We all know that not everything we see on social media is representative of reality, which goes for everything, from lifestyles to bodies that are being portrayed. That’s why it’s crucial to take certain things with a pinch of salt, especially when reasons for doubt are clearly visible.

Ranging from editing gone wrong to excessive use of airbrush and filters, among other things, these pictures are somewhat extreme cases of altered reality posted on social media, but if you want to have a good laugh, you might just like them the way that they are.
