I'm fine. What are you talking about, you do not look fat in those jeans. I'll give you a call.

We lie all the time. And we get away with it quite often, too. But some folks push their made-up narrative so far, it's hard to imagine anyone actually believing them.

So they end up on the subreddit r/thatHappened. Its members share evidence of "people telling outrageous tall tales that would make Walter Mitty proud" and they have compiled quite the archive since the creation of this online community in 2012.

Here are some of its best gems.

Sometimes people lie just to inflate their image—some think this motivation is the reason behind President Donald Trump's demonstrably false statement that his Inauguration crowd was bigger than President Barack Obama's first one. But people also lie to cover up bad behavior, as American swimmer Ryan Lochte did during the 2016 Summer Olympics by claiming to have been robbed at gunpoint at a gas station when, in fact, he and his teammates, drunk after a party, had been confronted by armed security guards after damaging property.

We can find similar examples even in fields that are dedicated to the search for eternal truth. And one doesn't have to look far, either. Take the physicist Jan Hendrik Schön, for example, whose purported breakthroughs in molecular semiconductor research proved to be fraudulent.

Lying is something many of us are very good at. We do it while interacting with strangers, co-workers, friends, and loved ones. Turns out, our capacity for dishonesty is as fundamental to us as our need to trust others, which ironically makes us terrible at detecting lies. Being deceitful is woven into us, so much so that it would be truthful to say that to lie is human.

The ubiquity of lying was first documented systematically two decades ago by Bella DePaulo, a social psychologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. DePaulo and her colleagues asked 147 adults to jot down for a week every instance they tried to mislead someone. The researchers discovered that the subjects lied on average one or two times a day. Most of these untruths were innocuous, intended to hide one's inadequacies or to protect the feelings of others. Some lies were excuses (one subject blamed the failure to take out the garbage on not knowing where it needed to go). Yet other lies, such as a claim of being a diplomat's son, were aimed at presenting a false image. While these were minor transgressions, a later study by DePaulo and other colleagues involving a similar sample indicated that most people have, at some point, told one or more "serious lies", like hiding an affair from a spouse, or making false claims on a college application.

Researchers suggest that lying as a behavior arose pretty soon after the emergence of language. The ability to manipulate others without using physical force likely conferred an advantage in the competition for resources and mates, akin to the evolution of deceptive strategies in the animal kingdom, such as camouflage.

"Lying is so easy compared to other ways of gaining power," Sissela Bok, an ethicist at Harvard University who's one of the most prominent thinkers on the subject, told Nat Geo. "It's much easier to lie in order to get somebody's money or wealth than to hit them over the head or rob a bank.

"Experts are learning that we're prone to believe some lies even when they're easily contradicted by clear evidence. These insights suggest that our proclivity for deceiving others, and our vulnerability to being deceived, are especially consequential in the age of social media.

So in the case of r/ThatHappened, it's nice to see that we can still retain our ability to distinguish truth from fiction.

An FYI: If you put oil into a bloodstream, if it's olive oil or essential oil or motor oil, you are essentially creating a fat embolism (technically, an "oil" emoblism.) You get lucky, it just lodges in your lung. You don't, well, CPR won't help.

Oh my, no. It won't create a fat embolism. It will poison you way before that. But if it did cause an embolous, it would kill you if it went to your lung, your brain or your heart.

No. Most who sell 'em sell 'em for the uses I use ----- aromas that repel pests or that soothe PTSD/anxiety. And it's only gonna work if you find a scented oil to dab on your Panic Plushie that *does* bring you out of panic attacks, flashbacks, anxiety, tec. (I've run through so many.) Scent is powerful. What they think that is wrong is that you rub these on like hand lotion and it's poof! All cured. No. If you look at practitioners following reallllly old traditions, they will put on someone the amount of oil that you can find on the end of a toothpick, or dilute it down till it's one drop oil in 1 liter other-oil. (Grapeseed, olive, whatever.) Honestly, it's fascinating and frustrating at the same time. But a couple Ponzi-scheme-like essential oil companies got big and spread the stupid and here we are. *sigh*

No. No. No, and finally, no. They would not let you anywhere near that drip. It would not happen next day. It would have because of chemo if it happened. And they would not call you to tell you it was because of the oils you put in there. They would just ask to meet you, kill you to keep it secret, and go on charging hundreds of thousands to treat the cancer. Wake the he'll up. This is America. We don't cure for one time fee when we can treat for many many expensive sessions.

Doctors allow you to put whatever you want into a person's iv bag all the time. It's just good medicine and why they pay for malpractice insurance.

As someone who has recently lost their grandmother to cancer, F**K. OFF. God, Is it bad of me to actually wish this person gets cancer? Just to see how helpful their bullshit oils actually are. e_e

The doctors allowed her to put lavender oil in the drip? The doctors did that. It should have ended with "Then the pathologist doing the autopsy remarked 'she may be dead, but do you smell the lavender?'"

And of course, those doctors never told any other doctors, didn't start experimenting with it and didn't make it world wide news, because curing cancer so quickly isn't special and important to the world at all
