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. 🤣

The comment wasn't edited, there would be an indicator on it.

"Ate the onion" is indeed a real phrase.
