“Truth is stranger than fiction” is one of those sayings that seems pretty weird until you’ve lived long enough to see some examples in the flesh. If you are familiar with “the Onion,” you’ll know that there is already a lot of good satire out there. But what about times when real events were just more unhinged?
This Instagram account shares hilarious examples of headlines that are so bizarre that they almost look like something out of “the Onion.” So get comfortable as you scroll through, prepare to do a few double takes, upvote your favorites and add your own thoughts below.

Load More Replies...As a German, the videos of the speeches of Trump and his club are awfully familiar. We saw them at school, in history lessons covering the 1930s, and every around this time of the year there are tons of documentaries on TV. The likenesses to the speech and actions are hauntig. Other Europeans realize it a bit less, but do recognize the similarities. Unfortunately the vast majority of the US citizens and other people living there have no clue. Putin, as multi-lingual highly trained spy, with work experience in other countries, does see see it, too, and knows exactly which buttons to push.
A lot of us see it. And a lot of us are at a loss as to what to do about it. Many people are fighting, but not enough. And so many things are happening so fast that it is hard not to feel helpless. I am not saying that as an excuse; i think I am saying that as a request for guidance
Load More Replies...On Monday, DOGE put the entire Institute of Library and Museum Services on leave. This is going to wreck various libraries and museums around the country, many of which rely on funding via the ILMS. Along with cuts to education, veterans affairs... it's almost as if they're trying to destroy the country....
Not 'almost'. This is planned and aimed at education and science. Because people who know nothing have to believe everything.

I read a story written by a woman whose husband died of a fentynal o******e. She said policing the borders does nothing. China sends the ingredients for the d**g to the U.S.and most of the supply gets manufactured well within the U.S. borders.
People were cooking up m**h in bathtubs for generations. This is no surprise to anyone. The d**g scare (war on d***s that was supposed to be over) is just another excuse for poor immigration policy.
Load More Replies...The US may get its d***s from Mexico, but the US supplies Mexican Cartels with most of their weapons and it's the US's voracious appetite for d***s that fuels the cartels and their violent ways. Seems like the US is not the only victim here
Let's find out if she will run against Trump when he tries for his third term. Looks like an upgrade to me.
The US is a misogynistic country. Trump vs Clinton, a woman, won by a hair. Trump vs Biden, a man, lost by 8.1 million votes. Trump vs Harris, a woman, won by 2.5 million votes. The pattern is clear.

If you happen to be unaware, the Onion is an American satirical digital media company and newspaper organization that publishes “articles” on international, national, and local news. The company is currently based in Chicago, but originated as a weekly print publication on August 29, 1988, in Madison, Wisconsin.
The Onion began publishing online in early 1996, which is what it is best known for. You can actually still find physical print copies of the Onion out there. In 2007, they began publishing satirical news audio and video online as the Onion News Network. The print edition ceased in 2013, coinciding with the establishment of Onion Labs, an advertising agency.
Thank you for this insightful and useful comment

Speaking at the National Conservatism Conference in 2021, Yenor detailed what he sees as the “evils” of feminism, labeled “independent women” as “medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome” and decried colleges and universities as "the citadels of our gynecocracy” — a form of government run by women. https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/desantis-appointee-scott-yenor-says-women-should-become-mothers/3511328/.

Load More Replies...Despite its satirical nature, The Onion's articles are sometimes mistaken for real news, leading to confusion among people who didn’t look at the source of the “article.” This confusion often arises because the articles mimic the tone and format of traditional news outlets, making it challenging for some individuals to discern satire from reality.

My heart is absolutely broken, especially after yesterday's article on BP about how they fired a woman who is a woman after she reported a complaint from some d*****s man who didn't find her womanly enough when he saw her go into the women's room. F**k you, WalMart, and the obscene creature you rode in on.
Wow, just read that. So far since 2017 2 cis woman were killed because someone thought they were trans. Like THAT made it okay.🤦
Load More Replies...of COURSE we're stressed. No one, and I mean no one right down to the Walton family, shops at Wal-Mart because we WANT to. We're there because it's the only place we can afford. So, yeah, having to spend 90% of your food budget at the only store in town you can tends to be a strossor.
What type of stressed behaviour are we talking? Is this a new thing? Because I've literally seen in Walmart's, criminal take downs, men on d***s masturbating, homeless men peeing on the floor, and just recently someone in my town died in a Walmart oven. Those type of stressed behaviours, or do you mean "shoplifting"?
Thank goodness the nearest Wal*mart to me is 14 mi and a toll bridge away from me.
A******s! Typical American capitalist BS -- companies are never held accountable.

