The Rules
Posts must be:

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Man the onion has always had some bad boomery takes. They get some good jabs in time to time but they are enlightened centrist epitomized.

It's okay to laugh at oneself y'know
Now that I think about it, you're right. I remember when The Onion movie came out, and they had that whole "cock puncher" joke... I guess it was trying Idiocracy's type of comedy, but it felt a bit too like it was just doing the thing it was complaining about.
Man oh man did that film overplay the cockpuncher joke
