Evidently, users of the world's leading social network need a bit of help when it comes to discerning truth from fiction in the form of satire crafted to pushed boundaries of credulity.

FACEBOOK crashed for million of users across the world.

The social media site went offline sometime around 5am (AEST) for about half an hour.

It is not known what caused the problem.

Twitter users were quick to vent.

Facebook is down. We literally don't know what to do with our lives. WAHHHHH.

Facebook is down. So once again, Twitter turns into the only bar that's open and it fills up with lots of people who shouldn't be here.
