#3 The Gay Ant That Makes You Gay
While it might seem positively archaic now, the Onion was actually founded as a print newspaper in 1988, in Madison, Wisconsin. This means there are some folks out there in the Midwest who probably still have physical, pre-internet copies of the Onion. That itself sounds like a joke or prank, yet here we are.
It only moved to New York in 2001, with its debut edition coming out on the 27th of September of that year. It mostly focused on the September 11 attacks, and ended up driving a lot of attention and traffic to its web version, which to this day remains what the Onion is best known for.
#4 Hannes Can't Trust Media Anymore Because Of The Onion
If the idea of a print version of the Onion is still shocking, five years later after their New York debut, they had a circulation of over 500,000, which no doubt led to a lot of very confused looks from passersby for folks enjoying the paper on the subway or in a park. Unfortunately, screenshots only exist online, so there were probably many hilarious moments that were lost to the ages.
