Welcome to the official page of The Wasted Onion, The Only News Source. We post the most important and trustworthy journalism that shines light in the dark halls of power and asks the tough questions. They say “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” we say “Hey, We’ll Totally Trade You This Democracy That’s Collecting Dust in Our Attic for a $100 Amazon Gift Card.”
The Wasted Onion posts the best news story every weekday from The Onion and is run by @da-ta in ode to @onion by imadeanaccount.
Statement From Paul Woodman, Head Of Legal At The Wasted Onion: The Wasted Onion condemns the gross threat by presidential candidate TallPeter to ban our reporters from the Oval Office. Not just is it a threat against democracy, it is an attack against the greatest and sexiest news source to grace the planet which you miserable slobs call home. Due to these comments, The Wasted Onion’s parent business The Wasted Company has filed a lawsuit against TallPeter for infringing on our freedom of speech. We will win this lawsuit, as we know we’re standing on the right side of history, as well as having full control over the world’s legal systems. We urge TallPeter to remember who holds the cards here, because we didn’t take over every major financial institution with kindness and a can-do attitude, we did it the old fashioned way with unyielding and unfettered capitalism. TallPeter must also remember we have rigged every election from U.S. presidents to Discord moderators, and we are not afraid to ensure TallPeter “accidentally“ doesn’t appear on ballot papers any more, that would be such a shame. So remember, The Only News Source is the divine light in a world shrouded in darkness, and to try and defy this natural order is akin to killing your own dog by accident in Minecraft, with the pain lingering for the rest of your insignificant life.
I will be banning reporters from WastedOnion from entering the oval office if elected.

By The Wasted Onion: Police Still Figuring Out Difference Between Bob Vylan, Bob Dylan And Kneecap
SOMERSET, ENGLAND—Expressing confusion and frustration over differentiating the musical acts it is attempting to investigate over comments made during their performances at Glastonbury Festival, Avon and Somerset Police said Tuesday it is still figuring out the difference between Bob Vylan, Bob Dylan and Kneecap. “We’re launching an appeal to the attendants of the 2025 Glastonbury Festival in helping us understand what separates Bob Vylan from Bob Dylan, as our own forensics haven’t been much help. Is Bob Vylan the Irish rap group? Are the two black males Bob Dylan perhaps? Is Kneecap the iconic American singer-songwriter? If you can explain it to us, please get in touch,” said Chief Constable Sarah Crew at a press briefing. “So wait, you’re telling me that only two of these acts were even performing at Glastonbury? Well fuck,” said the Chief Constable after a reporter from lesser news outlet BBC explain that Bob Dylan was in America and not Glastonbury. Ms. Crew went on to ask if Kneecap is Kanye West's new name. Concluding the press event, Ms. Crew asked the public to help the force understand the difference between Bob Vylan, Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan.

By The Wasted Onion: Man Drinks Hand Sanitiser After Reading 60% Alcohol Content; Dies
VOLENDAM, NETHERLANDS—Remembering the “dearly loved” member of the community, the family of local man Noah Jansen announced Sunday that he had died from drinking a bottle of hand sanitiser after reading it had a 60% alcohol content. “We’re heartbroken to announce the untimely death of our beloved Noah. He loved life almost as much as he loved anything that had alcohol in it. Being the stupid drunkard he was, this is not a surprise, but at least he died doing what he loved best; getting shitfaced,” said a statement from the Jansen family's legal representative. “Are you seriously fucking asking me if you should drink hand sanitiser? This was not the shit I imagined I’d be doing in this profession,” said Beatrix Aarle, a Gastroenterologist who spoke to The Wasted Onion while rolling her eyes. “If the Hippocratic Oath didn’t exist I’d say you deserve to die if you’re that much of a dipshit to drink hand sanitiser.” In an exclusive interview with Mr. Jansens mother, she said her son was well known to drink various liquids not meant for human consumption, such as diesel, cyanide, chlorine, and Prime by Logan Paul and KSI.
