NEW HAVEN, CT—Admitting that a highly contagious, deadly pandemic had done little to stoke his creativity, local man Michael Ayers confided to reporters Wednesday that he wasn’t sure why he had imagined the most stressful situation he had ever experienced would be the thing that finally made him more productive. “Despite my high hopes, the most devastating crisis of my life hasn’t turned out to be the catalyst I needed to meet all of my long-held personal goals,” said Ayers, who added that he had no idea what he was thinking when he told himself that being furloughed from his job and enduring a sustained period of emotional isolation would be just what he needed to start eating better, acquaint himself with world cinema, and get a jumpstart on the novel he had always wanted write. “For some reason I took a look at an economic catastrophe that may soon rival the Great Depression and said, ‘Oh great, now I’ll have the energy and the space I need to focus on my creative side.’ But I guess living with ever-present, crushing uncertainty and the knowledge that people all around me are dying wasn’t the stimulus I needed after all.” At press time, Ayers had reportedly decided that, going forward, he would instead focus all his time and attention on feeling guilty about his lack of productivity.

ЛУЧШЕ НЕТ ВЛАГАЛИЩА , ЧЕМ ОЧКО ТОВАРИЩА

Please and thank you!

Too much weed bro

The most taxing thing in most straight men's lives is trying to teach their gf/fiances/wives what their gf/fiances/wives fathers should have taught them all while growing up!

An article about me

An interview with Sean Murray

Now convinced The Onion is following me everywhere

If you didn’t start a podcast this year, you never will

Oof

Stop tweeting about me!

Sadly, 'productive' means something else at The Onion because TheOnionSucks.

Poor Michael Was he equating 'Productivity' with happiness and satisfaction in life? Therefore, catastrophes would help him reach his goals So sad, he needs a new outlook on what brings peace and self-worth, and for sure it is not productivity That's something like privatization

I used to like the Onion until I realized it leans Left. It’s less “deadly” than the flu. Ugh.

SarahLeeNY

He will have to masterbate his way out of this one.

Minor typo in that article: '.... and get a jumpstart on the novel he had always wanted write.' Should be 'to write'.

He looks like Dan Radcliffe, Robert Pattinson, and Ben Shapiro all rolled into one.

'Man has a neat trick that he wants to show you but you have to come over in your pajamas to see it.'

there is no reason for every word to be capitalized in this headline and it bothers me so much

Stop reading my thoughts!

Though Trump knew that the COVID was deadly, he understated the situation since he didn’t want to panic the public. If meteorologists tracked down that a tsunami would affect a region, could they drop the warning to take precautionary measures because it would cause panic?

Take me back to the quarantine times when people thought they'd learn 4 new languages, become professional bakers and get into shape all at the same time

Dear 🧅 you need to help us out by not writing about our actual lives!! We need levity not reality 🤷🏻‍♀️😭😭😭!!

My heart

hey shut up

Yet they won’t believe it

Some of us can dream

on point as always

Fake News! I’m not productive despite being psychologically strained.

Jesus, this sounds just like me!

Onion will never be as good as TheBabylonBee

if you're going to personally attack me, at least me next time

Sometimes you just need a gender reveal to light a fire within you

why does this look like rob pattinson

Sometimes man just needs some love :/

I feel like I needed this post, thank you.

Please stop fucking subtweeting me

Hahaha nailed it

ruthyoest Get out of my head you demons

That’s kinda wholesome towards my current routine so thank you onion,

Is that batemanjason?

This is me right now, started out great then I kept on getting more and more stress tacked on to me. Now people wonder why I'm sad or don't have the motivation to do anything.

Surreal

i don't go to sleep before 3 anymore. please send help

that’s what all the life coach DVDs tell us

A+. Esp the pic.

edgarwright HA, JOKES ON YOU,Ive beat two whole videogames in this lockdown, which is more than I usually beat in a whole year.

Oh look it's me and everyone else

is that ben shapiro

Being a lazy fk is harder.I should know.

Both genders can use a Pringle’s can to masterbate but neither can do it very well

Yes, just sit around and do nothing, just like they want you to.

I like the photo of the man in this story. His eyes have that tiny, ever-so-slight bloodshot look that reveals he is an alcoholic and most likely my next husband. 😍YAY!

angiecthomas 🙋🏾‍♀️

MattThorson You know, being called out by The Onion kinda makes me feel better.

limp_bizkit155 CAPITALISM, BABEH

Hey this is me and I don't like it.

neilhimself

neilhimself Why do you hate us so much? I ain't been called out like this since Beau Gallagher made me actually put my dukes up.

_jstrand D:

Onion, you're reporting actual news again.

I feel seen.

why does this look like Robert Pattinson

ConradPolloi most psychologically taxing situation of your life *so far*

BBW_BFF Feeling this today, champ

PatrickWeekes Why does the satire news outlet give more whole mood truths than most real people?

Unironically I am now more productive than ever.

oneunderscore__ Sometimes we just need a real friend around to help us through the mess.

It’s early to tell for sure, but women are faring much worse than men so far... hm who could have predicted this?

LaurakBuzz Love it 💗

This man looks like the result of Ben Shapiro and Jason Bateman having a love child

joshscherr Innit?

Super cool of you to call me out like this, thanks.

The Onion has distilled in a headline endless debate about using your time stuck at home.

mikeBithell Strangely enough that has been kind of true for me. Things were going great for me personally before all of this, so it gave me motivation to keep things going / do even better because I can't let this stop me for, what could be, years.

StreetLegalTony

As always, The Onion gets it right. 😂

Me getting out of bed.

this but not sarcastically

same with Area Woman

My pen and a blank sheet of paper look back up at me, tauntingly. I don't care.

mountboom

Haha haha.

Stings, bitterly you monsters.

Me, still in bed eating ice cream: HEY THAT'S ME