Luigi is in custody. They think he's the only one ballsy enough to do that.
Load More Replies...The Onion's ability to craft headlines that closely resemble genuine news stories contributes to this phenomenon. In some instances, the satirical headlines have even prefigured real events, further blurring the line between satire and reality. After all, it’s hard to argue against the idea that some current events aren’t just as bizarre and absurd as something you’d see on the aforementioned page.

The Onion's realistic satirical style and its ability to closely mimic traditional news reporting can lead some readers to mistake its fictional articles for actual news, highlighting the importance of media literacy in distinguishing between satire and legitimate journalism. While it wasn’t exactly the page’s intention, it’s probably a good lesson for readers in 2025 to pay attention to sources and not just be tricked by tone.
Let's see: no education, hoods so that no one can see them if they are outside, having to be escorted by a male relative to go anywhere. Now, no windows. Of course, the men who look in those windows aren't punished. With all that material they're using to shroud the women, no one's heard of curtains?

Load More Replies...You know, if the men weren't such ugly, camel sh@gging mongrels, they wouldn't have to hide their much better looking half's from the rest of the world and their wirey bearded cuntry men.
As a man, I reckon it's because a lot of men are scared of women, they know that many women are stronger and more intelligent than the men would like and they feel threatened. They know that women have to exist for the human race to continue, so they treat them like breeding stock. A lot of scared little boys in the school playground ganging up to bully anything they don't understand.

Yup. If I could still get pregnant, I would definitely have moved out of Texas by now.

She was arrested for improper disposal of a fetus. In Georgia, even a one week old fetus that might inadvertently drop into a toilet or on a pad, is considered a body and subject to all bodily burial laws.
Implantation takes place between 6 and 12 days after conception. At 1 week you are not pregnant at all and on the unlikely chance that you are, you would NOT be aware of it, nor would you test positive on a pregnancy test. That is because there are not enough pregnancy hormones to support growth of a fetus. There are no hormones because it is not yet a fetus. It is a bunch of cells that are starting to multiply. If those cells do not implant on the uterus wall all you are going to be burying is blood and cells. And then, we bleed for 3-7 days. Are we supposed to hold a burial for every tampon and menstrual pad we use over those days? Because no one can know at what point those cells come out.

Load More Replies...I worked with a school district in the Southern US who allowed a boy to pass through school due to his ability to play football. He was unhappy that he couldn't get into college because he couldn't pass the most basic exams and won a lawsuit. It was heartbreaking.
I feel like that story is a perfect summary of where America as a whole is right now.
Load More Replies...So, for all wondering how's that possible, I read the reports & here is the TL;DR for you: Alyssa was born in Puerto Rico and her first language was Spanish, she went to school already living in the USA (moved when 5yo). From the start she exhibited symptoms of learning disability that were ignored by school. Mother does not speak English and was often mislead by school officials as to what's done for her daughter. It was only in second/sophomore year of highschool that she finally received a "education teacher & case manager" to address her learning difficulty, but that person was reportedly bullying and harassing Alyssa in front of others and consequently was dismissed. In 11th grade Alyssa starts to advocate for herself and towards the end of highschool finally receives proper testing for learning disability. Until now she survived by help of peers and text-to-speech apps, because her own skills of reading and writing halted at first grade level. She's suing basically for neglect.
Because Trump is dismantling the Department of Education, more children like her will be falling through the cracks. It's appalling.
Load More Replies...Is she of such low intelligence that she didn't notice these problems? If so, fair enough.
That was my thought, but somehow, even though she can’t read or write she got in the University of Connecticut. She’s clever enough to have recorded lessons, then memorized them, and passed written tests. There are some very clever people who just can’t learn to read.
Load More Replies...This is absolutely insane. What were the teachers doing? But also she had to have done so much work to get this far, her memory must be amazing.

Load More Replies...In 2000, while living in Austin, TX, I met many, many "college" students that were just f*****g dumb. They couldn't spell and their handwriting was that of kindergartners, no exaggeration. I'll never forget this note a wealthy college gal left for me stating not to park in a certain area so my truck "won't get toed". She never attended classes, drove a $30,000- SUV and lived in a condo bought and paid for by the parents. Currently in San Marcos, it is a very common and well-known fact at how completely incompetent and stupid the college kids are here. They run the town and it shows in the poorly operated businesses. It's all over people. We don't have a prayer.
Remember, Republican politicians in Texas have been in charge of the Texas curriculum for the last 29 years. When I took Texas history they were saying that Texas still had the right to secede.🤦

