every now and then they'll do something that goes so far that it sort of leaves the snark behind and turns into something else. like this one, which kind of reads like a sick parody of an onion article to me:

that international student one is solid onion. you've got kids being assholes to each other, kids being assholes in particular to a kid with a troubled home life - exaggerated case here obv, that doing the satirical effort - and 'first world problems' teenage edition. the intention isn't always to be funny, except maybe in the most wry, desert dry way possible i guess. sometimes they are just shining a light or sticking a knife. this one is the former and that creative project one i linked is the latter, both v well executed imo
