The truth is hard to come by, especially online. We're exposed to a boatload of information on the internet, and fact-checking everything we're fed can be near impossible, which is why many social media websites have implemented certain tags and fact-checking tools to certify the content you're being fed is real and accurate, such as on Twitter and Facebook. That being said, it's important to note that sometimes people aren't looking for the truth, or at least not the whole literal truth, and that's where Reddit's /r/technicallythetruth shines.

This subreddit is dedicated to showing off various examples of moments where things are often misinterpreted, or questions get lost in translation. It's effortless to be misunderstood online, especially when you don't know the context of whatever question you're asking, and this can often lead to some hilarious results, as shown in this collection. Prepare to laugh and scratch your head in confusion as you're met with some of the silliest examples of people getting things wrong (or right).
