What a shit piece of paper am i... oh, it's the onion. Wait, this isn't real?

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago

The Onion used to print physical copies. I loved them so much.

Pleasantly one of the few examples of a buyout actually improving a company.

I think it was more that they unionized when Elon started poaching their talent, no?

by Pretending He Shot in Ear Again

It's sad that The Onion has had to let all their proofreaders go.

It’s headline grammar. It’s deliberate

[-] gramie@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago

That doesn't sound like headline grammar to me. You wouldn't introduce confusion about who is doing the shooting on purpose, I don't think.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Do you have any other examples of it being used this way? "By Pretending Shot In Ear Again" is what I would have expected.
