Publish Not your original work? Add source In this modern world, where the amount of fake news, alternative facts, scams, and quasi-claims seem to be off the charts, it's easy to doubt things. But despite our suspicions, many of us still enjoy and seek out good "truth is stranger than fiction" stories. Because life is weird. Science is crazy. Evolution is wild. And there are so many staggering or downright surreal things happening right under our noses we don't even notice. Chances are, you've stumbled upon at least one piece of trivia that is so weird, it sounds totally made up. And you're definitely not the only one. There's an entire thread on 'Ask Reddit' where this subject matter takes center stage. "What is a true fact that sounds fake?" asked user TheMemeing and inspired hundreds of members to share their intriguing tidbits of knowledge immediately. From snails having 14,000 teeth to Mantis shrimp generating light, just because something sounds a little bogus, it doesn't mean it's not real. We've gathered some of the most illuminating responses from the thread, so continue scrolling! Although remember that a little healthy skepticism goes a long way, so put your thinking caps on and take everything you read online with a pinch of salt. Then upvote the facts that surprised you most, and be sure to share your own nuggets of information with us in the comments. Psst! When you've finished this list, take a look at our previous post filled with fake-sounding facts here.

Ieva Gailiūtė andIeva Pečiulytė
Publish Not your original work? Add source In this modern world, where the amount of fake news, alternative facts, scams, and quasi-claims seem to be off the charts, it's easy to doubt things. But despite our suspicions, many of us still enjoy and seek out good "truth is stranger than fiction" stories. Because life is weird. Science is crazy. Evolution is wild. And there are so many staggering or downright surreal things happening right under our noses we don't even notice. Chances are, you've stumbled upon at least one piece of trivia that is so weird, it sounds totally made up. And you're definitely not the only one. There's an entire thread on 'Ask Reddit' where this subject matter takes center stage. "What is a true fact that sounds fake?" asked user TheMemeing and inspired hundreds of members to share their intriguing tidbits of knowledge immediately. From snails having 14,000 teeth to Mantis shrimp generating light, just because something sounds a little bogus, it doesn't mean it's not real. We've gathered some of the most illuminating responses from the thread, so continue scrolling! Although remember that a little healthy skepticism goes a long way, so put your thinking caps on and take everything you read online with a pinch of salt. Then upvote the facts that surprised you most, and be sure to share your own nuggets of information with us in the comments. Psst!
