The InfoWars of old was only the prototype for the hell I know we can build together: A digital platform where, every day, visitors sacrifice themselves at altars of delusion and misery, their minds fully disintegrating on contact.
It’s magnificent.
I’m a bit worried this will turn into qAnon ×10 but just as many people will think it’s dead serious.
Yes but it will be actually funny this time.
Birds aren’t really set as good an example as I’ve seen and it still got out of hand.
I still can imagine the Pastafarians eventually losing the parody and having fundamentalists someday too.
Will it be funny?
Some of what any fundamentalists do will always be funny, but usually only to outsiders
Yeah but mostly funny.
Aw man, Learn to Float is already sold out!
Damn! I wanted to learn the ancient secrets of floating!!
It’s easy, you just fall but right before you hit the ground, you distract yourself and… miss.
Covered slightly more seriously by the NYT and probably others: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/business/infowars-alex-jones-the-onion.html
You have been blocked from The New York Times because we suspect that you’re a robot.
Dammit, foiled agian1
I kind of regret that there’s no /r/TotallyNotRobots analog on the Threadiverse, but I suppose that there might not be enough people who want to do casual creative writing to keep it active. !writingprompts@literature.cafe seems to be getting limited traffic.
Best. News. And Tim Heidecker at the creative helm too!! It’s gonna be so wack!!
Cant wait to put rainbow infowars stickers on all the stop signs with the old stickers on them, nothing like a little maintenance and upkeep
Don’t forget to make some Ukrainian and Palestinian versions.
I’ve seen this headline five times during the whole process. I’ll believe it when it happens.
The fact that this headline came without 500 propaganda articles coming to Jones defense leads me to believe that he’s burned all his bridges and nobody is there to rescue him this time.
Infowars.com has a big banner up proclaiming: “The Onion Lies To Internet Again, Falsely Claims Control Over Infowars”
I’ll join in the fist-pumping when that’s gone.
Yeah i just looked, jones definitely still has it.
It’s unfortunate that it’s not final yet, but this is still awesome
Can’t wait for the next Knowledge Fight episode to drop!
It’s kind of amazing how this is all coming together at the same time for Alex: getting his life’s “work” bought out from under him while Trump cuts him out of the alt-rot movement altogether. I’m curious how it’s all going to go.
They’re going to be so happy.
Last I heard, Onion CEO Ben Collins was dating Kat Abughazaleh.
No no no. What you heard was “They’re sleeping together” and that’s only because they both have narcolepsy.
Ended, the info wars have.
Before reading the article, I was going to say make it the same but with different tone. Same lies same everything as to show people it remains the same except for the tone. But nah, this new vision sounds interesting.
Congratulations, The Onion!!!
Tim Heidecker in charge? Awesome!
This is pretty cool.
Now, is there any way they can hand the day-to-day operations off to Julian Assange?