Fox Entertainment's Jesse Watters sends message to Zelensky: “We run the world. This is America's world. He's our proxy. This world — this ends when we say it ends. It doesn't end when Zelensky — if he wants to go it alone, go it alone. I'm glad we helped him. Russia invaded, we got his back. At first it was the right thing to do. But now it's not. Now the war's over and he doesn't recognize it's over, and reality's going to eat this guy alive if he doesn't recognize this.” --- ****** This is the kind of sh!t maga is listening to. I wish I could sue Fox for brainwashing so many people.
Faux"News" at it again. Also, it's important to remember that when they were sued they famously said that they are for entertainment and not news.
Ummm... They are falsely outraged about Cursive, but somehow they are okay with Republican led Florida wanting to remove Algebra and English from graduation exams? And, a DeSantis appointee saying that women should just have babies, instead of pursuing higher education degrees? Bunch of CWOHS Muck Fuppets.

Let's see who is targeted next in some way, shape, or form by the government for trying to give some people the same chances that others were born with by sheer luck. So many people think that by levelling the playing field they are taking away others' "rights" to continue allowing privilege to continue.
The US government did send some letters to french companies recently pushing them to roll back their programms or having to explain in detail why they won't do so.

If someone who has been marginalized has access to the same opportunity as you, and beats you to that opportunity because they are more qualified....Instead of taking it as a lesson, you cannot admit or address your own shortcomings, so like a petulant child you insist the rules of the game be changed into something you think favors you.

Load More Replies...It isn't a HIPAA violation to report suspected child abuse, which d**g abuse during pregnancy. The problem is that medical staff, often social workers, just see the d**g test result from the newborn and have no way of knowing that the d**g was prescribed to the mother during the birth.

Tell the whole story, please. This only applies to some of the later devices which have sufficient processing power to do local voice processing. On early devices all recordings go to the cloud anyway. A recording is just what is captured after it is triggered by the wakeword. You can actually use the app to review your own recordings. It is incredibly dull - though mine probably wouldn't get through BP's swearofiilter!
Yeah I just asked Alexa about the recording and she… lord, it… said only when it is prompted by the wake word. Hmm…

“'Sorry your loved one died, best we can do is a hot meal' was the holiday greeting Impact Plastics’ management chose to send last month to the families of the workers who perished in the catastrophic flooding at their plant during Hurricane Helene in September. Instead of accepting responsibility for their role in the tragedy, the Erwin, Tennessee, company sent $100 gift cards to the grieving families in December. This callous act is a stark illustration of the capitalist class’s utter disregard for the lives, and deaths, of the working class. The families of the deceased, along with surviving employees, received gift cards to McDonald’s, Walmart and Pal’s, another fast-food restaurant in the area."
Serious question: what exactly does "accepting responsibility " look like? Apologies, wergild, a chance to slap the CEO?

If you trip and fall into a pothole on one of those roads do you get super powers?
For anyone wondering, it is phosphogypsum, a byproduct of mining / producing phosphate fertilizer. It's not highly radioactive but it's also not NOT radioactive. As the radium 226 decays, it emits radon. They have about 20 billion tons of it to try to figure out what to do with. The article below says the road material idea was also considered back in the 80s. Bottom line seems to be not enough info for EPA to be sure it is/isn't safe enough to use in construction. https://www.npr.org/2023/07/17/1188181247/floridas-idea-to-use-radioactive-waste-in-road-construction-is-unsafe-critics-sa
It might sound crazy, but using this stuff for roads might be a better idea than it first seems. Radon is produced by lots of naturally occurring minerals. If you spread a source of radon out in the open, the gas will dilute to trivial levels and probably not cause any health problems. If you try to keep all the stuff in the one place, then you can have problems. Old granite houses in the UK sometimes have dangerous levels of radon due to modern double glazing, modern doors, and boarded up fireplaces: once you get rid of the drafts, you can get trouble. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon#Domestic-level_exposure

But why? Unless I’ve committed a crime and don’t want to be caught, what is the problem with the government having my DNA? I know it’s a privacy issue but I don’t understand why somebody having my DNA could hurt me, a non criminal.
Load More Replies...Yeah, I'm even leery about uploading my photo to these sites which purport to do 'fun' things with them (make you into a cartoon, a painting, etc.). I mean, there's a lot of my personal info available online to somebody if they really wanted to go digging, but that doesn't mean I have to hasten that along.
I have no Facebook or anything else like that. Random people don't need to know that much about you.

