ONN was the golden age of the Onion.

Wasn’t ONN the product of the whole “pivot to video” con that Facebook pulled on the news media industry, thereby draining newspapers’ and news websites’ coffers and faciliating a massive consolidation of the industry?

The videos are very funny though. The Onion has been getting into tiktok/youtube shorts nowadays, albeit with much lower production values.

Yes, but the videos they made were fucking hilarious.

I rewatch this at least once a year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJwHZVl5Buk

The Trump voter feels betrayed by president after reading 800 pages of queer feminist theory is also hilarious (even if there’s some :hillary: in there)

It’s hard being absurd when reality keeps outpacing you

Breadtube if it didn’t suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It’s open submission unless there’s something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it’s currently in.
