Satire: Thinking satire is real is called Poe's Law. The Legal Eagle talks about the Onion's first amicus briefing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxTWonQvXkw "Birds aren't real": As every kid who shot a bird with a BB gun and damn near every cat owner knows, birds are real.

Great timing in talking about how the lines between perception of reality, trolling, and satire are getting awfully smudged. Literally a couple days ago, my friend was telling me about a date he went on. According to him… His date seems nice, they’re having a decent time, and then this woman starts talking about how birds aren’t real. My friend thinks “Similar sense of humor, appreciation for satire, this is cool.” After a little while he was like “OMFG, this chick is serious! Ok. Time to go.” When he conveyed the story to me, I told him I would be laughing if it didn’t have the stronger effect of making me want to weep for us all.
