Lol yes I saw that earlier 😂😂

Dirtychai · 22/08/2022 20:34

Love it.

Sparklingbrook · 22/08/2022 20:35

They are lying surely? Everything posted on MN is the absolute truth and must not be questioned Grin

FlibbertyGiblets · 22/08/2022 20:37

Well I am shaking and crying at the notion that not everyone is who they say they are on the internet, how awful, I never knew. Sad

I love trying to spot made up posts. Always something dramatic and the Op posting plenty of updates which add to the drama too.

I'm still begging for Firefly updates. I know that's not real either. But it's entertaining.

QuebecBagnet · 22/08/2022 20:38

80% of stuff on here is bollocks.

Unforgettablefire · 22/08/2022 20:39

Never in the world!

CurlUpAndDye · 22/08/2022 20:39

And they are proud of this?? What a sad little life they must live, poor pumpkin.😥

Sparklingbrook · 22/08/2022 20:40

Let's face it the Daily Mail only pick up the out there/ completely unbelievable threads mostly, not 'what are you having for dinner tonight?' etc. So not sure why they think that's a badge of honor.

UWhatNow · 22/08/2022 20:40

I don’t actually see what difference it really makes? If it’s plausible enough for people to respond then fair play.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 22/08/2022 20:41

I don’t believe that everything written on here is Gospel truth, but equally, I do believe that outrageous/unbelievable things do happen to people, so just because something sounds unbelievable, doesn’t always mean it is made up.

I also think that, if someone thinks another poster is lying, they should report it to MNHQ.

Sparklingbrook · 22/08/2022 20:42

I think a lot of people also pass the time on their long commute replying to threads that are obviously made up old cobblers out of boredom.

butterflied · 22/08/2022 20:42

We all pass the time on here. I go with 85 percent being made up.

Let’s face it, you’re not mumsnetting properly unless you’ve been sobbing and shaking.

Of course a lot of crap here is made up. Is anyone surprised by this?!

FusionChefGeoff · 22/08/2022 20:43

I come here mostly for entertainment and a little bit for advice. Of course a lot of the best entertainment is made up!

As low as that? On some days its at least 95 %. Grin

redskyatnight · 22/08/2022 20:44

Am I the only one that doesn't necessarily care if they are made up or not? They are quite often entertaining or though provoking, and if I'm not interested I'll move on past.

mothertrucking · 22/08/2022 20:45

Just imagine that little liar could post on this thread.

Sparklingbrook · 22/08/2022 20:45

You can generally tell if they're made up, but sometimes it's fun to humor or indulge the OP for a while.

MrsTerryPratchett · 22/08/2022 20:45

War and Peace is made up and people read that.

Allmarbleslost · 22/08/2022 20:46

I never believe anything I read on here. At least 75% of it is completely made up bollocks. I do worry about some posters who get heavily invested in threads.
