A guy said he had a pet unicorn. He said it was white as snow and had a rainbow - colored horn. It ate only glitter and sparkles. Obviously, that's a made - up story.
I heard that there's a place where it rains ice cream. People there don't need to buy ice cream from stores. They just go outside with a bowl and catch the ice cream falling from the sky. It sounds really absurd, but it's a fun bullshit story.
Sure. There was a story about a cat that could talk and was giving stock market advice. It was so absurd but got a lot of likes. I mean, come on, cats can't talk, let alone be financial gurus.
There was a student who said she could levitate objects with her mind during finals week. She said the stress of exams gave her some sort of psychic power. She'd sit in the library and pretend to focus really hard on a pencil, and then claim it moved a little bit. Everyone knew she was just joking around, but it was a fun story to pass the time during those intense study days.
Once upon a time, there was a talking fish that could sing opera. It lived in a pond and every night it would come out and perform for the other animals. But one day, a wizard turned it into a mute frog just because he didn't like opera. Total bullshit, right?
Stories about finding a hidden treasure in their own backyard just by accident are also great bullshit fb stories. They often lack any real evidence like pictures of the actual treasure or proper documentation, but they spread like wildfire on Facebook.
In college, there was a legend about a secret underground tunnel that led to the dean's office. One day, my friends and I decided to search for it. We scoured the campus basement, following every possible lead. After hours of searching, we found a small crawl space. We convinced ourselves it was the start of the tunnel. We crawled in, got completely dirty, and in the end, we realized it was just a duct for the heating system. It was a wild and completely made - up adventure.
One example could be the story that single moms are always looking for a new partner just to support them financially. That's a total bullshit. Most single moms are focused on taking care of their kids first and foremost.
Well, maybe it's because the plot is too convoluted. There could be too many complex elements and not enough clear explanations, making it seem like a jumbled mess.
Well, it could be that someone thinks the idea of a 'white envelope Christmas' is a made - up or overrated concept. Maybe it involves some commercialized or false notions associated with Christmas that they don't believe in.
One way is to look for specific details. If a story is very vague about how success was achieved, it might be bullshit. For example, if it just says 'We worked hard and became successful' without any real details on the strategies or actions taken. Also, check for consistency. If the numbers or facts don't add up or change from one telling to another, it's likely a bullshit story.
Well, it could be many things. Maybe it refers to the common stereotypes or false assumptions people make about single moms. For example, assuming they're all on welfare or that they can't raise their kids properly.
