Q & A
Why did you make this?
Great question. A few reasons:
- It’s something to pass the time and I think it’s funny.
- I’m wanting to put renewed effort into things that I’ve made in the past, Daily False Facts being one of them.
- As an added bnous, it’s surprisingly stimulating to just think to yourself, “what’s something that’s not true?”.
Are you the original creator of this site?
Yeah.
What is a False Fact?
A sentence that is not true.
How can I spot a False Fact?
First, try saying the sentence out loud and then ask yourself, “does that sound like bullshit?” If you answer Yes, then it’s probably not true — you should investigate further to be sure.
Is this / Are you serious?
No, this is a joke site. You’ve gotta believe me.
History of Daily False Facts
For now, I’m going based off my memory here.
- I created a blog on Blogger / Blogspot called Completely False Facts and Statistics, where I posted False Facts and False Statistics posts every (alternating) day.
- After realizing that Daily False Facts was a better name, I bought the domain name and stuck a WordPress site on it using a shared hosting provider.
- After submitting the site to PointlessSites.com, it gained traffic and was able to grow into a nice little community of fellow enthusiasts of false information.
- (Plenty of details that I don’t completely remember.
TO-DO) - Eventually, DailyFalseFacts.com had became unbearably slow and was beyond what I could improve or fix, leading to the site’s closure.
What am I planning?
I have an idea or two, but not anything to warrant the ominous wording of this question. My goal is to keep Daily False Facts light-weight.
The Daily False Facts Fakenewletter (weekly)
I thought a Fakenewsletter sounded pretty funny. It’s just a weekly round-up of the posts in a week. It being weekly instead of daily is also part of the joke and I’d appreciate laughter about it.
AI
I feel like this one’s pretty obvious, but I want to be thoughtful about whatever I use it for.
- AI World of False Facts: A sub-site that’s made up entirely of AI generated false facts based on your input. At last, you’l be able to get on-demand false information whenever you want it.
- AI Videos: It sounds like it could be funny to make a AI-generated video based on a false fact, or maybe a group of them.
In general, I like and appreciate what AI makes possible when combined with some additional effort. AI by itself and on its own is boring to me.
