70 Times People Tried To Call Out Others For Lying Online, But Their Stories Were Actually True
Interview
We all know that we can’t trust everything we see on the internet. People have been known to exaggerate their experiences online just for clicks. And considering how rapidly AI technology has advanced, we should even be skeptical of videos that we see.
But taking things with a grain of salt doesn’t mean that we have to assume everything is a lie. After all, reality is often stranger than fiction! One community that knows this all too well is Nothing Ever Happens on Reddit. This group is dedicated to sharing posts from people who attempted to call out liars online. But actually, these stories are true! Enjoy scrolling through these amusing coincidences and fun anecdotes, and be sure to upvote the ones that you wouldn’t doubt for a second.

Seems Reasonable?
Roxy222uk 1 week ago
FFS, banning books is never the answer. Place stickers in the front warning readers that there’s a racist comment on page 76 or whatever, so they learn to spot stuff while they’re reading it (and can choose if they’re not in the head space to deal with it right then)
Krd 1 week ago
Exactly. Only books that should be banned are things like the Anarchists Cookbook. But even then, the information books like that contain should not be banned.

How does a country that talks a lot about free speech rationalise banning books?

When I was in high school, the voting age was dropped to 18. A few seniors ran for school board, and at least one was elected. The first matter was the dress code, particularly the ban on girls wearing trousers, in Minnesota winters. With the help of Child Protection, which went on record that sending children out to play in shorts was cause for investigation, the dress code was reduced to health and safety requirements, as all dress codes should be. May and September can be very hot Minnesota, and even now, many schools lack AC, so wearing shorts is reasonable.

He's right, the idiot probably wanted them banned due to race and name.
To find out more about the Nothing Ever Happens subreddit, we got in touch with one of the group's moderators, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda.
"The subreddit was created in direct response to r/thatHappened because of how often users would post stories there that were totally plausible or even verifiably true," the mod shared. "As for who created it, I’m not entirely sure. There was some confusing drama a while ago with the head mod."
"Other than that complicated week or so, it’s pretty quiet," they continued. "It’s been strange watching the sub blow up, as it was around 50k or so when I joined. Especially now, with few active mods, a bigger community means we deal with more spammers. The biggest problem we have is people spamming the 'nothing ever happens' chudjack memes, which have no relation to this sub and are connected to the /pol/ board on 4chan. Repost bots are the next biggest problem, but both have been manageable as of late."

Because People Can't Be Friendly Towards Each Other
Lady Eowyn 1 week ago
I'm Jewish. It doesn't offend me in the least if someone says Merry Christmas to me. Or greetings for any holiday. And I frequently say Merry Christmas. Except to my anti-semitic neighbor, to whom I always say Happy Hanukkah.
Norfolk and good 1 week ago (edited)
I know plenty of Muslim, Sikh, Hindu etc people who not only have no problem saying Merry Christmas, but also celebrate it themselves. Christmas is unavoidable when you live in a western country which has a Christian heritage (UK) so have taken the "if you can't beat them, join them" attitude. Likewise it's fairly common to see Happy Eid/Diwali cards and signs in the UK.

In that case, Happy Holidays. From an atheist who thinks that the best reason to say "Happy holidays" besides not knowing which holiday somebody celebrates is knowing they're offended if you say "Happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas'.

Exchanges like this really do happen. In Catholic high-school I was asked to be cantor for mass. I'm not religious, but have a great voice and had been taught all the songs. It was my first mass ever, and I was terrified to get up on the stage/pulpit/place where priests do their thing? The priest saw my fear and took me aside to ask what was wrong. "I'm an atheist, and have never done this before." His reply "Don't worry. I'll hold your hand. God loves you all the same, and they don't have to know." He did. It was awesome. Father O'Brian was a great dude.

"As for content moderation, I’m very hands off," the moderator told Bored Panda. "I think over moderation can quickly ruin a sub, plus this sub is very subjective in nature. People frequently post things I think are fake, but it’d really ruin the fun for everyone if I curated the sub to my own personal belief/disbelief."
"More importantly though, it’d just be way too much work. This is not a paid job, and I’m honestly confused how I ended up in charge of such a big sub," the user continued. "Removing a post or comment is effort that I just don’t care to make unless something is really bad. If someone’s just being a jerk, I usually give a 1-3 day ban. Once you start getting into straight up bigotry, it’s a permaban."

But the moderator added that they're only able to have such a hands-off approach because the users in this community are generally well behaved.

We don't need to lower the voting age, we need to impose term limits and have a maximum cutoff age for all elected officials.

Finally, we asked the creator why they believe so many people are eager to call out "fake" stories online.

