The site name's a play on "The Onion" so it's gotta be satire, right? I couldn't find an about page to confirm.

Lucky 10000: It's a pun. A quaver is a duration of a musical note in the UK, equivalent to a USA eighth note; a semidemihemiquaver is a sixtyfourth note, used to notate e.g. certain kinds of trumpet trills.

It's both of those, and a reference to Moana where the shiny crab calls Maui a "semi-demi mini-god"
