Internet is a funny place. Here, people trick you into believing something which is miles away from truth. The funny thing is that you also end up believing it. Here are some photos that went viral on Internet and you thought were true but were actually fake!

One drop of seawater magnified 25 times

Now when you look at it for the first time, you might get convinced with the title but let us tell you that it isn't true!

First of all, you can clearly see the petri dish sides which should be your first hint. In order to show so many plankton you’ll have to filter quite literally an entire swimming pool with a special net to gather them. Obviously once the water is filtered through; that plankton would even fit in a teacup. So very logically speaking, in order to get what you see here, you'll have to magnify the entire sea and not just a drop.

From Nepal?

This photo got viral in the year 2015 when Nepal experienced one of the deadliest natural calamity in the history of the country. No one can forget 2015 earthquakes!

Social networks were flooded with tragic pictures mostly involving kids and this one was the most profound one. But the reality is that this picture isn't from there. Na Son Nguyen is the actual photographer who clicked these Vietnamese kids in 2007 IN VIETNAM. There was nothing tragic about this real picture, as told to BBC. Nguyen met the kids in a village playing while parents were busy at work, but the little girl got scared of the stranger and huddled close to her brother which made it too endearing for Nguyen to not click them.SO well, now you know!

This Cow On the Car

This image is appealing but fake. It is photoshopped and was made viral by Surrey Road Police unit on October 18th, 2013. This picture was meant to tell people about being more careful about animals hiding underneath (or over the hood as in the picture) their vehicles during snow as they all crave for warmth.

Monster Cat? Not Really!

Remember the monster cat Snowball? Well, Cordell Hauglie made his pet cat Jumper look like a monster mutant which supposedly weighs 87lbs because his mother lived near a nuclear reactor! But later when the real pictures came out, all of us got a reality check! Snowball is an internet celebrity now albeit a small one.

Putin Photobombed!

All of us saw this picture where Seagal tried photobombing the most powerful man on the planet. But well, do you really think anyone can ever dare to do that?

A carved cabinet that looked like a photo glitch error

The truth is that it’s not a real cabinet at all just the digital image of a concept by Ferruccio Laviani. So well, do not believe in everything that you see online!
