Dammit, The Onion got me again. These headlines lately are too believable.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Did it smell good? Might need to ban onions too.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

The onion should really start hiring like crazy. They're about to start getting so much material that their staff will be totally overwhelmed.

Well it would be bad if we began eating soap. Right?

[–] pythonoob@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Better than bleach... Right?

I’m no scientist, but I think so.
