The 21st century is the era of technology. It’s all about information and the way we present it. Almost everyone knows that you can’t believe everything you read online. If you have any doubts about that rule, look at these 20 people who had no problems posting fiction for the world to see.

Luckily, however, the internet has also made it much easier to call these people out on their fibs.

A lot of social media users post everything online – from their favorite color to where they usually eat lunch. That means finding out different things about someone has never been easier. You might think it’s simple to fool others, but this web of lies can easily be unraveled. Just remember all those examples of men and women catching their spouses cheating on social media!

(And that’s just one example out of the bunch!)

So, without further ado, let’s see what else we have here.

It won’t be his favorite picture for long

This guy went outside and posed as if the sun was in his eyes. Yes, he covered the face with his hand and everything. If only his shadow understood the game. Everyone knows that your shadow can’t be in front of you if the sunlight’s hitting you from the front. In just a half-hour after posting the photo, three people commented about the shadow. We only hope that he didn’t skip Physics to go and take that photo. That would explain a lot, though.

Take it easy!

Not only did Rob ran 5 kilometers, but he did it faster than the current record time is. Seems like real talent is lurking from the shadows. Joshua Cheptegei who? What do we know about running anyway?! The man said he did it in 10 minutes, and that’s the end of the discussion.

People nowadays – paying attention to every minor detail!

Now here’s a girl who doesn’t seem to get the point when someone told her that she cannot be a virgin, and pregnant at the same time. First, she capitalized on the letter “s” in “sex” when talking about her favorite “Sex position”, and then she went on to brag that her position is “legs close shut”, waiting for the right one. Yeah, so what? You can give birth in the middle of all that. What’s the big deal?!

The Great Gatsby, and not so great remarks!

Did you know that you’re not special at all if you read “The Great Gatsby”?! No, no, don’t think highly of yourself, especially if you’re being told that by a person who hasn’t read it either. Talking about being entitled to an opinion.

If I post eleven times on Facebook, about not being on Facebook – it’s okay then!

The guy said that he’s spending less time on Facebook, and people jumped right at that post. They called him out for not telling the truth and pointed out that he had eleven posts the previous day. Okay, but how did they manage to notice it all? Seems like they’re all addicted to social media, more or less. To be fair – how dares he to pretend that he’s not?!

A well-planned catfish!

Now, the case of people using fake photos on their social media accounts is older than the sea. Chris is simply guilty of not executing the plan a little bit better. Okay, a lot better. Who cares if you’ll be caught in a lie, sooner or later?!

A person whose username is Biebersgurl4ever1 is, logically, not a Bieber fan!

Now and then, you can stumble upon people who decide to contradict their username. You’d normally think that the person listens to Metallica if the username is something like Metallica4ever. But no, you’d guess wrong. It’s the mind game nowadays, you put the things you hate in your username so that no one can track you on the web. That must be it!

It’s simply too much!

Let’s be honest, kids can barely understand what the world is, let alone experiencing it. And, what is wrong with having warm feet?!

Rory’s been a bad boy!

Imagine the conversation Rory had with his mom after she found out about all the nasty things he’s been posting online. But, seriously, the mom deserves applause for not sugarcoating her kid’s lies!

Not so fast!

A guy decided to post about being independent, and all that. Look, he even bought a car himself, parents didn’t have to spend a single dime. What a great kid! Right? Well, not quite. His mom doesn’t agree. Turns out parents bought him his first truck. Now, this opens a whole new discussion: is the truck a car?

Maybe it was the rich Harry Styles lookalike?

@bretthartzell I wasn't at the tigers game. Cool story though

You can’t lie on Twitter, especially not about famous people. And, if you’re going to lie anyway, at least makeup something believable.

Maybe he was saying goodbye to a non-vegan food regime!

Vegans don’t eat meat. Of any kind! Here’s the vegan who has lunch at Chipotle. Just to be clear, the meal was half chicken – half steak. What a peculiar vegan habit?

Some are ashamed of studying!

It somehow seems cool when your colleagues pass the exam, and it seems as if he hadn’t been studying at all. You know that’s not true, right? Good grades don’t simply fall off the sky.

This is wrong on so many levels!

If you’re going to lie to your friends, at least make sure that you don’t reveal your wrongdoings on Facebook. Especially not if your boss is on your friends list, and your lies involve him, too.

You’re prohibited to sunbathe if it’s not on a fancy beach!

Did you know that you don’t have to go on some fancy holiday to enjoy a nice, sunny day?! Sounds incredible, we know.

Yeah, who said it?

Posts like this can be offensive, but the lady stood up for herself. Seem like nobody’s going to like Wop in the end. He had it coming!

Filters are art?

You don’t have to paint to make a painting. Just use filters so that it looks like a painting. It’s the same thing. Maybe your filtered creation will end up at some museum, who knows? Such an effort has to be rewarded.

If you want to be a freeloader, be careful with social media!

This funny guy dared to ask for donations on Facebook, all because he allegedly lost his job. However, his lie was quickly discovered when his former employer said that he quit. From now on, don’t quit before you find another job.

“Brand new” can be interpreted in a lot of ways

The guy tried to sell sunglasses by describing them as “brand new”, and “never been worn”. It would all be fine if he wasn’t wearing the same sunglasses in his profile pic. Next time, cover your lies a bit better or sell your items honestly.

We can imagine Seth Rogen sending a “fart” DM to someone

I just got a DM from @Sethrogen and it just says “fart”. Tuesday’s are cool.

— KENNEDY JONES (@KennedyJonesTHO) August 15, 2018

If this was some kind of joke, well – it was a bad one. Kennedy Jones even tagged Rogen on Twitter. Maybe he expected that the famous actor would play along, and confirm it?! What a silly idea.
