Now I have had my fair share of Internet over the past four years, as I am sure everyone has. My experience is that people lie.... A lot. Which is usually not a big deal. Who cares if you say you have to have a farm because you have so many tigers you can't let them roam around the house. That they need to be free!!! Then post pictures of tigers you found on google. Dear Internet liars I am going to teach you some stuff. I need you to do me a favor first go to google images and search... twin ultrasound photos. I'll wait.............................................................. Ok now right click on the photo and go to properties. Do you see that url that pops up? IT STAYS WITH HE PHOTO AS ITS ORIGINAL POINT. So when you post that ladies photo it can be tracked to prove its not you. You moron. Also go to google now and search "Whats my ip?". Click on one of the many options. The number that shows up is your computers fingerprint. It shows up on emails, on wall posts, forum posts, comments, ect... When you say you are a pregnant artist who lives in Sweden...those numbers tell me you are in San Jose.... They don't lie. Unless you want to pay for a program that scrambles your ip...then I can see that to, or any mod. Then they know you have the device because it's ever changing your ip and sends hacker red flags.
Now this one gets its own paragraph... because well this is the most common. When you post they don't disappear into the oblivion... They are saved as forum archives. So when you decide randomly that you are sick of being fake pregnant and all of a sudden have you 9lb baby at 6 months you cannot deny your previous posts of due dates and ultrasounds. Then all of a sudden are defending your story to and ever growing hormonal angry mob. Also... no ones family member or fake husband defends people. If I said to my significant other "Babe, I lied about miscarrying sextuplets and now every ones mad at me will you post and demand they be nice to me please?" He would laugh in my face and have me committed (Thank god). So when your husband or friend jumps to your rescue... we know its you.
Ok last thing last thing. Statistics. Now lets talk about this. If you have been in a major car crash and your body is full of scar tissue so much so that you can barely eat, your stomach is slowly turning gangrenous but then next week you are pregnant and can't get enough spicy food... Um this will trigger red flags. Sure you might be telling the truth but if you are lying it will unravel fast. So if you are on a forum about pregnancy and there are 40 active members you being pregnant with twins is unlikely, and other women being pregnant with twins is your red flag to not be. Twins even with fertility treatments is a 1 in 200 shot. So when there are three of you pregnant with twins out of forty its not really plausible. So think before you lie.
Also if you suspect someone of lying... Someone suspects you of lying. There is nothing more funny than watching two liars cheat at scrabble or argue in a pissing match. " Well my husbands from Ireland and is a doctors and just bought me a 6 million dollar house." " Well my husband is a chef who makes me all the best food i could ever want and we are going to have a baby even though its physically impossible for me to procreate!" Getting in this pissing match over a public outlet pretty much forces you to come up with a lot of info fast that you will have to back up later. So don't do it. If some other liar is stealing your thunder let it be or you both will be caught. Also if you go to a site, look at recent posts or drama. If a liar has previously been headhunted then maybe back off because people are sceptical right after a fiasco. Also know your audience. Don't lie about being pregnant to pregnant women, they know their stuff. Don't lie about being an engineer to engineers, about miscarriage on a miscarriage forum, about dragons on a dragon forum, about aliens on an alien forum ect... These people are versed in the matter. If you lie on a different forum you are less likely to be caught by the experts. Sure you risk not getting as much attention, but I guess that's up to you to weigh out the risk factor.
Now this is not directed at anyone specific (I am totally lying right now) Its just an educational piece. To better help the liars out there understand what they are up against.
Now to the people being lied to. Its the Internet, and there is nothing more fun than calling out a crazy lying person. So maybe right click on that photo and see where it came from. Reply to a post that a miscarriage at 10 weeks does not produce a 1lb baby. Tell that person that dragons in Canada is ridiculous. Its fun to watch them squirm. Bring up previous posts to make them have to explain more (I thought her mom was a Mongolian whore, not a french one) and so on.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Nobody
