The Most Ridiculous Things People Tried To Pass Off As Reality On The Internet
Anyone who has spent any small amount of time on the internet could probably tell you that not everything you see on the World Wide Web can be accepted as 100% truth, but we'd all like to think that we can tell the difference between fact and fiction.
While it came sometimes be hard to tell what's real or what's not, some people on social media make it particularly easy to spot a fake thanks to their efforts to turn themselves into something they're definitely not.
She Could Be A Track Star
![photoshop long legs photoshopped long legs](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/photoshop-long-legs-80128.jpg?width=800&height=974)
With legs as long as those, her talents are wasted as a model.
She should be trying out for the Olympic track team or off reaching things that are stuck on the top shelf.
Just Hire A Pregnant Model
![fake pregnant model pregnant model badly photoshopped](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/fake-pregnant-model-77249.jpg?width=800&height=1341)
Rather than photoshopping a fake belly onto a non-pregnant woman and leaving her looking like she's about to recreate that scene from Alien, would it not be easier to simply hire a pregnant woman?
Honest question.
Even The Food Can't Be Trusted
![food photoshop fake food in instagram](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/food-photoshop-89304.jpg?width=800&height=533)
So now we have to go around wondering if even the food or flowers we see in photos on social media is fake too?
Is nothing sacred in this world?
Lighting The Way
![extra white teeth super white teeth](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/extra-white-teeth-77754.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=135&left=0&zoom=1.25)
You can take comfort in knowing that if you're ever staying at his apartment and the power goes out, you'll be able to survive off the glow of his teeth until the lights come back on.
Maybe that's a good thing?
Catch Of The Day
![giant photoshop fish giant fish photoshopped](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/giant-photoshop-fish-32732.jpg?width=800&height=984)
I understand that you think catching a fish this large will enhance your social status and have all the women swiping right on your Tinder profile.
You'd be better off with no fish at all.
Knees, Who Kneeds Them?
![ad with no knees facebook model has no knees](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ad-with-no-knees-62539.jpg?width=800&height=851)
Prior to seeing this photo, we probably would have argued that everyone needs to have knees to live their life, but this model has proved us wrong.
She's doing just fine without them, and we can too.
Even The Food Looks Fake
![super super edited photo extra edited instagram post](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/super-super-edited-photo-50200.jpg?width=800&height=966)
There are too many things happening in this photo to pinpoint just one issue with it, but I think we can all agree that this is a bit much.
Surely, no one can think they look better like this than in the original photo, whatever that may be...
Well, That Seems Completely Believable
![bad arm photoshop terrible photoshop on muscles](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/bad-arm-photoshop-62763.jpg?width=800&height=1066)
Sure, it looks like he actually cut a picture of a celebrity's arm out of a magazine and taped it to his body or to his mirror, but we're just going to let him have this win.
It is really obvious, though.
We're Inclined To Not Believe Her
![fake disney background floating on the fake disney background](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/fake-disney-background-55033.jpg?width=800&height=794)
Maybe if she had photoshopped herself into the patch of sunshine and managed to add a shadow, we might have believed she was really on the Disney boardwalk.
Not sitting in her room in some state other than Florida while photoshopping this.
Talk About Unattainable Goals
![fitness goals fitness fake goals](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/fitness-goals-73401.jpg?width=800&height=979)
It's already hard enough to scroll through Instagram and see a bunch of other people who have bodies you can't possibly attain, but this is just too much.
This isn't fitness goals, this is just impossible.
Sunsets And Trees Don't Mix
![fake sunsets fake sunset in background](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/fake-sunsets-65198.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Haven't you ever been told that sunsets don't reach behind the trees? No? We haven't heard that either, but apparently, that's what this girl was taught in school.
Maybe that beautiful, completely natural sunset that definitely happened will distract people from the truth.
You Forgot The Box's Shadow...
![fake iphone box forgotten box shadow](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/fake-iphone-box-31206.jpg?width=800&height=1131)
If you're going to photoshop items into your Instagram giveaway so you can gain some recognition or extra followers, at least take a photo where the shadow doesn't expose you.
Come on, dude.
Half-Person, Half-Cartoon
![half cartoon body half cartoon body on person](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/half-cartoon-body-55934.jpg?width=800&height=1094)
It's like whoever was designing this ad changed their strategy halfway through...
It was going to be a cartoon, but then they went with the real person and never corrected her bottom half!
Its The A Bug's Life Look
![bug photoshop weird skull photo shop](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/bug-photoshop-56327.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=58&left=0&zoom=0.833333333333)
We understood that people like to edit their photos to make themselves look better, whether that's by making their skin a little smoother or their waist a little smaller.
We have no idea what this woman was trying to do with these edits...
Even Mother Nature Can't Pull This Off
![fake nature nature photoshopping fake](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/fake-nature-82966.jpg?width=800&height=999)
So you've got the sun breaking through the clouds up ahead, but you've also got the sun shining on the back of the woman looking at the sun in the distance.
Plus, there's the fact that the sky doesn't match the reflection in the water.
