Not The Onion

Have you ever come across a ridiculous headline that makes you do a double take and examine closer to make sure it's not The Onion? Well 2020 has been one long explosion of absurd news stories that read like satire and headlines sometimes too outrageous to believe. Twitter account @theon1on has done a pretty good job keeping track of all the real-life weirdness that might have slipped through the cracks. While you were reading the latest pandemic news, you might have missed the guy who sold his kidney for an iPhone, or the giant monolith that mysteriously appeared in Utah. We've selected some of the weirdest headlines documented by @theon1on, but be sure to check out the account for more crazy headlines. 

Refinery29 probably made a bad call with publishing this article in their series entitled Money Diaries, which chronicles how the Millennial woman budgets her "hard-earned" money. In this particular installment, R29 interviews a 21-year-old college student and marketing intern living in New York City who makes $25 per hour and can somehow still afford to have a little extra cash left over after she pays the bills.

Sounds like a pretty typical Millennial life, right? Well sure, until you learn that said marketing intern has rich parents who pay her rent, phone bill and health insurance costs. Needless to say, the internet is absolutely raging about this spoiled rich girl's lavish lifestyle.

Seriously, WHAT is in the water in Florida that makes Florida Man do what he keeps on doing?

Lo and behold, the following headlines are not satire! Scroll down to learn about some of the industries those terrible Millennials are totally destroying!

Twitter user Sperry Garcia uses ridiculous headlines about all of the industries that Millennials are killing and makes them into beautiful poetry, because he's the hero we need.
