Too many people seem to assume that lying on the internet from behind the comfort of a keyboard somehow protects them from getting caught spreading BS. On the contrary, it only takes a few clicks to debunk some sus information, and thanks to reverse image search, it's pretty hard to get away with taking credit for an image just for the upvotes. Egregious liars are extremely cringe, but there is a silver lining—we get to experience the satisfaction of watching these dumbasses get called out. We've collected some brutal screenshots exposing internet liars and their brazen BS. 

Ever see a meme or tweet that manages to spit truth in the most roundabout way possible? Well, r/technicallythetruth is filled with funny tidbits that do just that. From punny yet accurate memes, to humorously observant tweets, this gallery gives you ample and amusing opportunities to say "Well, they've got a point."  

If you're a natural overthinker whose anxiety borders on obsession, you've probably been the subject of ridicule among reckless loved ones who treat life like it's a damn toy. Well get ready for some major validation, because this thread of worrywarts is full of stories about all the times being an anxious overthinker actually paid off. Of course, we're not encouraging irrational 'what-if' thoughts that stem from anxiety, we just think that sometimes it's okay to trust your instincts, even when everyone around you thinks you're being ridiculous. 

It's easy to become blinded with positivity and optimism. It's also easy to have to eat your words after celebrating something prematurely. This kind of twist often applies to overly confident sports fans or a brand that doesn't have the foresight to make realistic claims about their product. these situations, while sometimes depressing, are a very satisfying and relatively harmless type of schadenfreude. And they're painstakingly documented in the r/Prematurecelebration. We've put together some of the funniest examples of the facepalm-y moments here for your convenient perusal. They're a good reminder to not count your chickens before they hatch.

It's not a great sign if a marriage is a big headache before it's even official. Redditor u/AITAemasculatormaybe asked the internet whether or not she was the a-hole for standing up for herself at a family dinner after her future mother-in-law called her a gold digger. Many indignant redditors in the thread agreed that OP was totally in the right. Hopefully this couple figured out how to set boundaries with the presumptuous in-laws. 

It's a pretty thrilling time for gaming. GPU tech is out of control, more people are playing with each other online and gaming in general has never been more mainstream. What was once a controversial form of entertainment supposedly poisoning the youth with violent imagery is now a widely accepted medium used not only for amusement, but communication and education as well. It's fascinating to think about how we might further incorporate gaming into our lives in the future. Until then, we're gonna keep scrolling through these funny gaming memes between Halo games. 

Pretty much everyone loves a good joke. And the internet is chock full of 'em. Netizens frequently use memes and comments to exercise their wit and sarcasm. But sometimes people will take these jokes too literally, or just don't get them at all. When they feel the need to express this in a public comment, their stupidity is often funnier than the gag itself. The subreddit r/woooosh is a place for people to share these unintentionally hilarious moments. It's a page that we could scroll for hours. To save you from that time-consuming procrastination hole, we've put together some of their latest and greatest posts. If you need more, you can dive right into our other lists here and here.

Men are often deemed a mystery by women, and even some other men. They get a reputation for being cold or emotionless, quiet or unfeeling. Redditor u/RiceWota has managed to challenge these notions. By asking the men of Reddit to share the most difficult things to express to women, the Reddit user revealed that a) men love doing absolutely nothing and b) they have a shit ton of feelings. The more you know.

We love dad jokes. We also love bad jokes. Why? Because sometimes they're just so bad that they're good. The eye-rolling they induce, the moans and groans. "So bad it's good" humor isn't just relegated to dads and other punsmiths. There's an entire subreddit, called r/comedyheaven, that solely exists as an archive of content that's "so bad, it's ascended." The community shares everything from text screenshots to movie reviews and news headlines. And they're all deliciously weird, cringey, and oddly hilarious. 

If you're one of those people who compulsively scrolls down to the comments section of a YouTube video hoping to find some insult gold, you've come to the right place because we've put together a bunch of fiery roasts served up by the jibe experts of the internet. We certainly don't condone unwarranted bullying of innocent internet-goers, but some people are straight up asking for it when they post something absolutely roast-worthy. Thanks to subs like r/rareinsults, we can appreciate the most well-deserved and well-delivered roasts.

Was there ever a time in your life when you realized you became the very thing you swore to destroy? Imagine someone spending most of their life despising all landlords until one day they come into a bit of cash and decide to invest in some property. Well the property tax is pretty steep, so they offset the financial burden by renting out the basement. Boom: they're now the thing they always hated. One may have strong views about things that feel pretty rigid, until that person's frame of reference changes slightly and their whole world view is turned upside down. One redditor asked people to recount times they become the thing they swore to destroy, and the answers are pretty entertaining. 

In my family, apologies take time, and are delivered begrudgingly at best. They usually come in the form of a text, or an awkward exchange in a car or a doorway. These apologies end abruptly, with the issue swept under the rug for the victim to simply get over at their own pace. Normal, right? Well, today much of the internet learned about another form of apology. Instead of a simple back and forth with a loved one, apparently there are people who host "Apology Dinners." The concept was the talk of Twitter yesterday, for good reason.

In a now-deleted Reddit post, a user asked the r/AITA (Am I The Asshole) subreddit if they were in the wrong for organizing their sister's "apology dinner." The post (which was inspired by a much sadder apology dinner thread) goes through great effort to explain the concept of a potluck dinner, but carries on to the family drama without pausing to demystify this bizarre custom. After it was shared on Twitter,the tale went viral, inspiring many confused, surprised and critical reactions. 

While we're not sure we've ever met anyone who engaged in this kind of ritual, OP explains in a comment that they are from Romania, and that it's a common occurrence in their culture. Being that we've never been to Romania, we'll have to take their word for it. We'll also have to take some inspiration from the story to raise the bar for everyone who has ever wronged us. Next time I hear my roommate having sex, I'll expect him to feed me a lobster dinner. It's only fair.

It's hard to define what exactly makes something cringe. It's really a vibe. It's the embarrassing images and comments people post on the internet without irony that inspire others to log off. It's something that makes you feel ashamed just for having witnessed its awkwardness. So why do we subject ourselves to this pain? Well, because it's funny. If you're in a masochistic mood, we've got a whole bunch of cringe content for you to wince through. To be fair, a few of these specimens from r/cringepics and r/cringetopia are cringe in a self-aware way, which is actually kinda based. 

Self-owns aren't just for insecure types. Sometimes kamikaze by words is the only way one can win a battle of insults. For internet rubberneckers who love to catch a good Twitter fight or Reddit thread squabble, we've got a handful of spicy times people roasted themselves just to take someone else down with them. We've gotta hand it to these madlads—it takes a bit of skill to annihilate someone through a self-own. 

According to r/bonehurtingjuice, a meme must intentionally misuse its format in order to qualify as a 'bone hurting juice' meme.  It's pretty easy to make one of these memes—one must simply remove the joke, metaphor or original meaning and instead turn the image into a hilariously literal scene. We've collected some of our favorite gems from r/bonehurtingjuice for anyone who can appreciate memes that are all wrong on purpose.

Depending on the generation you belong to, the way you think about the internet might significantly differ from someone much older or younger than you. One (presumably young) redditor asked the 'elders' of Reddit to explain the meaning of slang from the early internet days of yore. Not only did veterans of the net get into archaic terminology, they reminisced about messenger platforms like AIM and ICQ, illegally downloading songs, emoticons, forums and funny chat room dynamics. You can't help but detect a tinge of wistfulness in each response, even when one redditor recounts the traumatic experience of seeing 'goatse' for the first time. Keep scrolling for some amusing highlights from the thread.
