for others, but I have autism and interpret things literally unless there are obvious signs of a joke. I’m one of the people that benefit from textual tone indicators.

            Fair enough. It’s the nature of satire not to be credible, and that’s what the joke was all about.

      Just wanted to say that I understood your joke immediately and it gave me a good laugh. Irony in text is tricky. These are triggering times so I can see how people got confused…
