It turns out there are a lot of liars online. Who would have guessed? It's honestly kind of impressive what sorts of things people will try and get away with, from writing articles on completely made-up subjects to trying to publicly praise their own comments on Reddit while claiming to be someone else. It's embarrassing to see, and when someone calls them out for it, it's pretty entertaining for the rest of us to watch the drama unfold.

It's pretty easy to verify things like this in the modern day. All it takes is a quick google search or a look back on someone's post history. Or just common sense, honestly. Some are obvious, and some are more difficult to spot, but all of these posts contain lies caught by the people at /r/quityourbullsh*t. Here are some of our favorite times people needed a reality check after posting something stupid.
