Screenshots Of People’s Nonesense Being Called Out

Plant-Based Hoax

Here’s another instance of a bogus Facebook infographic being shared thousands of times online. These images apparently show an individual’s cancer cells shrinking after two weeks of a plant-based diet.

Not only does the original poster provide no scientific evidence to back up their claim, but they have also used fake images. Thankfully, a scientist commenter managed to spot the spot and clear up the misleading information being spread. This is why the internet can be a truly toxic place.

Captain Marvel Claps Back

The Marvel cinematic universe has legions of dedicated fans across the globe. The MCU diehards often follow update pages on Twitter, to stay in the loop with all things Avengers. One such fan page failed to fact-check their tweet when they claimed that actress Brie Larsen had signed a contract for a seven-film deal to portray Captain Marvel in the MCU.

Brie doesn’t suffer fools, though. She quoted the tweet and simply said, “Counterpoint: this is not true.”

Starbucks Know How to Roast

This screenshot sums up the importance of doing your research before you drag anyone on Twitter. This user ended up with egg on his face after accusing Starbucks of neglecting to hire veterans. They quickly responded, informing him that the company had actually hired over 8,000 veterans and had pledged to hire 10,000 by 2018.

We can only imagine how many sassy memes/GIFs were posted in response to the thread. Coffee beans aren’t the only things Starbucks can roast!

Conspiracy Theories Galore

The World Wide Web is the perfect breeding ground for conspiracy theories. People can post whatever they want, whenever they want, with little to no regulation. One Facebook user decided to share a meme claiming that a plane didn’t actually hit the pentagon on September 11th, 2001.

In these screenshots, one sarcastic commenter had the perfect reply. They explained how every plane journey they’ve taken has culminated in a landing. Planes are capable of touching the ground, duh.

The Magic Of The Internet

Imgur is a popular photo-sharing platform intended to showcase ‘the magic of the internet.’ This post may not showcase the ‘magic’ of the web, but rather the idiocy that can be encountered. One user shared a GIF, which apparently showed a disgruntled employee crushing their boss’ car after being refused pay.

They were proven wrong when another person commented, pointing out that the image was actually taken from a viral marketing campaign for a car insurance company—Oopsy daisy.

Disney Art Thief

If you love to see internet art thieves being caught out, you’ll love these screenshots. One commenter posted an adorable image of a Disney princess in front of her laptop, to show off the fact that they had been accepted into the Disney College Program.

However, their bubble was burst when another user commented that the image was actually their own. The OP had taken their illustration and used it without credit, ultimately passing it off as their own.

A Sticky Situation

Some dudes will go to great lengths to impress girls. This guy seems to have gotten himself into a pretty sticky situation! He sent a message to a potential girlfriend on WhatsApp, saying that he had gotten into a fight after sticking up for her in front of some other guys.

He attached a message of his face covered in what was supposed to resemble blood. He clearly didn’t think things through, as the girl simply replied, “that is strawberry jam.”

Lying For Attention

While some of the items on this list have been harmless, other screenshots show more serious hoaxes. This YouTube comment was left under a video reporting a tragic bombing in Oklahoma. It’s clear that the original poster wanted to gain attention from a real-life tragedy, and they had claimed that a loved one had died in the incident.

Thankfully, another user stepped in to expose their lies, as no one named Brenden had been a victim of the incident.

Exposing Her Sister’s Lies

When your sibling is acting ridiculous, it’s natural to want to call them out on their nonsense. That’s what siblings are for, after all! One Twitter user was fed up with her sister’s antics. She had been posing for Instagram photos in their backyard while bragging about going on a nature hike.

These screenshots show side-by-side comparisons of the Instagram photo and another angle that shows the culprit standing in the yard. Sister has fooled no one!

Terminated!

For years, Arnold Schwarzenegger has partnered with the Special Olympics. This organization helps give those with mental challenges and disabilities confidence and showcases their athletic abilities.

So, when this guy started talking nonsense about the Olympics, the Terminator got on social media and put him in his place. And he did it in such a way that, much like the initial comment, definitely was going to leave a mark on the guy’s confidence.

Genius Model

When they look at models walking down the runway, many people automatically assume that these women have no education. But, the truth is that many of them are well-educated and very intelligent women.

These people clearly felt that this fact was a bunch of fake news, but then the actual model hopped on social media to clap back. To do so, she just started listing off her accomplishments and shut down the nonsense in no time.
