Honest question. At what point do people proclaim this? Did you read the article or did you internally respond before checking the source?

    No. You read the headline, and react. Just the same as any other article. Then you see the community posted, laugh, and reply "ate the onion".

    See in the 90s, the whole point of the onion (the actual original paper distributed onion newsletter) was to grab peoples attention and fool them into thinking it's a real headline.

    Thats what happened here. I believed it was a legit headline. Thus, I ate the onion.
