View more comments The 'Weird Facts' Instagram project eventually grew so large that its founder decided to branch out and create a trivia learning app. There are over 900 random, interesting, and genuine facts that you can learn and then wow your friends and family over dinner with. Some trivia might sound strange, true, but it's all been double and triple-checked by 'Weird Facts.' Bored Panda has analyzed the topics of media literacy and how we can distinguish between true and false facts in quite a lot of detail before. Last week, I spoke to Steven Wooding, who is a member of the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom, who elaborated on what kind of mindset a true, curious, impartial scientist ought to have. "Scientists have to be curious about how the world works and persistent in their work, as it may take years for it to pay off. Creativity to imagine what might be possible and attention to detail to gain knowledge are also very important," Steven told Bored Panda during an interview. #4 factsweird Report Final score: 1.3Kpoints POST OCD Mom OCD Mom Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago You go, ladies! 1036 1Kpoints reply View More Replies...

One experiment doesn't make a fact. A fact comes from experiments that can be repeated and verified many times over." According to the researcher, the advent of internet newsfeeds and platforms like TikTok and Twitter has shortened our attention spans. As a result, we tend to have a lower tolerance for long-form content that requires more focus and energy from us. #7 factsweird Report Final score: 1.2Kpoints POST OCD Mom OCD Mom Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Good boi! 955 955points reply View More Replies...

View more comments "If you feel you are time-pressured, it's probably only natural that you don't want to invest a chunk of time on one article but instead scan the headlines to get lots of little bits of information. I have certainly noticed myself being less likely to read a long article unless it's something that genuinely interests me," he said that on the one hand, we're saving time, but on the other hand, we're staying at a very superficial level of information. "The negative impact is that we won't reach a deeper level of understanding of something and end up missing out. This is ironic, as people today rush around trying not to miss out on things," Steven told Bored Panda. #10 factsweird Report Final score: 1.1Kpoints POST Sheila McEnany Markowitz Sheila McEnany Markowitz Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago This really moooooves me... 931 931points reply View More Replies...

This issue goes back to short attention spans, which gives us a broad, but shallow spread of knowledge. Take the time to read a book on a subject, and you are bound to learn more," the expert gave some advice, urging everyone to build their patience for content that isn't just bite-sized. #13 factsweird Report Final score: 1.1Kpoints POST OCD Mom OCD Mom Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Wholesome. 797 797points reply View More Replies...

"Red flags to watch out for that a claim may be fake: it's outlandish, it's too good to be true, you haven't seen the claim anywhere else, you've never heard the source, the source isn't reputable, you can't find two other sources making the same claim, your gut tells you, 'this can't be true,'" Mike told shared with Bored Panda. #16 factsweird Report Final score: 1.1Kpoints POST Vasana Phong Vasana Phong Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago True love and dedication right there 964 964points reply View More Replies...

View more comments "The rise of social media has decreased the reliability of information because misinformation can spread so quickly before it can be corrected," the expert said that one basic thing we can do to check the reliability of a fact is… to start off with a simple and humble Google search. We should be on the lookout for additional sourcing and evidence. If we can't find anything, we should remain skeptical. "Do this and think before reposting or you may be contributing to the problem. Amplification doesn't make a claim true or accurate," he said. #19 factsweird Report Final score: 1.1Kpoints POST OCD Mom OCD Mom Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Aww...!!

View more comments Mike said that sources like Associated Press, Reuters, and The New York Times can be considered to be trustworthy. "They employ fact-checkers and editors that ensure the information they post is correct. They're basically doing the research and homework for you. There are literally too many online sources to list that can't be trusted and should be avoided. Anyone can basically post anything they want… proceed with caution," he told Bored Panda. "Our attention spans have been reduced to mere seconds at a time because that's the way information and entertainment is fed to us now. People get tiny bite-sized bits of news by scrolling a Twitter feed, they entertain themselves by scrolling quickly through Instagram and TikTok. It's creating a habit that doesn't have to be," he said. #22 factsweird Report Final score: 1Kpoints POST Lovin' Life Lovin' Life Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago I love this!

View more comments The 'Weird Facts' Instagram project eventually grew so large that its founder decided to branch out and create a trivia learning app. There are over 900 random, interesting, and genuine facts that you can learn and then wow your friends and family over dinner with. Some trivia might sound strange, true, but it's all been double and triple-checked by 'Weird Facts.' Bored Panda has analyzed the topics of media literacy and how we can distinguish between true and false facts in quite a lot of detail before. Last week, I spoke to Steven Wooding, who is a member of the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom, who elaborated on what kind of mindset a true, curious, impartial scientist ought to have. "Scientists have to be curious about how the world works and persistent in their work, as it may take years for it to pay off. Creativity to imagine what might be possible and attention to detail to gain knowledge are also very important," Steven told Bored Panda during an interview. #4 factsweird Report Final score: 1.3Kpoints POST OCD Mom OCD Mom Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago You go, ladies! 1036 1Kpoints reply View More Replies...

One experiment doesn't make a fact. A fact comes from experiments that can be repeated and verified many times over." According to the researcher, the advent of internet newsfeeds and platforms like TikTok and Twitter has shortened our attention spans. As a result, we tend to have a lower tolerance for long-form content that requires more focus and energy from us. #7 factsweird Report Final score: 1.2Kpoints POST OCD Mom OCD Mom Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Good boi! 955 955points reply View More Replies...

View more comments "If you feel you are time-pressured, it's probably only natural that you don't want to invest a chunk of time on one article but instead scan the headlines to get lots of little bits of information. I have certainly noticed myself being less likely to read a long article unless it's something that genuinely interests me," he said that on the one hand, we're saving time, but on the other hand, we're staying at a very superficial level of information. "The negative impact is that we won't reach a deeper level of understanding of something and end up missing out. This is ironic, as people today rush around trying not to miss out on things," Steven told Bored Panda. #10 factsweird Report Final score: 1.1Kpoints POST Sheila McEnany Markowitz Sheila McEnany Markowitz Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago This really moooooves me... 931 931points reply View More Replies...

"Red flags to watch out for that a claim may be fake: it's outlandish, it's too good to be true, you haven't seen the claim anywhere else, you've never heard the source, the source isn't reputable, you can't find two other sources making the same claim, your gut tells you, 'this can't be true,'" Mike told shared with Bored Panda. #16 factsweird Report Final score: 1.1Kpoints POST Vasana Phong Vasana Phong Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago True love and dedication right there 964 964points reply View More Replies...

View more comments "The rise of social media has decreased the reliability of information because misinformation can spread so quickly before it can be corrected," the expert said that one basic thing we can do to check the reliability of a fact is… to start off with a simple and humble Google search. We should be on the lookout for additional sourcing and evidence. If we can't find anything, we should remain skeptical. "Do this and think before reposting or you may be contributing to the problem. Amplification doesn't make a claim true or accurate," he said. #19 factsweird Report Final score: 1.1Kpoints POST OCD Mom OCD Mom Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Aww...!!

"They employ fact-checkers and editors that ensure the information they post is correct. They're basically doing the research and homework for you. There are literally too many online sources to list that can't be trusted and should be avoided. Anyone can basically post anything they want… proceed with caution," he told Bored Panda. "Our attention spans have been reduced to mere seconds at a time because that's the way information and entertainment is fed to us now. People get tiny bite-sized bits of news by scrolling a Twitter feed, they entertain themselves by scrolling quickly through Instagram and TikTok.
