NathanThe Goal
To do something this extreme and put so much work to execute it, Zilla must have a very good reason to do so. She was obviously asked to explain why she would do such a thing. “I did this to show people that we filter and manipulate what we show on social media,” Zilla explained as she told others about her experiment. “Thereby we create an online ideal world which reality can no longer meet. My goal was to prove how common and easy it is to distort reality.” It was for a school project but it did cause a lot of debate. She, in the end, proved that sometimes, what we see on social media is not always the whole truth.
An Unexpected Result
So in the end, Zilla did manage to show that it is that easy to manipulate our realities on social media. However, the part that she did not anticipate was how much of an effect her experiment was going to have on the people around her. “If I had the chance to do it again, I don’t think I would do it again,” Zilla admitted. “I really underestimated the impact of the project on myself and the people around me!” So we can all agree that we should never base our impressions of people just by looking at their social media. Sometimes we are more than our status online, and sometimes we are less than it.
We often fall for social media posts that lie. However, here we have 5 posts that catch these people posting blatant lies.
Fake-Sleeps
Fantasy Relationships
Next, we have people that feel the need to seem as though they are in a relationship with gorgeous people. Relationships that you keep just for the sake of social media is sad enough, but to go to the extent of creating a fake profile just to seem like you are in a relationship is borderline creepy.
This Make You Feel Good?
Some people would go such a long way to validate their existence. As you can see from the above image, this person thought she could get away by posting something that suggests that she is beautiful. Someone did not come to play as they soon commented about how this image is a lie. Google search was the easiest way to K.O this liar.
The Photoshop Fail
Everyone admires a good body. We all know that it takes hard work and patience to get abs and lose all our body fats. This boy here had the nerve to defend this poorly photoshopped picture of him that makes it seem as though he had developed abs. He is clearly not getting away with it as the comments are full of people laughing at him.
