It's sad that I actually needed to check to see if this was an Onion article or not

[–] whydudothatdrcrane@lemmy.ml 5 points 14 hours ago

Reads the title

Goes WTF

Goes back to reread the title in moderate disbelief

Notices the website is theonion

Fuck you onion, you almost had me the first time around!

Great, now he and I have something in common.

I mean in his defense... This is an onion article after all. It's only mostly believable.

Terrible attempt at satire, completely unbelievable.

He can't order anyone to force her until he's crowned by the Supreme Court.

Then he'll make it an Official Act.

Wow, this onion went down way too easily. I was fully ready to believe it.

This is the first time I actually did a double take at an onion article lol. It got me good too.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Sometimes we eat the onion long before it arrives.

It's an 18th century law. Her knowing is irrelevant to him.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Shh, don't spoil the surprise!

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago

Had me for a second until I realized that he wouldn't know 18th-century law.

[–] betahack@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

don't tell him about prima nocta....NO PRIMA NOCTA!!!
