If you’re going to lie, the internet is probably the worst place to do it. Others can easily check whether your story adds up and often have the screenshots to prove when it doesn’t. Once the truth comes out, there is usually no easy way to take it back.

We gathered some awkward and embarrassing screenshots of people getting caught lying and called out for it. Scroll down to see how their stories fell apart, and don’t forget to upvote the funniest ones.

    Al Gore did. His whole "an inconvenient truth" video was based on the assumption of a "collapse" of the Greenland ice sheet resulting in all these nations ending up underwater and a "flood of refugees" from Bangladesh into the USA. Nobody told him that this "collapse" was going to happen slowly over between 1,000 and 2,000 years. But then, Vice Presidents have never been famous for their high intelligence. As for Greta, fetal alcohol syndrome has been suggested, I have no idea if it's true.

    On a similar note, there’s this woman on YouTube. I’m fairly sure she steals other bakers’ content and adds her own voiceovers that describe stories made with AI. For example, one time she said a client told her a story that was heartening and begged her not to tell anyone. And the “baker” ended the video with “if I get enough like, I’ll share her story”. Also all the stories are so cringy and clickbait-y.
