    I’ve noticed a distinct sharpening of the satire at The Onion since it changed hands.

        It got bought by a group of super fans who specifically formed a company just to buy it and return it to its former glory. They even plan to bring back ONN!

        Edit: the company the super fans formed is called Global Tetrahedron Corp, which long-time The Onion fans will recognize as the (now formerly) fictional global megacorp featured in countless past articles.

    In my opinion, the funniest thing about the phrasing of the headline:

    It would just straight up make it illegal to be a woman of color in Florida, which might be the republican goal irl

      It’s technically possible for a woman of color to have white children, due to Punnett square shenanigans. Not likely, but it has happened.

      But there’s also the issue of the timeline. Age of consent in Florida is 18, so (assuming no other laws are to be broken) this would require even white women to have an average of six kids in four years. Which is…also improbable.

        Indeed, I know someone who looks like she’s a mix of black and white. Her parents look black and her brother looks white.

    Jesus, I almost ate that onion. For a moment, the headline shocked me, but wasn’t that unbelievable… and that, in and of itself, is terrifying

    As I’m sure pudding fingers will be inspired to make this into an actual law, and as I’m sure he doesn’t know what “ex post facto” means, I look forward to seeing this applied to my over-22-year-old childless sister.

    Lab grown meat is banned but eating babies is now legal. Florida is crazy.
