Show HN: SeriesF – The Onion for Startup News

Ironical satire news site raises $100 million to disrupt the satire industry.

Just take a look at the front page of HN right now. Reality in the tech bubble is pretty much beyond satire. Nobody would know the difference.

Even calling yourselves the Onion for Startup News is hilarious. The whole &#x27;we&#x27;re like uber but for ... &#x27; has become meaningless. The pieces on your tumblr so far have been pretty funny.<p>This industry needs more social commentary along the lines of Silicon Valley on HBO and sites like this. Silicon Valley nails our industry almost every week. It&#x27;s brutal, but it&#x27;s reasonably accurate satire.

Not bad, not bad... And I like the domain name too. Also, reminds me of my own idea years back when domain name POOMA NEWS.com was available...<p>POOMA of course meant &quot;Pulled Out Of&quot;, and I could not help with some double-&quot;O&quot; animated logo ideas either... Realized that constantly being funny is such a strain on your creativity, decided to use that towards solving serious problems :)

This violates the HN policy against sarcasm&#x2F;satire. Please report your link and burn your computer.

Nice. You will never run out of material. That&#x27;s for sure!<p>A few off the top of my head:<p>Uber for Facebook: on demand outsourced upkeep on your boring but essential social media presences<p>Snapchat in talks with Twitter: merger could set new valuation record of over 17 trillion dollars!

This is hilarious. Reminds me of Bored Elon Musk: it is so funny exactly because it is so close to believable reality. I, for one, could certainly see the viability of the idea of giving startups office space for equity, Airbnb or not.

I&#x27;d sign up on Facebook, if that option was there. I don&#x27;t know if you can make a living from this, but I like this idea a lot as a consumer.
