scariest thing I’ve seen this Halloween omg. Never ever has a headline made me physically gasp.
Cheese and rice. Got me good.
I read the headline and went, huh, sounds about White before I saw the website.
Damn you The Onion…
Got me too. I literally said WTF before I noticed.
dammit Global Tetrahedron you got me good
the onion is getting really good at “getting” me. they had me again with this article!
Nono, that’s reality catching up.
That’s because reality has caught up with their ridiculousness.
Reminds about interview with creator of Masyanya.
“How your script is always so ridiculous and prophetic?”
“I just look at current trends and extrapolate.”
Fuck. They got me too here.
Jesus, ate The Onion again. Right at the edge of believably.
In the 90s, the headlines were absurdist satire, and the point was to laugh at people who could fall for it being a real news publication.
Things like “Woman wins powerball lottery. Buys state of Montana.”
NOW the headlines are absurdist satire, and the world has decided to bite the onion SO HARD that real life headlines are just as absurdist and satire adjacent, that you’re easily forgiven for not knowing the difference between ketchup and catsup.

Basically american version of soviet anecdotes.
Why would you bring that condimental abomination into this friendly discussion?
I call tomatoes god’s perfect food, but they can only be pushed so far until they become an abomination before a loving Jesus.
Honestly, this is more a prediction than satire at this point.
I had to double check the name of the sub to make sure this wasn’t a real law.
Fucking Onion keeps giving them ideas; the GOP might as well start paying them as policy advisors
…yet
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Only about a century old. Let’s go for another 100.
Dammit, those laws allowing virgins to vote!
Basically US can create US LLC and deny to anyone based on anything.
Whaaaat?!.. Oh okay. Nice.
*female voters.
“women” is a noun, not an adjective. Writing “women voters” is just as bad as writing “voting females”
The phrase “women voters” is grammatically correct. It’s a compound noun phrase where “women” serves as an attributive noun modifying “voters.” This construction is common in English (like “student athletes” or “senior citizens”) and is used to specify a subgroup of voters.
I will never understand this logic, it just obviously sounds atrocious!
You wouldn’t say “man voters”, so why do we say “women voters”?
It makes it sound like women aren’t the actors, rather the subjects, like people are voting for who should win Miss America or something…You would say Men Voters. But yes, it does sound terrible. What can I say other than the English language is just full of all kinds of Fuckery.
women or men fuckery?
