If a pic of your crush, class friend, or one of the influencer divas looks too good to be true… you do the math. Because if there’s anything we know about pic-perfect shots on social media by now, it’s that a huge number of them are totally fake.
And as long as there are serial Photoshop offenders out there, the Instagram Reality subreddit will continue exposing their malicious deeds. Trust me, people out there are never running short of inspiration to face-tunefy and beautify their looks.
Below is the fresh batch of IG absurdity that must be seen to be believed. More eye-rub inducing snaps from Instagram vs. Reality can be found here, here, and here.

She Must Be On Tatooine With The Sun Both Behind And Ahead Of Her
Don't be too harsh. Maybe she's on another planet that has two suns. No? Not possible you say?
Spines Are Out Of Fashion. Pass It On
I tried to think of a pun, but it would've been spineless. Thank you, I'm here all week.
Previously, Bored Panda reached out to the redditor Cluelessnumber7, who’s the moderator of the r/InstagramReality community. The moderator explained the adverse effects all the heavily edited images have on people.
First, it sets unrealistic expectations that influencers purport to their easily impressionable audiences. “The amazingly smooth skin, suddenly common almond-shaped eyes, pouty lips, sharp jawlines, slim hourglass shapes, and so on," they commented.
Meanwhile, the viewers have no idea how long it took to pick the outfit, hunt down the perfect lighting, and many other little details that come before face-tuning every picture-perfect Insta look. Without discussing the use of editing apps such as Photoshop and Facetune, “there is now a countless amount of people comparing themselves to (and perhaps spending money to look like) a person who doesn’t exist," Cluelessnumber7 told us.

She looks like she just let out a big fart and isn’t sure if it’s going to be deadly and then it starts to stink up the room and hopes no one notices..
Hahaha this made me laugh way too hard! Thanks, needed that 🤣👍

It really is and then acting like she knows how to play 🙄

Wow... chess realy changed since I last played... are there new moves too?
I didn't even realize the order of the pieces when I saw she had two queens.
Might still be too difficult for her...tic tac toe maybe? Or POSSIBLY connect four, but that's pushing it

she didn’t even move a p**n to get to the queen... and the order of the pieces, smh this is just so dumb.
Sire! Sire! The peasants are revolting and our army is too confused to fight back.
I think that may be to complicated for her. How about tic tac toe?

So, white to move; I see two knights, two rooks, two bishops, a king, a queen, and eight pawns. I presume the queen she is holding is the king's second wife.
it's the intensity on her face. either she thinks she's about to lose, or someone has just yelled at her 'THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PLAY CHESS, YOU IDIOT!'
Looking at the emojis at the end maybe this is a joke, her expression suggests the same too?
Not hard to find the post. Just searched #jessiesofinstagram on IG and it is the 2nd post
That's not how you are meant to place the pieces! At least look it up on Google.
She playing her own special game with her own special rules, apparently!

I don't play chess but even I know that is not how the pieces are supposed to be positioned. Also, it looks like there are too many queens?
Is anybody going to notice how the TV seems to be balanced on a tiny stool
I don't play but even I can tell there's one too many pieces on the board, besides the alignment.
I don't know how to play chess, but even I can tell she has two queens.
The black pieces have 2 queens too! I think someone bought this chess set as a goof for her to look stupid when she posted the photo.

Of all the heinous errors on this board, the black p.a.w.n in place of a rook makes me the most uncomfortable.
BP censored your P A W N in your sentences too huh! LOL

She looks terrified, like deep down she knows what she's done lol
"Pretending to a chess player" [sic]? Does anyone proofread this stuff?
There’s one extra white piece in addition to them being in the wrong order.
I think a lot of people just click “like” bf looking at or read some people’s ig posts... just a bunch of following sheep.

I suppose it's hard to even set up the board right when you're so mashed on coke.
That's from the legit profile of a somewhat famous Bollywood actress... How did her social media team let this happen?!
I know a place where she may shove that extra queen. Or am I too harsh right now?
The irony of a chess match that gives white the privilege of an extra piece.
*smacks all chess pieces on floor* Lady, let a 15-year-old who plays chess show you how it's done. First, your-is that a queen? What? It can't go in front of a p**n. Stick to Candy Land, hon.
The second problem that hasn’t been addressed enough is the insecurities of the influencers who feel an urge to edit their pictures. “They’ve been editing their photos for so long it could mean losing the validation from their followers, losing followers, and maybe losing sponsors if they came clean.”
As huge crowds of followers become familiar with your fictional, yet perfect look, it may be impossible to speak out about all the editing that goes into creating their brand. “So, they would rather enjoy the false fame than risk losing it over integrity," the moderator concluded.

She is like Kloe Kardashian of Serbia. We all know how she really looks like but she is still using tone of facetunes and filters. Why people do that? Accept how you look like, it's fine.

Exposed During An Interview
Hmmmmmmmmm
No. No one who naturally has an ass like that has a waist like that, unless they’re wearing a very tight corset. Or they’ve had buttcheek injections, several ribs removed, and a load of liposuction. This just does not happen in nature. I know this because when I was her age, I had a booty too. But I had a 24 inch waist, not an 18 inch waist like this.

The Irony Of Using #curves When The Only Thing Curving Is The Furniture. (Thanks To This Thread I Notice It Everywhere Now!)
It's not entirely their fault. They're getting all those likes that they assume they're doing something right. It's a vicious circle that goes round and round. I wish people would understand that it's our personalities and our character that make us better people not our looks.
I agree, it's messed up but people know they are looking at something artificial. They are giving likes to cartoony looking people with photos that are clearly tinted and manipulated

I want to know who woke up one day and decided super sharp chin and humongous eyes are attractive?
You guys spend ALOT of time fixating on IG accounts...seems kind of trivial in the Grand Scheme of things. Are you out of material to heckle or???
If "curvy" is supposedly so beautiful nowadays, how come none of these people made themselves appear to be fatter?
Locally they do --- fat/weird lips, fat hips/weird butts, spherical boobs...
Load More Replies... Pretty sure that's Stella Vaudran and that's really how her body is shaped. She's always been thin.
That is sad that they want to look like a completely different person.
sure, they may be gross with facetune and photoshop, but death!?! nah....