Pecs > Pendant
![photoshopped pecs fake abs](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/photoshopped-pecs-55417.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Don't you just hate when you work out too much, and you become so ripped that your pecs grow over the top of your necklace?
The sacrifices people make to have a six-pack!
Is That Maya Rudolph?
![instagram vs video instagram fake on video](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/instagram-vs-video-69560.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Unfortunately, no matter how much you edit a photo or how many filters you throw over it, the second you start a live stream or post a video, you're going to expose yourself.
Just like this lady did.
Should We Be Airbrushing Our Ankles?
![airbrush ankles ankles super photoshopped](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/airbrush-ankles-25623.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Out of all the things that society tells us we should be ashamed of or that we should feel insecure about, ankles were never one of them.
That changes today. It's time to start airbrushing your ankles, ladies. Break out those Photoshop skills to get that boneless, poreless ankle skin.
But Why Make The Heads Smaller?
![shrunken heads men with shrunken heads](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/shrunken-heads-37956.jpg?width=800&height=809)
Did they make the heads smaller, or did enhancing every other muscle they have and lengthening their legs simply result in their heads looking smaller?
It looks like they'd topple over if a strong breeze came along.
Good Luck Swimming In That Pool
![background fake photo terrible photo background](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/background-fake-photo-59748.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Wow, what a lovely home this girl has! Which Windows desktop background do you think she pulled this picture from?
It would have been more believable if she hadn't put herself in the photo.
Those Pesky Shadows Ruin Everything
![fake girlfriend photo man taking photo of himself and pretending it was girlfriend but you can see shadow in car window](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/fake-girlfriend-photo-32017.jpg?width=800&height=533)
It seems like any time people try to post a photo that their "girlfriend" or "boyfriend" took, they end up exposing themselves in some way.
It's almost like it's a sign that you should stop taking fake relationship photos.
His Sunburn Will Be Real
![fake beach days fake beach day person lying in dirt in backyard](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/fake-beach-days-73888.jpg?width=800&height=533)
If he wants to lie on a pile of dirt in the backyard and tell his friends that he spent the day at the beach, are we really entitled to tell him he's wrong?
He's living his best lie, and we support that.
His Hips Don't Lie
![distorted woman and boyfriend woman who photoshopped photo with boyfriend so they both look distorted](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/distorted-woman-and-boyfriend-56881.jpg?width=800&height=985)
Everyone knows it's scientific fact that hips are unable to lie, and his hips are telling the real truth behind this photo.
His bicep would have been our next clue if the hip wasn't enough.
What Did This Lie Accomplish?
![self timer photo woman in instagram caption who said she used self-timer to take photos but someone saw her photographer](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/self-timer-photo-54454.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Did we miss the memo where people decided that it was no longer cool to have someone else take photos of you so you should lie and say that you used a self-timer?
Luckily, there was someone else around to catch this influencer in her lie.
You Have To Look Good, Even In The Hospital
![hospital patient filter before and after of woman using filter on photo of her in hospital](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/hospital-patient-filter-60185.jpg)
We'd like to argue that of all the places it would be acceptable for you to not feel like you need to put a filter on a photo, a hospital would be high on that list.
Maybe a funeral too.
Her Skills Are Out Of This World
![bad linkedin profile linkedin profile picture of woman who edited eyes too big so she looks like a bug](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/bad-linkedin-profile-93865.jpg)
Apparently, we've now graduated to people heavily editing their LinkedIn photos too, so no platform is safe.
She looks like she's an alien from another planet, so maybe she'll be the secret weapon your company needs.
Armpits Aren't Necessary
![completely smooth armpit heavily edited photo where woman smoothed out armpit](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/completely-smooth-armpit-82521.jpg?width=800&height=1008)
Are armpits something that we're supposed to be uncomfortable about? Is that the new insecurity that we want to be gifting to young women?
Leave your armpits alone and stop making them so smooth.
She Can Travel Anywhere She Wants
![fake influencer vacay trips influence photoshopping herself into vacation photos but it's really obvious that its fake](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/fake-influencer-vacay-trips-96805.jpg?width=800&height=787)
With the power of Photoshop, this influencer has discovered that she can travel anywhere around the world that she wants!
She tried to pass it off as actual trips, but she needs to take another class or two before anyone is going to believe she's really in that resort and not in her house somewhere.
Adjusting To The Curves
![photoshop booty photoshop job given away by car door frame bent very out of shape](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/photoshop-booty-13325.jpg?width=800&height=533)
How nice that her vehicle is custom built just for her and even knows when to adjust the doorframe to make room for her large booty.
Some users commented that maybe this woman was intentionally doing this because there's no way she could think that people didn't know she edited the photo.
A MegaWatt Smile
![tiny waist big smile woman who edited super white teeth and very tiny waist](https://www.tacorelish.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/tiny-waist-big-smile-29458.jpg?width=800&height=1422)
She's apparently hoping that everyone will be blinded by her extremely white teeth so they won't notice that she has eliminated half the space in her waist that would normally house her vital organs.
We all suffer for beauty.
