It’s hard to imagine life without the internet and without being able to google answers to random questions that come to our minds during the day. The whole world’s knowledge, history and art is at our fingertips and we learn so much kind of useless but very interesting information. 

The problem with it is that there are a lot of made-up facts. Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish between what is true and what is false because it can sound so convincing. On the other hand, the world itself is crazy and some events might seem so unbelievable that you would take them for a lie. 

People on Twitter were sharing this kind of random knowledge that sounds fake but is true in a Twitter thread created by @EricMGarcia, who asked “What is a fact that sounds like a s**tpost but is 100 percent real?” These facts challenge the way we see the world and our current knowledge, making them sound preposterous, but they are very correct.

    Not exactly though. The first device that we would recognize as a "fax" came in 1880 with Shelford Bidwell's 'scanning phototelegraph'. It was able to scan a 2D original document, rather than previous machines which required an operator to manually trace over the original with a stylus

    Beckett lived in the same village, and had a truck. If he passed the village kids walking to school, he would stop and let them hop into the flatbed of his truck and he would drive them to or from school. But it wasn’t singular to Andre, it was any kid in the village.

    That's because there has technically only been one Democratic senator from Vermont, Patrick Leahy (Bernie Sanders is an Independent). He's been a senator since 1974.

    This story is make a little more sweet by the fact that they had become enemies during the several presidential elections, but had grown to be friends again eventually despite entirely different views on how America should be run.

    Ghandi sickens me to the core. He was a hypocrite, treated women as objects and forbade married couples from having sex, or even touching each other. Look it up. Typical powerful man behavior that has always been and likely always will unless we continue to bring to light these historical atrocities and demand the truth be told!
