In the current state of the internet, it is very difficult to tell what is the truth. This is why many websites now have built-in fact-checkers to verify the information being shared online, particularly on Twitter. We now live in a current state of affairs where the truth is often misrepresented and misinformation spreads like wildfire. However, there can be some cases where telling the truth can often turn out horribly, or even hilariously misunderstood.

Reddit's /r/technicallythetruth is a subreddit that marvels at the hilarity of taking things a bit too literally. Sometimes, you can miss the mark entirely by seeing things at face value, which is why it's important to know that things can be a bit more nuanced in the real world than you might think. This collection has a multitude of examples of people taking things too literally, or hilariously missing the mark. While sometimes intentional, you can't argue that it ends up being quite funny either way.
