Looking for a parody or joke type sub. Where you take real stories and run with it. Ex: Minnesota is in the middle of a snow storm right now. But in that sub maybe it gets changed to Minnesota is

That sounds fun. I don’t think it exist so you could create it.

Might be an idea

Can confirm: It is an idea.

I can imagine a c/newstotheextreme community, where the rule is to have the title and body of the post be an illogical/absurd extension of the actual news article, which is both screenshotted and linked.

The screenshot provides the funny juxtaposition of an absurd title against the original title, which should be sufficient to prevent people from thinking Minnesota is actually having an ice age.

Let us know if you decide to create that community!

They’re not subs, but you may be looking for something like The Onion or Hard Times

I created !alternateuniverse for just this purpose, but it kinda went dormant after a while. May be come there and we can talk about how to prepare ourselves for the nuclear winter situation in Minnesota.

After a long fought battle against the tree people using fire and ice by the humans, which resulted in many self inflicted war casualties for the humans, the tree people have once again started to grow at a rapid pace. Projections using this current rate of growth say the tree people will take over the earth in 273 days.

Theoretically it would be something like r/Conspiracy, but in a joking manner.

So creativity is now equal to conservatism?
