      Hardtimes, they are a similar site and easily confused with the Onion, but let’s give proper credit to the publication.

          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.

          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.

            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:-).
