Some things should be banned. Nah, I’m not talkin’ cheeseburgers in vending machines, white Nutella, or Nickelback. But throwing BS around like it's no big deal should be against the law.
Since that’s not the case, some unsung heroes have done everyone a public service and are calling out that BS, whether big or small. There’s even the whole subreddit community r/quityourbulls**t dedicated to documenting their deeds and sharing the screenshots that prove we live in a world with that much less BS.
This time, we’re looking at the best BS callouts of the year that delivered the burn straight to the target. Because let’s face it, 2020 has been too much already, and if there’s anything we can’t handle anymore, it’s people talking nonsense while we work our way to survival.
And for more screenshots of making BS extinct, be sure to check out our part 1.

Getting Second Hand Embarrassment On This One
Wear A Damn Mask
Jacob Wohl Has Never Been One For The Truth
The Reddit community Quit Your B*****it, which shares screenshots of people calling out BS, was created in 2013 and has since amassed a whopping 1.5 million members.
On August 19th, 2013, one redditor titled GreenMagine shared a Facebook conversation in which someone was accused of lying about their engagement. The post has received more than 3,000 points (96% upvoted) and 400 comments in a little over six years. That day, another Reddit user menderslan stated that they "wish there was a whole subreddit for this, like r/quityourbullshit or something." The rest was history.
Meanwhile, r/Quit Your B*****it rose to fame in March 2017 when it made one of its earliest popular posts when someone shared a post by Arnold Schwarzenegger responding to a troll who criticized the Special Olympics. Over three years, it got 41,000 points and 950 comments.The community is still active to this day, calling out any type of lies, fake news, and plain nonsense which happens all too often these days.

It's actually the Scottish who have the highest proportion of ginger-haired people (just in case you didn't know).
As an irish person, they don't even look that irish, and the area around doesn't either..
And I will lay $5 on the table that those are Brabant horses a breed from Belgium but old and in that whole mix of Netherlands/Belgium turf battle.
I have visited rural Ireland more than once (I'm English) and I saw a lot of people with porcelain skin, black hair, and blue eyes, but what I would think was an average amount of red heads. I've never understood why the US is obsessed that red hair is specifically an Irish thing.
these girls are freaking gorgeous though T_T This is exactly why I want red hair so bad ffs
No, Frisians are deep black, look more like Belgian Horses to me

This is one of the reasons I love being a paralegal. I wound up having to actually sue a former landlord because we found out the septic system had been broken since before we moved in and we were living for months with raw sewage in our yard and seeping through our walls. But it comes in handy all the time for less dramatic stuff.

And here we have an example of how both sides of the divide are being bombarded with fake cr*p. And how I often see examples of the right side of the divide sharing fake news but don't see examples like this where it's being shared by the left side: my algorithms must show me only what reinforces my views And nothing to challenge them. Can't I just have no algorithm and get random selections from all views?)

Quit Your Anti-Streaming BS
When you are completely factoring out the energy it takes to get the data to all the customers through switches, repeaters, routers and modems, and the energy that all the devices use to show that movie, that's a fairly accurate calculation based on the false assumption that Netflix can serve multiple customers at 1 cent an hour.

Why Do People Always Believe BS More When It's A Picture Of A Highlighted Newsclipping?
Unpopular opinion but It does taste highly processed to me and I wonder about the carbon footprint of soy fields. They are not great. Humans seem to replace one problem (methane) with another bigger one... I'd rather eat my veggie mushroom patty or plant more trees than eat imitation meat.

It’s not uncommon for the person who writes the headliner to be a different person then the journalist who wrote the article. Generally only small, indie magazines have the author of the article also the headliner guy. Then, when you get a Facebook comment that’s about a headliner that’s about an article, that’s where you really get a bad case of Chinese Whispers!

Raid: Shadow Legends Trying To Claim They Don't Pay People To Advertise Their Product
It's pathetic when companies deny their practices when there's proof out there of the opposite. It's just like Blizzard games claiming that they are completely unbiased when it comes to political views and next they ban players who have spoken against Chinese practices regarding human rights or oppressing the Uighurs.

People Died, Karen
Facts never convinced anti-vaxxer, flatearther or any other conspiracy theorist that they are wrong.
Plain And Simple
They even tested this one on Mythbusters (well okay, it was Chinese Water Torture, but similar principle). The guy who was allowed to just lie there and leave at any time was fine. The other person, who was chained up and unable to move, became extremely distressed almost right away and actually started sobbing in panic before they hastily ended it. It's never just the water. It's about making the victim feel terrified and helpless.
