No, that's bullshit.

[Icecoldcynic]

I'm sure this happens to everyone. You wander into a conversation, or perhaps an internet discussion, and someone will say something that immediately makes you think "No, that's bullshit", but you never actually say anything.

Whether this has happened online, with a group of friends, or you simply heard about it from someone else, come share your "No, that's bullshit" moments.

For me, it has to be the number of people in a "How long have you gone without sleep?" topic who claim times upwards of 3-5 days. We all know it's not true, and yet we don't bother to say anything.

Another would be people who self-diagnose themselves with various illnesses such as insomnia or bipolar disorder.

P.S: if you must mention something said by someone on the escapist, please refrain from posting exact quotes, or posting any names.

Yes, that self-diagnosis thing is so annoying. If you haven't gone to a mental health professional and actually had it verified that you do have it, you don't know so don't claim you do. And I have "that's BS" moments all the time. At times I think I see more posts of BS than I do believable ones. But that's the internet.

i know someone who says he has a metal arm and leg, his facebook got hacked and the hacker put a pic of his face on the terminator, optimus prime and the tin man. twas quite funny

 

[rokkolpo]

when i think somethings bullshit i ask.

and i really have not slept in 4 days once.
among my friends there is someone whose body rejects melatonine (hormone to make you sleep)

don't ignorantly say no to something.

Well there is not much point in posting much that I've seen on the internet, because well.. most of it is just bullshit.

One thing that springs to mind is how one of my "friends" clams that he smuggled a Uzi in his boot from.. China to Spain?

But didn't get caught because it was in so many small pieces that the Security didn't know what it was..

Can anybody tell me.. is it actually possible to dismantle a barrel of a gun? I'm no expert but that just sounds fucking stupid.

But i decided to play along with it as everybody else sipped from his giant cup of shit that he was feeding them.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

How about whenever people are asked for their penis size?

Also, people will try to brag about anything so they will exaggerate to make themselves seem like the best, even if it's something as silly as going without sleep.

Well you can dismantle a gun, but if you want to get it back together then the pieces would be big enough to be obvious as to what it is. A security person would definitely notice, especially cross-country airport security.

Hilarious! Irrelevant, but hilarious.

Snip*

I have stayed up 2 days straight.
It could be possible to stay up for 3.

amphetamine sulphate?
Or Speed..
Could be easy possible if you take that stuff.

I know its possible to dismantle a gun, most are made for this purpose so they can be cleaned.

But it was the part where he described not on piece of the gun could be identifiable..
Trigger, barrel? I'm sure neither of these can be split into two parts?

This sentence: "I only get bad grades because I have ADD"

EDIT:Oh, wait, this is stuff we don't respond to? My bad.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

What are you talking about, OP?

I really have gone 17 days without sleep, have an IQ of 283, have had sex with 379 people since I was 12, suffer from borderline syndrome, and have the top score in every game ever!!!1

Check your facts before you go say something is bullshit!

 

[Offworlder_v1legacy]

In one of my groups of friends there is this one guy who makes bullshit up left right and centre. I can't give a specific example because he has just presented so many lies. Some of the things he says are completly outragous, but being the good, kind friend I am, I let him have his way.

 

[Yossarian1507]

1) Most recent one: 'Heavy Rain has no gameplay at all'. I used to argue, but right now, I just say 'Bullshit!' in my mind and move along.

2) My friend, who is way smaller than me (and I'm not very tall either), weaker (I can easily outmatch him in every Armwrestling/normal wrestling match we do sometimes for fun, and again, I'm not very strong myself), and who has been in a gym maybe 2 or 3 times in his entire life, who started laughing at me when I told him I have some problems with lifting more than 50kg from my chest (I just started going to gym myself just 2 months ago, so no surprise here). Then he told me, he can easily make correct series with 80kg weights. I called BS in my mind, but I decided to let him live in his little world of lies.

when fat people say 'im really careful with what i eat'

 

[Tekkawarrior]

Self diagnosis of insomnia is like every cool-guys thing, I've heard this from every dude that wants to show how hardcore he is.

Penis size, I never argue with that, even though 90% of the time It's bullshit, pics or it didn't happen.

World records of any kind, such as "DUDE IM TELLING YOU, I ATE 650 HOTDOGS"... bullshit man ... bullshit.

 

[Daveman]

Nope I always call it out. Like whenever I hear my grandparents start going on abut Mediums or Psychics. I just say that they're definitely liars and are evil people trying to manipulate their way into their wallets.

 

[Steppin Razor]

Well the other day I wandered into my local EB and while I was in there I overheard this fat dude on a motorised scooter telling these other people how he'd just sold a game on eBay for $700. I can't be absolutely positive, but I'm 99.9% sure he said it was Final Fantasy VII.

I walked out of the store laughing.
