By The Wasted Onion: The Wasted Onion Celebrates 1 Year On Wasteof By Donating $1 Tim Hortons Gift Card To Jeffalo

INVERNESS, SCOTLAND—Marking a year since The Only News Source joined the social media site, The Wasted Onion has announced it will donate a $1 Tim Hortons gift card to wasteof.money owner Jeffalo. "The last year for us has been one of our best in our 291 year history. Thanks to our expansion into the smuggling of fentanyl, as well as The Wasted Onion joining wasteof. We've now reached over 1 trillion people on there alone with our beautiful and arousing journalism, making us a conservative £1 quadrillion. To celebrate a year on the platform, I have personally sent one of my many hitmen to hand the sites owner Jeffalo a Tim Hortons gift card with a cash value of CA$1," said Wasted Company CEO Clef Bozos at the publications uranium enrichment laboratory. "I'm sure it will be put to good use by Jeffalo, he can get himself a very lovely coffee and smile knowing he is saving a dollar all thanks to the generosity of us here at The Wasted Onion and Canada's most prestigious chain coffeehouse brand." Mr. Bozos commended The Wasted Onion newsroom for posting at least once every single day to wasteof in 2025, strangling an assistant who mentioned the publication technically missed a few days due to outages on the social media site. At press time, The Wasted Company announced it overestimated its profits of over £1 quadrillion, realising it was more or less £0, resulting in the company begging Jeffalo to return the Tim Hortons gift card to keep the company afloat.

Thank you for 1 year of The Wasted Onion! I hope you’re enjoying it as much I enjoy making it - da-ta/Auriali

By The Wasted Onion: Heartwarming: Local White Woman Learns How To Use Chopsticks

TOPEKA, KS—In a moment she described as "joyous" Monday, local white woman Loretta Taylor finally learnt how to properly use chopsticks. "I felt quite a lot of achievement honestly, I've tried to understand how to use chopsticks for years, but I've always had to give up and just start stabbing to eat my sweet and sour chicken in a reasonable amount of time," said Miss. Taylor in a local Chinese restaurant she reportedly frequents where she also practices on improving her Mandarin that she's been "learning from Duolingo," according to her girlfriend. "I don't even know how it happened, but something must've clicked. I was struggling to eat a chow mein and then boom! I suddenly just got it, I can grasp the noodles like its nothing! As I said I'm pretty proud of myself, my girlfriend was even like ‘you finally did it, you dumbass.’" Fellow white diners at the restaurant reportedly clapped when Miss. Taylor successfully learnt to use the chopsticks, yearning to be able to do it just like she could at some point in their futures. When asked what she hoped to master next, Miss. Taylor said she hoped to learn how to pronounce "char siu" correctly.

By The Wasted Onion: Windows 12 Appears To Be Full-Screen React Native Web OS According To Newest Leak

REDMOND, WA—In a massive data breach of the tech company's private servers Friday, a leak seems to show that a new version of the giants desktop OS Windows, named Windows 12 internally, is a full-screen React Native web OS. "It appears that this upcoming version of Windows is a massive shift away from C and C++ in favour of React Native, meaning the OS is more like a web app than what we would call a native operating system. I guess it makes sense, why make cool stuff when you can just be Facebook?" said technology journalist and massive loser Redd Itt. "We are actively investigating what was accessed by the third parties who breached Microsoft security measures that led to this unauthorised publishing of information. We were hoping to break the news more gently, mainly by asking Copilot how to do that given we fired everyone who would usually find an angle for us to use to make it seem like we're not fucking over the consumer," said new Microsoft spokesperson Copilot. According to anonymous sources at the company who contacted The Wasted Onion via its network of mutant sewer rats, the upcoming iteration of Windows is 99% vibe coded, with only the name being personally selected by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella while jittery from an iced coffee. At press time, Microsoft said it had found the individual responsible for the leak, revealing that Clippy, the former virtual assistant, was now enacting his revenge.

By The Wasted Onion: New Windows 11 Update Removes Everything Except Copilot

REDMOND, WA—Hailing the newest changes made to its flagship operating system as "the next era of personal computing" Thursday, tech giant Microsoft has released an update for Windows 11 that removes everything except for its AI chatbot Copilot. "Today we are proud to announce the future of Windows, Microsoft and computing with the latest update heading for a PC near you. We're calling it ‘Agentic Nothingness,’ a whole new way to experience Windows 11 and technology through the Copilot app, and only through the Copilot app. To help bring this new vision to life, we have removed everything from Windows 11 other than the Copilot app," said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in a statement that he claims was written by Copilot, which he was unable to copy and paste into an email due to removing the ability to do so from Windows 11. "We feel it was necessary to remove all distractions to bring our ‘Agentic Nothingness’ to life, that means no more taskbar, start menu, shut down button, programs, paint, notepad, and whatever other stuff we used to make. We're Microsoft, the AI company, we don't have time to make ‘features’ that people find ‘useful,’ all we have time for is getting that glorious line to go up, and AI is fantastic at doing that." Reactions to the update were mixed, with many users expressing frustration that the OS no longer had any discernible features other than Copilot, while some others found that at least the company finally removed their Edge web browser. At press time, Microsoft announced it would rename itself to Copilot Company Enterprise Business 365 Series X.

By The Wasted Onion: Trump Mobile Says Obama Stole All Its Phones

MIAMI, FL—Following multiple unexplained delays of its smartphone announced back in June 2025 that it claims is "made in the USA," Trump Mobile has said that former U.S. President Barack Obama has stolen all of its stock of the T1 Phone. "Notice to customers who have pre-ordered the T1 Phone: we unfortunately have to delay shipping of the T1 Phone further into 2026 due to the evil Barack Hussein Obama breaking into the Trump Mobile warehouse and stealing our entire stock of T1 Phones to stop our hard-working and brave Americans experiencing TRUE technological excellence," said a banner added to the Trump Mobile website Wednesday. "We have reason to believe that Barack Hussein Obama and his wife Michelle have stolen the large and beautiful stockpile of T1 Phones from the Trump Mobile warehouse to help communist China keep its stranglehold on cheap smartphones built by child slaves." The company went on to claim that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani was "involved in this assault against America and its values" accusing Mamdani of "using his charm and good looks to distract guards so that the Obama’s could commit their act of treason against the United States," according to a spokesperson wearing a tacky gold coloured Trump branded bathing suit. At press time, Trump Mobile announced the T1 Watch, a smartwatch that would include a feature that alerts users to any ICE raid being conducted nearby so that they could decide if they would like to "kill [themselves] before the brave ICE patriots do it for them."
