    I know everything they write is potentially a joke but I got curious when The Onion was founded; apparently it was in 1988, 38 years ago :)

      It sounds like their archive contains 270 year old contents, not that they’re 270 year old company

  I was excited that I may have been able to help, but I just have issues from volumes 36 and 37... Perhaps this is for the best, as it would have deeply fed my pack rat tendencies.

  Did somebody steal these magazines or are they just being overly dramatic?

    Could also just be a joke - never know with the Onion ;)

    They could have just lost them too, doesn't need to be nefarious.

    Hard to tell if the onion is trying to be funny?

    It was me. Just wait until they find out which of the 1920s issues I took.

  libraries sadly have to destroy old archives all the time

  but it's not like a lost Doctor Who episode, it will show up eventually

  meanwhile they can keep eerily predicting dystopia like the government televising executions for entertainment a year before it happens

  Should have posted the direct link with more details about what they are looking for and how to help.

  That's here: https://theonion.com/archivehunt/