Now, you might consider yourself to be an honest boy scout who would never tell a fib. But the truth is that most people lie, at least some of the time. According to a study from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, three-quarters of people keep their lies to a minimum, between zero and two each day. But the top 1% of liars are dishonest about 17 times on any given day.
Of course, people often find ways to justify their lies too. The most common reasons cited for lying were to avoid others, as a joke or prank, to protect one’s self, to impress someone else, to protect another person, for personal gain, or to benefit someone else. And supposedly, 90% of lies told are little white lies.

Makes no sense because there are things which are generally super bad in that situation like drinking alcohol, smoking or doing d***s. If you see that behavior you should definitely call it out. Which is true for anything that is harmful for a human being. If you see some people beat someone up you should also try to help, at minimum by calling police/ambulance whatever if you can't step in your self.

When it comes to lying on the internet specifically, research published in Computers in Human Behavior found that nearly a third of people are always honest on social media.

Apparently, our own behavior also impacts how we view other people’s behavior online. For example, if you always tell the truth on social media and dating apps, you’re more likely to assume that others will do the same. But if you tend to fabricate stories or stretch the truth, you’ll be skeptical of what others tell you. And the most common thing that people lie about is their appearance. But this isn’t surprising, as a whopping 90% of people surveyed said they expect others to lie about how they look.

My local grocery store, part of a very large chain, hires, (jeez, what's the correct PC word for Down Syndrome people these days) as baggers and cart fetchers. They are very conscientious about bagging things carefully and take pride in doing it right. And they remember everyone who was ever nice or polite to them.

That's how I'd pack. What's the point of buying bread if you're going to stick five bottles of milk on top, or whatever? It's a lesson a certain internet-shopping-place-beginning-with-an-A could do with learning.

My mum is usually unbiased about everything, but for some reason she struggles to believe the male checkout staff will pack the bags right, despite them getting the same training as the females.

I got married on the beach in San Diego. It was spontaneous (we'd had the license for a while, but hadn't really planned anything yet) and we asked a couple of hardcore looking bikers to be our witnesses. Made for VERY interesting photos, and they were absolute sweethearts.
If something crazy happens to you, your first impulse might be to tweet about it or share a video on TikTok detailing your experience. But you have to understand that not everyone will take your word as gospel. Is it worth the risk of being called a liar, even if you’re telling the truth? You might want to have some receipts to back up your story. And if anyone calls you out, well, you can call them out right back in the Nothing Ever Happens group.

this one is pretty easy to believe, especially since it is similar to what happened to me. i had only ever seen avocado trees on farms before, so i always thought that they grew like an orange tree, about 10 feet tall. turns out wild avocado trees are much larger. i had no idea the 65 foot tall tree in my backyard was an avocado tree until i would hear loud thuds on the roof at night and what sounded like something running down the roof and jumping into the yard. turns out it was over ripe, 2 pound avocados dropping onto and rolling off my roof. took a good 6 months for me to understand what was going on because whenever id go look for the source of the noise all the avocado guts would be already eaten by the squirrels in the yard. so i would find these weird wood balls on the ground, turns out they were huge avocado pits. i now have 6 avo trees in the yard.

If the school won't allow the child to eat the meal that was packed, then it is the school's responsibility to provide healthy food that the child will eat and at their own expense. This garbage where they won't allow kids to eat what their parents sent with them, but then either make them go hungry or charge the parents for an alternative lunch is insane.

If you’re going to give children group project then you need to build up the skills with them to work together. Just chucking them together and expecting them to teach each other the skills is just ludicrous.

Yup. Group projects are best done alone; otherwise there's one that does the work, one that messes everything up, one that questions everything, and two or three who would rather doodle ducks than pay any attention to the project. The only thing group projects are good for is life lessons about how cow-orkers will scrêw you and why you should do your best work by yourself and for yourself.

I can attest to the cuteness factor; and I love any teacher who still sees it after a day shepherding these little learners. I've worked hard my whole life--very hard--but teachers work harder every day than the hardest day I've ever worked. Thank you, teachers everywhere.

When I taught, the mornings were my favorite because all the little ones coming in would have something to tell you. Whether it was what cereal they had for breakfast, that they picked out their clothes all on their own (sometimes this was very obvious), what funny thing the dog did, or even what mommy was yelling about last night ... it was always fun to hear their stories. I miss it so.

I'm having flashbacks of the time CBS reported on a letter from the early 1970s purporting to show that George W Bush used special favors to get out of going to Vietnam. The letter had a proportional-space font and broke lines in such a way as to show the text was repositioned to the next line when a word went too long. The network's defenders tried to argue that there were typewriters capable of that... as if an officer would use a publishing took worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to write such a letter.... and carefully and perfectly estimate where line breaks would be necessary.
