Whether they crave internet points or run out of arguments in a heated discussion, some people BS way too much. But the overwhelming amount of lies shouldn't discourage us from calling them out. On the contrary. Think of it as herd immunity: the population is protected from a disease (a fake narrative) after vaccination (a response) by stopping the germ responsible for the infection being transmitted between people (destroying that absurd fantasy with facts).
There's even a whole subreddit dedicated to this noble quest, /r/quityourbullshit. With over 1.3M members, it accumulated a large collection of screenshots and images of people calling out BS, delivering burns so big, they might just set your screen on fire.

Girl Exposes BS Account Using Her Pictures To Sell Their Product
There are so many of these. I play games on my tab and I have to watch ads to get gems sometimes and some of the ads are straight up stealing from TV and youtube videos, sometimes even peoples vlogs... there was one for weight loss that had obviously stolen from a plus size beauty youtuber just trying on outfits for fun, and they put all sorts of awful captions over it... I report the ads but there's always new ones almost every day, its crazy.
Load More Replies...And that girl is nowhere near that big in the before picture.
Load More Replies...Can you make legal claims against something like this? False advertising, fraud, stealing your intellectual property (the pics)?
same thought! i think that would be most appropriate!
Load More Replies...I wish I looked as good as the 'before'! That is nowhere near 200 pounds!
Ummmm.... The only way you're losing 251 lbs in 6 weeks is if your corpse has been drying out in the desert, picked away by exceptionally hungry scavengers
Also, between picture 1 and 2, if she’d lost 251 pounds, she’d have evaporated.
and if she lost 251 pounds, she would have completely disappeared, clothing and all.
She looks like she would have gone into the negatives.
Load More Replies...The woman in the first picture is no where near 251 pounds so it impossible she lost that much.
Not only did they steal her pics, but that’s definitely not a loss of 251lbs!
Good to see what 251 pounds looks like.... I must need to lose a metric ton.
I doubt she even weighed that much to begin with I mean she's not even that big and I'm 140ish and rather tall for a girl (although I'm not very big either) so maybe she weighed that much to maybe 150? Definitely and absolutely not more than 160, let alone 251. AND it doesn't say she WAS that heavy-- it says she LOST that many pounds!
Actually now that I looked at the picture more I doubt she was even my weight lol. She's already pretty slim in the first pic but she's wearing a baggy shirt so it's hard to tell at first.
Load More Replies...This is especially bad because she lost weight with hard work and willpower and the ad claims she just drank some random thing from the internet.
Once you put it on the internet it has no expiration date . Oh c**p ....
And if the person on the left lost 251 pounds, they would weight about -50 pounds. Whoever posted this has no idea what someone with 251 pounds to lose looks like (from someone who needs to lose 70 pounds that looks much fatter than the left picture)
Read the EULA for every app you upload your photos to. YOU GAVE THEM PERMISSION TO DO EXACTLY THIS! bwaahahahahahahaha. Don't like it, you MIGHT be able to get them for false advertising, but you DEFINITELY can't get them for unlicensed use.
At least she legitimately lost weight—-though, let me emphasize, not at all on the supplement her pictures were stolen to advertise—-and her After picture isn’t a photoshop crop.
She was a pretty girl and not that big. Actually not even remotely big. As a matter of fact, she's just curvy. I am 6'2 220, can I start calling myself curvy instead of husky? If not curvy, can I go with stable?
Lol who down voted paying a girl a compliment? I guess in addition to fat shaming, we can't compliment people anymore? F*****g morons.
Load More Replies...According to the FTC: Dec 12, 2000 - The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive advertising in any medium. That is, advertising must tell the truth and not mislead consumers. A claim can be misleading if relevant information is left out or if the claim implies something that's not true. She should be able to sue them for misrepresentation and false claims by using her "likeness."
Man, she looks too skinny to be healthy. I can see her rib cage. I hope she gets better.

This is just a collection of stupidities, and there are many of them indeed. However, please, remember social media and the world is much bigger than this. (This is supposed to be an optimistic comment, btw. But take it as you will ♥)
Daria B- I enjoyed your comment and knew that you meant it to be optimistic. Please ignore the bitter troll who thought to act as your English professor. The lack of understanding lies not in your comment but in her lack of comprehension and empathy.
Load More Replies...While it is easy to dismantle most lies noawadays, it has become so easy to create them. And sensationalist sharing seemingly legitimates them. The only cure is to be vigilant. And to punish those who spread lies with no further attention. Imagine everyone doing it... Populists and their media appearances would disappear in no time.
Wait! I went through the entire set of 40 - no bananas like in the lead-in photo on the main page of BoredPanda. Or did I just miss a hidden call-BS moment?

Load More Replies...Having to lie on social media already shows that some of these people have some serious issues and then the extent some go to to lie is a problem in and of itself. If you are anti vaxxer that is your choice, but please stop using debunked information to justify your stance. Claiming certain political views is fine, but know what you are talking about before you start ranting. My point is no matter how you believe there is a right and a wrong way to express your opinion.
Yes, Buster, (from Arthur) people *do* sometimes just go on the Internet and tell lies.
With all the "article 13" and stuff comming up, can someone implement a "fact checker filter" that sorts out such b******t before it goes online? Nah, just kidding. I don't want ony of that. Freedom of speech and stuff... at least it may deliver a good laugh with such dumb posts.
It should not be freedom of speech if it knowingly causes harm to the general public. Try yelling "fire" in a movie theater.