Load More Replies...Veterinarians now have the highest rates of self harm than any profession.
$178.00/month is much less expensive than caring for a baby. Vet bills are less than what pediatric doctors charge. You can even get pet insurance that will help cover vet bills, people can get health insurance, too.
Or just people, in general, regardless of age?
Load More Replies...I wouldn't have a child in today's economy either. There is a high chance that neither of my children will have children, and I'm ok with this. I'd suck as a grandparent, anyway.
Big investment funds noticed that. They are scooping small veterinary practicies. Vet fees are through the roof. People are abandoning their pets because they cannot afford to pay.
That's how it should work. Her grandma m******d someone. She deserves to go to jail and the victim's family deserves justice.

Not just any company. Insurance or automotive.
Load More Replies...My grandma was an illegal immigrant a few decades ago (not anymore) so I now know what I will NOT be doing…
Murdering children? Pretty sure 23&me went broke last week
Load More Replies...This is why I checked yes on sharing my DNA with law enforcement. Cheers violent relatives!
actually if they woman killed someone I am glad they finally caught her.
It's good that the murder got solved, but the issue is: how did the police got hold of the DNA sample? If the company sold/gave it to the police, what stops them from giving YOUR DNA information to your health insurer? What stops the police from abusing the access to your DNA? Oh, they are all such upstanding citizens, right? They'd never do that. Just like they'd never beat up black men, k**l sleeping black women, r**e children...

That's not superstition, it's really just a part of their worldview: ghosts exist, and it's best not to mess with them.

In the USA those cries for help would be mistaken for Jesus' return and a pastor would make a zillion dollars selling admittance to believers to come and hear Jesus' cries.

To be clear, bird flu is not and has never been the issue. Does nobody remember 2022? Midst of COVID, bird flu rampant, farmers complaining they would be out of business. Then come end of year what happened? Egg farmers by and large ALL reported record-level profits for the year. For every year they b***h about a bird flu, I will not buy a single egg in that year. F those guys. They just took a page from Big Oil's playbook ("oh we don't have enough oil, we need to charge $4 a gallon!")
Load More Replies...Dear President Trump, After careful consideration in regards to your request for the Kingdom of Denmark 🇩🇰, to increase our export of eggs, to the United States of America 🇺🇸, to assist you with your campaign promises, to lower the cost of groceries, specifically eggs. And, also taking into account your increasing interestingly opinionated reasons for demanding that we cede (just give you) the territory of Greenland 🇬🇱. We have come to the decision that you should; "Du skulle bare gå og sutte en masse æg. Du oppustet orange spild af menneskelig plads." Sincerely, King of Denmark Frederik X (Frederik André Henrik Christian).

I'm not sure that this makes sense. Eating bats, yes. But using bat guano as fertiliser... I'm not sure?
Depends on how the fertiliser is composted. Looks like it grew harmful fungal spores rather than nice healthy bacteria.

The 'squatter' was ruled by a judge to not be a squatter. The owner allegedly made "terroristic threats". She deserves to get her house back but it does sound like there are two sides to the story. https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/southeast/georgia-homeowner-arrested-alleged-squatter/
If someone has mail being delivered to the address and has resided at that address for 30 days (or more) they're not considered squatters. So basically, in some jurisdictions, if you cover the rent for ONE 31 day month....that's all you need to do to secure 12-18 months cost free accomodations before the courts manage to kick you out. Squatters have been pulling this c**p with traditional rentals, vacation properties that sit unused for months at a time, HOMES THAT ARE CURRENTLY FOR SALE, for YEARS at this point. There's not two sides, people who engage in this kind of behavior do not have "a side" they're thieves and it's a travesty that Castle doctrine doesn't apply to these situations.

Load More Replies..."Kansas Department for Children and Families Secretary Laura Howard said NPR did a series of investigative stories several years ago about foster care children losing their benefits. States claim the money as reimbursement for the costs of foster care. But governments already have an obligation to pay the costs of foster care under state and federal laws. The result is that only impoverished kids, who receive Social Security benefits because they’re orphans or because they’re disabled or their parents are disabled, get a bill for their own foster care.” Since NPR’s investigation, some states passed legislation to stop the practice, but 36 states still reimburse themselves with the children’s federal benefits. Kansas is the first state to use an executive order to change the practice."
I didn’t know about this practice until a family member showed me an itemized like bill showing why the funds were taken out of their check. All the charges were crazy! My mind was blown that the government was charging minors for their own care so when they hit 18 they immediately have a bill of debt. It’s insane! It’s not just foster care either. If you fall on hard times and need to use state/fed resources like that, when your trying to get back on your feet, any check you may get from the government in the future they can use to reimburse themselves for whatever they feel they out when they originally helped you. The state went after my sisters ex for back child support because she needed food stamps. That gave them the right to go after him for $, when they finally found him, tested dna and got confirmation, one kid got like less than 100$ and the other got nothing but an itemized list of charges from the state.
