Was sure that skateboard wipeout video was real until I saw the shadow on the rail
Someone pointed out the reflection didn't match the fall angle and after I paused it frame by frame it was super obvious they added a crash sound effect too. What's the biggest tell that made you realize a vid was faked?

That rail shadow was the dead giveaway for me too. Watched a "car drifting on ice" video three times before I noticed the tire tracks clearly showed it was a parking lot with sand and gravel sprayed on.

Man that drifting video sounds rough... I hate when you finally figure out you've been totally played after watching something over and over. Makes you feel kinda dumb even though it's not your fault.

Remember that viral "moon landing" video from a few years back that turned out to be a studio mockup? Ngl I watched it like ten times before my buddy pointed out the flag was blowing in an obvious breeze and there's no air on the moon. Felt like a total idiot for a solid week. Honestly I still fall for stuff like that all the time. Guess I'm just too trusting of my own eyes or something.
