Okay, so, Onion-like and Onion-esque content is okay, as long as it's not The Onion. Good to know. I always prefer to ask people in the know aside from just reading the rules. Rules are a bit reductive, and there are so many interpretations. Thanks. But I still don't know if personal stories with no outside source are allowed. Like, things you read in a newspaper or watch on local news. That kind of thing. I can't really provide sourcess for those, since the media doesn't usually provide a source. And is this place for English-only stories or can I post translated/untranslated sources? Because believe me, all media is a circus, not just the media in English. It's multicultural.

You should read the community info on the sidebar. In short, this is a humorous community that shares real news stories that seem like they could be from *The Onion*. So posts should be actual links to news reports with their original headlines, but only news stories that are weird enough that they read like headlines from *The Onion* are appropriate. The name "Not The Onion" is a joke, because the news stories here are supposed to be real but make you think you're reading satire.
