As she is single, they made it seem like a big thing.\nThat’s not the only thing they made though, as they also photoshopped the image depicted in the article, and invented the narrative out of nowhere. She quickly noticed and exposed them as a response. We hope she wasn’t bothered again by them, because that was a disrespect to her privacy.

As long as they rack up a few hundred likes before they’re exposed, they don’t really care.\nThis person barely put any effort into this fake post that they made, so it makes sense that they were exposed so quickly. They simply took a photo of a modern day soldier, put a sepia tone filter on it, and tried to pass it off as a vintage military picture. Nice try. The guy from the photo found it and let everyone know that it was actually him.

K. Rowling, responsible for the critically acclaimed Harry Potter franchise, sparked the interest in female authors that were previously unheard of.\nWhile she is certainly an icon and inspiration to a new generation of women writers, it’s important to look back and see how much women have contributed and influenced literature as a whole. In fact, The Tale of Genji; namely the first novel to ever exist, was written by Japanese author Murasaki Shikibu over a thousand years ago.

You go and take time out of your day to do interviews. You painstakingly choose your words so that your fans can understand your message. And then boom, you are completely misrepresented when the article is finally posted.\nAnd for what, so the website can get more clicks by lying and saying that you said something controversial? We would definitely be irritated. This website made it seem that this Apex Legends game director said something that was the opposite of what he actually said. He made sure to correct them.

Social media is filled with bots and fake accounts. The sad part is, that they don’t exist for anything good; so it is best to stay away from them. Fortunately, most bots aren’t so advanced yet, making them fairly easy to spot.
The person who programmed this one clearly didn’t expect something like this to happen, as this clever user busted their bot by exploiting its simple response parameters. Or… Were they also a bot, making this even more hilarious? We might never know.
This person claimed that their local animal shelter was empty after all of its dogs were adopted. The post went viral and many people got their heart warmed, but, to their surprise, the story turned out to be a little different in reality.
An employee from the shelter later explained that every dog had to be temporarily transported to Northern rescue groups, due to the local being shut down for disaster relief. On a positive note, if you are wishing to adopt a pet, they still have plenty of buddies to choose from!
This is but another reminder of why we should not make fun of events that we are unaware of. The person from the photo joked about how we shouldn’t text while driving, in order to avoid unexpected accidents.
They might have not had a bad intention, but what they didn’t know was that the image they shared was from a crash that occurred due to a brake failure, not the driver’s fault. To our relief, the driver is at least safe from the accident.
Being on an airplane is not the most comfortable of settings. There’s turbulence and little legroom. Add an aggressively annoying guy to the situation and you’re in for a horrible plane ride.
We’re not sure who told this man that being an alpha male means that you can disrespect everyone around you, but we hope the flight attendants came and gave him the most comfortable seat—off the plane, that is.
We really can’t blame the guy who shared this picture, because there’s a big chance that they just got confused and forgot to do a bit of research. What happened is that they wrote that the kids from the photo were Irish, when in reality, they were all Dutch.
In fact, it wasn’t just some random image on the internet, but a piece of a shot for no other than Vogue. Lots of us have this stereotypical image of Irish people being redheads, so we’ll forgive the guy this time.
It’s sadly a tendency for media to distort content in order to make an attractive story out of it. This article stated that actress Brie Larson was annoyed by the fact that Disney wouldn’t provide her a free subscription to its streaming service, despite being part of several movies featured in the platform.
However, that’s far from what actually happened, as she was of course joking when she made the comment on an interview. Hopefully this didn’t cause her any trouble.
