Edited to point to the archive.org version -- the Onion seems to have deleted the OG post. Thanks to bingrazer for the heads up!

Did they delete this? Shows an error 404 now

Huh, it looks like it. They still have their post up on BlueSky, but yeah it goes to a 404, too: https://bsky.app/profile/theonion.com/post/3mpjeqkbf632l

I found it on the Wayback machine. I'll update the post URL.

Thanks. I found it there too, but I was more surprised by the removal. It didn't seem particularly over the top for them.
