35 Times People Told Outrageous Lies Online And Immediately Got Called Out
The most opinionated people online always seem to be the ones hiding behind a blank profile picture. Give someone a default avatar, and suddenly they have a wild story for every occasion.
That being said, nobody is better at sniffing out B.S. than the internet. Casual readers on social media and Reddit can spot one suspicious detail from a mile away. The people featured on r/ThatHappened shared these absurd stories with complete confidence, but everyone else had a few questions.
I’m not saying you can’t embellish a little for entertainment purposes. Sometimes a story needs a fresh coat of paint. But some people take it so far that even the most casual reader can see the truth waving goodbye in the rearview mirror.
