    Pretty much any smartphone can easily crop images. This is very likely fake.

      You’d think, but the amount of people who “save” pictures on their phones by taking a screenshot that they then don’t ever crop, is disturbing.

        The amount of people who save images by screenshotting them instead of downloading the image is also disturbing.

            And Facebook and messenger saves them in some Limbo where you can never actually locate the files directly.

                Sure thing! I’ll just tell ALL my relatives and literally all my friends to migrate over. Messenger is the de facto messaging platform where I live, so should be easy.

                  I get it. I have friends who won’t use anything, so we’re stuck using basic SMS to text message between iOS and Android. It’s annoying. I hate the ease at which Facebook rolled out messenger and gained mass appeal. It means that people aren’t thinking critically about what they’re doing.

                    I don’t really care about what app I use for messaging until it’s one and only one. I don’t want to use 6 fucking different apps to communicate with 30 people. As long as everyone is on just one, I’m okay.

          I download them when I can, often it doesn’t work and I have to screenshot it.

        I mean, even if the number was in the hundreds of thousands, I don’t really find it all that disturbing.

      It probably is fake given the response, but I think you underestimate just how stupid people can be.

      I have a vendor who takes our simple web form that would remember past inputs to make it easy on them when they use it, but instead prints it out, writes the answers on it with a pen, and faxes it back.

      Every. Single. Time.

        As someone who doesn’t have to work with that person, this is hilarious

      Someone would do that? Just go on the internet and lie?

      Ah but you see, someone like me would absolutely just forget to crop the picture before sending. Granted, there aren’t many people as dull as me. I’m one of a kind 😊

      Not saying it isn’t fake tho, who am I kidding? This is the internet.

        Usually when you crop a picture, it saves a copy, so it’s at least plausible that this person could have made that mistake.
