I hope this is satire ๐
Unfortunately a lot of satire turns to reality these days. The Onion has a lot of work keeping ahead of the craziness.
It's actually quite terrifying that we cannot say it's 100% satire.
An instance of Poe's law.
And in full disclosure, I had actually forgotten the name of that and had to look it up, which from an outside perspective might also look like an instance of it.
I always get that and Cunningham's mixed up. But the good news is it always looks like an intentional use of Cunningham's Law if I do.
I always assume the person with the Super Mario World cartoon series avatar is joking in any situation. It saves a lot of stress.
