fake

There are a few reasons to pretend that you said a perfectly timed one-liner and then roundhouse kicked a fellow Starbucks customer in the face. One reason is that you're looking to lie to the world in exchange for some totally undeserved attention. Another might be that you want to imagine that you're the type of person who knows martial arts. Social media lets people express themselves, and sometimes the selves people try to express aren't that great. People also use the internet to make up crap about their intelligence, like these cringe-worthy brain-lords who think they're total geniuses.

It's weird how with a smidgen of detail and a few photos, you can convey some incredible and untrue "information" on eclipses and death cults. As with history, science can also be easily farced, like this thread on the "dangers" of black-tiled pools and gullibility. 

You'd think that in this day and age people would be aware that joke news sites exist, or at least have enough sense to look at the source of a headline. But no, your aunt will still seriously respond to an article from "The Not Real News Times" about how sea world has taught its dolphins to drown children who aren't having enough fun. Anyway here are more absurd individuals who didn't get satire.

It starts out really making sense, then you're like all right this is getting extreme? Then upon closer inspection, possibly by employing your crackerjack critical thinking skills you read the username and you're like "oh." The creative minds of Tumblr never stop, leading to some totally random, funny and bizarre Tumblr nuggets.

When this woman asked a parody customer service Facebook account to get back into her game, they made sure to make her experience as strange as possible. Not sure if this woman was in on it from the start, just playing along, or if she was just super desperate to get back to playing her casino game. Either way, the things you can do with a fake customer service account are absolutely wonderful.

There are more than a few satire websites out there, and there's a lot of softheaded nincompoops who believe it. Sometimes reading a joke headline can be confusing for a person who lacks critical thinking skills. Often they get angry because they don't understand what's going on. Sometimes, even more distressingly, they think that the headline is good news and share it with their friends. It's fun to laugh at their confusion, but eventually it just kind of gets sad.

We're not going to lie. We'd definitely be interested in buying some of these. "Fake products" and all, these are pretty great. Also, if you thought you knew what fear was you hadn't seen Kermit with teeth yet. Good luck getting to sleep tonight. 

Before reacting to a headline, always check the source and make sure that you're not alerting everyone on your feed to the fact that you didn't understand an obvious joke. The Onion has been around for decades, but people still get duped by their joke headlines, like all the time.

It's almost always a bad idea to lie to a doctor. Like, if you're in the hospital for a legit reason, it's always a better option to actually tell them what happened to you. And if you're in a doctors office for a totally illegitimate reason. idk what to say, man. Anyway with that out of the way, here's some juicy times people lied to doctors and faked illness for various reasons. If you want even more of a sad thrill, here are doctors telling stories of their most dangerously stupid patients.

Every time we post one of these it makes us think that there are no legitimate reviews out there. Does anyone every just have a good sandwich anymore? Is it all just angry liars with an axe to grind? Anyway, it sounds like whoever's idea it was to open a diner next to a diner is bound to be a few sandwiches short of, well, a diner.

We humans love to see justice served to those who deserve it. Right? I can personally say that there's nothing more satisfying than seeing online liars get caught. Did they really think they'd get away with it? It almost makes you feel like there are actual repercussions for dishonesty in this world. Here are some times people got called out for their falsehoods, large and petty, and it's pretty damn satisfying.
