30 Screenshots Of People Who Caught Others Shamelessly Spreading Lies On The Internet And Stepped In To Shut Them Up
There’s only so much nonsense one person can handle. And just because the internet is not guarded by BS-detecting police, that doesn’t mean one can share it without hesitation. Especially if it misinforms, spreads fakery, or takes advantage of a situation.
The corner of the subreddit “Quit Your Bull,” which is home to 1.6 million members, is dedicated to collecting such bittersweet examples. From Elon Musk busting his alleged “brain coach” to the American Kennel Club calling out a false ad that claims that a particular type of dog breed is recognized as dangerous by AKC, these are some of the screenshots that got karma restored.
And next time someone claims you can say whatever you want online, tell them to try and see what happens. Hint: nothing good will ever come of this.

Someone Is Awfully Busy With So Many Careers!
And even then, this person had to come up with working 72 hours a week (which is highly illegal), to make the numbers work :'). Just sad.
Exactly -- everyone can live on minimum wage if only they work nonstop.

Besides, If a boss can't pay a proper living wage then he deserves to go out of business because you can't run a business when you sack the staff
You must always keep track of your lies, so you do not contradict yourself... Or just don't lie, it works too.
And also... they haven't raised the minimum wage, so why is the boss firing him?
That's pretty common, actually. When Obamacare was enacted, businesses began rapidly shedding workers before it could take effect. Its a shyte thing to do.

I had a discussion with someone who said they survive just fine on minimum wage. They couldn't understand why other people couldn't. Their income was 40 hours minimum wage...PLUS 1400 a month from trust funds.
Well if we all had a substantial trust fund to live off sure a lot of us could probably make it!

The real question I have is: why is it deemed societally acceptable to pay an undocumanted immigrant less than we have deemed unethical to pay a citizen. Seems...hypocritical.
I don't find it acceptable, but the reason is that US Laws only protect you if you are a US Citizen.

I knew a person living on minimum wage. He was very thrifty and housing was not expensive in the town he lived in. I suspect though, he worked 12 hour days.
What kind of arsehole thinks working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for minimum wage is an acceptable way to live?
I thought I knew not to trust internet comments. I keep thinking I know, then get reminded by things like this. You could literally make tons of "people" arguing for or against whatever cause you wanted, even have some of both if you needed to... I bet it's not even that difficult.
Who wouldn't know this was a lie. We still live in a 49 hour work week regardless of the minimum wage per hour. ANYTHING over 40 is Time and a half. So that 32 hours of 16.75 = 568 alone.
Anything over 40 hours a week would be paid time and a half in most areas, so the math would be quite different.
I grade this student's fiction story C- for not keeping details straight. When you're famous like Clive Kunstler you can ignore details, honey.
Didn't consider creating multiple accounts with different names not connected to each other. Not the brightest pencil in the box.
Aside from the lies, working 72 hours a week is not living. It's surviving. It's not living if you work so much you never get to enjoy life.
Hopefully something bad happened to that person. Fück that person. The conservatives love to be intellectually dishonest
"Burn" doesn't quite describe this slam. He got "NUKED" might not even be harsh enough.
There is calling someone out, then there calling someone out with their own crap! Expert level skills!
Who knew that all of those individual things add up to one big role; a liar?

Nobody was born BS-proof. We've all lied, said nonsense, regretted it, or maybe not. Sometimes the nonsense we shared did no harm to us or people around, and sometimes it really paid off. Like, white lies. These incredible little lies hold half honesty, half false chaos that spins the world around us.
It's a whole different story when we encounter serious lies. Like anti-vaxxers spreading false beliefs against Covid vaccinations on social media. In such cases, a lie targets the most vulnerable people of society who, for the lack of better information, find themselves in genuine belief that what they’re reading is pure truth.
Bored Panda reached out to Scott Berkun, the author of eight popular books on creativity, design, leadership and public speaking who was happy to share his insights on dealing with someone else’s BS. According to him, the first thing to tackle it is to expect it. “Fire alarms are good at detecting fires because they are always expecting them. We say some people have good BS detectors for the same reason. They’ve seen it enough times to sense it before the rest of us do.”

Scott believes that it’s not hard, but “it just means you need the habit of asking good questions before you accept what you see or hear. And learning what sources to trust more than others.”
Due to the rise of social media fake news, bogus claims, and lies, both little and big, seem to be spreading faster than ever. “Someday we will learn that technology accelerates everything, the good and the bad. Today is not that day. 300 years ago Jonathan Swift wrote that “Falsehood flies and the Truth comes limping after it” but everyone at Facebook at Twitter seems to have only recently figured this out.”
According to Scott, “Everyone should be taught media literacy like this.” Meanwhile, many seem to struggle to find ways to politely tell a person to quit their nonsense. Scott suggests “asking “how do you know what you know?” as it often does the job.” “It sets you up to say ‘Thanks, but I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.’”

Disgusting people with their disgusting lies. It's a good thing these people never quite bothered to improved their minds to be capable of better lies.
On the other hand, “Sometimes it works to your advantage to keep quiet and let them think you don’t realize they are full of BS. You may learn more about them and their real intentions than calling them out,” the book author concluded.

How do people think that they can snatch a random pick from the internet, pretend it's them and not get caught out on their nonsense? Honestly, time and time again people confront those idiots with their obvious lies and yet there's a new moron every day trying it again.

The current culture of seeking approval and praise from strangers really need to stop. It has been so toxic to the point I think these people are addicted to it.
The culture isn't new... it has always been around. The difference is people like that have a larger potential audience now.

This is why cats (and dogs, if you're a dog person. I'm a cat person) are way better than humans
Like the time my brother said something about "the mean streets where I was raised" and I reminded him that he was born into a middle class family and literally never had to go without anything and the closest he ever got to "the streets" was when he would go running out to wave at the trash truck.
I wonder how many of these posts were actually posted by real people, rather than by trolls and bots designed to spread misinformation
The neurotic and pathetic people in our society bothers me . I certainly have had my share of embarrassing ups and downs but this is truly just sad. It makes me feel like the nuclear family is not only gone but deaf dumb stupid and slow and in top of that apathetic to whatever goes on in these people's minds that is making them so sad and insecure with being themselves. I laughed but really this is sad.
I sure wish whether you are for or against masks that people would leave businesses out of it... they're struggling to get by like everyone else. The businesses are also subject to whatever law the state passes, so... you're screwing the wrong people.
People will do anything for likes. It’s kind of pathetic. Maybe I’m missing something. Do likes pay your rent? Do they get you a boyfriend? Do they suddenly make you cooler irl?
I find it interesting for the majority of these posts, you never see a response from the OP....
