true facts

We've all got moments where we learn something amazing or shocking for the first time. And full disclosure: not all of these "facts" are true, but we still found them amusing nonetheless, and we hope you will too.

Ever see a meme or post that might not be brilliant, but definitely rings true? r/technicallythetruth is freakin' full of them. So here are a bunch of memes, tweets, and shitposts we can't argue with. If you need more of these decidedly un-groundbreaking nuggets, you can find 'em at the subreddit or right here.

We've been seeing a lot of wholesome content lately. It makes sense. When the world feels bleak, most people need a little positivity to remind them that even the pain is temporary. This post is not for these people. Reddit user u/mc_gnome took to r/AskReddit requesting people share some 'unfun facts' on the thread. The responses weren't just 'unfun,' they're actually mind-blowingly morbid and depressing. But some people, like us, enjoy learning of the cruelty of nature. And these posts are for you.

Libraries are an often-overlooked amenity in society. They provide us with infinite amounts of knowledge right at our fingertips, they can serve as an optimal community meeting spot and many, many other things. This kind librarian took it upon themselves to explain these little-known facts that every librarian wants you to know!

When you start thinking about your life in the grand scheme of things, nothing truly matters because we're all just tiny specks of dust existing on a stupid little rock that's floating in circles around a slightly bigger rock that happens to be on fire. Anyway, ignore that existential bit and enjoy some fascinating nerdy facts about space!

It's a pretty well-known fact that ignorance is bliss. These tidbits from an especially uncomfortable AskReddit thread are definitely proof of this theory. One masochistic user asked the community to share all the glorious factoids they wish they hadn't learned, and honestly - we feel the same way.

Why is it that our "deepest" thoughts occur when we're doing mundane sh*t like taking a shower? We have no idea, but we'll never get tired of reading other peoples fascinating shower thoughts when we're at our most bored. Try them for size, these shower thoughts could really get your brain up and going.

Okay, you got us. These thought provoking shower thoughts are about as deep as it gets in "hits blunt" memes. But they're still pretty damn on point. We're officially including mosquito nets in our zombie apocalypse survival kit. And there are more shower thoughts for you to peek at if you're now in a thinking mood.

Anti-vaxxers aren't exactly known for being the most logical people in the world, and the rise of the anti-vaxx movement has turned out to be quite detrimental to society at large. Luckily there are those warriors that come through in the comments sections to deliver cold hard facts! 

What's better than a bunch of random facts to blow your mind on a lazy afternoon? The answer is 'nothing'. So here you go, friends. Prepare for your brain to implode then reform again with these delightfully bizarre facts. 

Ever wish you could "un-know" something? That might be how you feel after reading through these facts. We're officially terrified of wasps. 

Money, power and sheer stupidity can drive people to do some pretty insane things. Here's some that insane individuals thought they could get away with buying using the company credit card. 

For me, 'The Dark Knight' still stands as one of the greatest movies of all time. It was one of those films were the writing, acting, and directing all come together perfectly to create a truly awe-inspiring experience.

Normally fun-facts will try to sell themselves as something you 'totally need to know'. Well, we'll be honest. These aren't those kind of facts. These facts are completely non-essential to your well-being and everyday life. But read them anyway, because they're actually really interesting.
