The person who wrote it is exaggerating, for one thing, but humans are prone to exaggeration in making points or illustrations. Jesus used a form of exaggeration called hyperbole when he said it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it would be for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of the heavens. Sure made his point!

It means that everyone exaggerates once in a while. No one does not exaggerate. There's always something why someone exaggerates.

Everyone exaggerates. It might not mean that the sentence is being used onto itself, saying the sentence itself is exaggerating.

It says literally that everyone exaggerates, except its an exaggeration itself which aadds some humor.

Nolan D is right.
I've told you 10000 times not to exaggerate.

It is an ironic statement because it violates the very premise of its own argument by attributing a specific trait to the entire population of earth.

Everybody tends to "stretch the truth" at least a little bit.

Everyone bends the truth a little.
