    I'll admit -- not being super familiar with clickhole -- I went around and checked whether this was actually a thing... which says more about 2018 than just about anything else you could think up. o.o

      It's an offshoot of The Onion. Where The Onion satirizes newspapers, Clickhole satirizes BuzzFeed.

      It’s not even a 2018 thing. This absurdity has been the norm for a couple years now.

      The tag for this post also says "satire," which helps me out considerably because this sounds like something absurd enough to potentially have happened when spun a different way.

        To be fair, most of the headlines from the past year and a half have sounded like satire.
