Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

He said "ate". This is a term used to mean that someone took the article at face value, without realizing it is satire.
That's what I'm saying. I ate it too, or at least took a bite and started chewing before trying to figure out what was off here.
EDIT: LOL, now I have no idea whether I misread, or if @MajorHavoc edited their post to change "hate" to "ate". Probably the former, though I stand by my opinion that The Onion's best gags are always the headlines. ๐คฃ
The comment wasn't edited, there would be an indicator on it.
"Ate the onion" is indeed a real phrase.
