A link or phrase posted when people exemplify Poe’s Law[1] by mistaking satire for truth. Named for the long running satirical publisher “The Onion”, this Subreddit documents screencaps of the times people fell for a hoax news item from any satirical publication, website, blog or Facebook page such as The Onion, ClickHole, Religimarole, BabylonBee, Christians against Dinosaurs (CAD), Christians Against Science, Christwire, Stop Masturbation Now, Christians against Tattoos, Objective Ministries, and all the many many others. r/AteTheOnion.

Hungry after reading this misleading title? Find what you’re really looking for at r/OnionLovers, while r/onionhate ask why do so many people have the wrong opinion. r/TheOnion collects the best links to the satirical site but r/onions is for Tor Onion Routing Hidden Services. Finally, r/onionheadlines is a subreddit for writing news headlines in the style of *The Onion*.
