30 Twitter Users Share True Facts That Are Simply Too Weird To Believe
“Hitler, Stalin, Trotsky, Tito, and Freud all lived within 2 square miles of each other in Vienna in 1913.” Nice neighborhood.
People are curious animals that want to know things even if they don't directly benefit us. Some of us even go to university to study subjects that aren't very practical, but we simply want to gain knowledge in those areas, even though finding a job or applying that information practically can be difficult.
But now we have the internet. It's hard to fathom a world without the internet and the ability to research answers to random questions that arise throughout the day.
We have access to the entire world's knowledge, history, and art, and we learn a lot of useless but fascinating information. The issue is that there are many made-up facts within it.
Because it can seem so convincing, it can be difficult to tell what is true and what is false. However, the world is insane, and some incidents may appear so absurd that you mistake them for a falsehood.
In a Twitter thread started by @EricMGarcia, who asked, "What is a fact that sounds like a s**tpost but is 100% real?" others shared this kind of odd knowledge that seems phony but is factual.
These truths seem absurd because they contradict our existing understanding of the universe and knowledge, but they are indeed true. We have selected 30 of the most interesting answers.
Take a look; maybe you will learn something new.

People are inquisitive animals that enjoy learning new things, even if it does not directly help us. Even if it is worthless information that you can't use for your own survival, we derive pleasure from discovering facts, such as how two unrelated people lived at the same moment in history or that all of the Solar System's planets would fit between the Moon and the Earth.
Information seeking isn't only a human characteristic. Every animal investigates its surroundings and seeks to learn more about their environment and other nearby living beings.
Curiosity, on the other hand, is the desire to know the answer, and it is this desire that distinguishes us.
