In the age of the camera, we have all seemingly become more skeptical than many of our ancestors. After all, people lie for clout, photoshop images and now even employ AI to create entirely fake scenarios. 

The “Pics Or It Didn’t Happen” Facebook group is dedicated to moments that would sound made up if there wasn’t photographic evidence. We also got in touch with Morten Repsdorph Husfeldt, one of the founders of the group to learn more. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts and experiences in the comments section below.

Orangutan reaching out to a man stuck in muddy water in a dense forest, showing a rare moment of animal-human interaction.

Two years ago CNN released a photo taken by the photographer Anil Prabhakar in the forest in Indonesia. The image shows an orangutan, currently under threat of extinction, while stretching out his hand to help a geologist who fell into a mud pool during his search. When the photographer uploaded the photo, he wrote this as a caption: “In a time when the concept of humanity dies, animals lead us to the principles of humanity.”

    Woman in pink winter gear at the South Pole holding a sandwich to prove a hard-to-believe achievement with evidence.

    In 2016 Jade Hameister became the youngest person to ever ski to the North Pole. After achieving this incredible feat Hamesiter gave a TEDX Talk, there were a number of misogynistic comments on the video of her talk, including “make me a sandwich”. Two years later in 2018 Jade became the youngest person to achieve a polar hat-trick, having reached both the North and South poles as well as crossing Greenland. On her South Pole Trek which she completed on January 10 2018 she posted to her social media this photo of her with the sandwich and wrote: “Tonight (it never gets dark this time of year) I skied back to the Pole again... to take this photo for all those men who commented, 'Make me a sandwich', on my TEDX Talk. I made you a sandwich (ham & cheese), now ski 37 days and 600km to the South Pole and you can eat it [intimacy]," [via smh Image via X the_female_lead] Story from The Female Athlete Stor

    Ancient hollow tree with moss and stairs in a dense forest, a surreal sight hard to believe without evidence.

    Takeo's Okusu Tree ✨ Over 3000 years old, this camphor tree is the 7th largest tree in Japan.

Inside is a gaping cavity with an area of 12 tatami mats, which houses a stone shrine deep within.
