The Rules

Links to news stories from...

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

I imagine that there are hundreds of swf files! The only way to make it really work is to maybe reconstruct the site locally by hand, and that would need a super fan with all of the free time in the world to accomplish, even with some community help. The creators may have a complete true backup, but as far as I know, it hasn't been released.

They could pull a Newgrounds and integrate Ruffle (an open-source Flash player) directly into the site. That'd save them the headache of maintaining compatibility for all the niche features.

Edit: looks like that's exactly what they did! Which I now see @insomniac_lemon@lemmy.cafe mentioned in their comment, whoops!
