35 People Share Things That Are ‘Technically True’ And No One Can Argue With This Logic (New Posts)
It’s no secret that the internet is one of the best places for people to blare out their opinions. After all, it’s easy to be right and even easier to be wrong. But if there’s one thing that many of us find truly entertaining, it's stumbling upon a clever comeback that is technically true, but very far from what we expected.
Enter the Technically The Truth subreddit that documents the best and most amusing posts floating around the web. While the members of this group might not give you the actual answers you were looking for, you can't argue that they are still pretty hilarious.
From cheesy puns to ludicrous responses, take a look at some of the best posts Bored Panda has selected from this online community. Continue scrolling and upvote the ones you enjoyed most! And if you’re hungry for even more ridiculously obvious responses, take a look at Part 1 of this post right here.

Yeah! Let The Bear In, He Is Your Mascot After All.
Unfortunately, the species of bear depicted on the California flag, the California Grizzly, went completely extinct in the 1920s, mostly due to “loss of habitat and over-hunting by a rapidly growing human population” (https://capitolmuseum.ca.gov/state-symbols/state-animal-grizzly-bear/). So we could also say you can’t put a bear on your flag then a few years later make it extinct.
At bare minimum, let it bare its thoughts at the meeting. Or is that too unbearable? GOODNIGHT FOLKS!
Can you spare a moment to talk about our lord and savior Smokey the Bear?

Sounds like it but that's how you keep knowledge: books and database are far from enought, we need alive, thinking people who know their thing. Better if it's free education though.
That is a good point that hadn't occurred to my but it's absolutely right.

Load More Replies...Since its creation in 2017, the Technically The Truth subreddit has been steadily growing and becoming a powerhouse of more than 2M truthers, as the moderators like to call them. Members of this community share the hilarious comebacks, obnoxiously literal puns, and dad-joke-worthy replies they come across online, and the forum has become a great source of entertainment for many. After all, who doesn’t enjoy letting out a few genuine laughs?
There’s a particular type of wordplay that gives a joke the dubious distinction of being a dad joke, Stanley Dubinsky, an English professor at the University of South Carolina and co-author of the book Understanding Language Through Humor, told The Atlantic.
You see, polysemy (from the Greek meaning "many" and "signs") is the coexistence of several meanings or uses for the same word. "Most jokes rely on some semantic ambiguity or grammatical ambiguity," Dubinsky said. "The things people call 'dad jokes' are the ones where the ambiguity is crushingly obvious."

Or....we could all just grow the f**k up, realize that religion was something that was thought up as a means of keeping the uneducated, idiot masses in check.....and stop looking for some sort of prize at the end of life. This is all we get.
One reason why parents are fond of such clean and simple humor is that they feel some amount of loss and nostalgia when they see their kids grow up. "You don’t have children anymore," he explained. "One way to get back to that time is to go back to the stupid old jokes they used to think were funny."
Yet, this phrase is often associated with immature or sometimes even dense jokes. "One of the things about language is that we judge the sophistication of our peers by how sophisticated they are with use of language. Your smartest friends can use deadpan sarcasm, and your smartest friends can get it when you’re deadpanning sarcasm," Dubinsky explained. So when a person is telling a lame joke, the listeners are often quite disapproving.

The last outsider who set foot on North Sentinel Island was an American missionary in 2018 and he was promptly killed by the locals.
I think they have the right idea. Live on a tropical island and shoot arrows at people who come asking if you have accepted Jesus as your lord and savior.
Yeah, and they don't do that just by xenophobia, their first contact with european resulted unsurprisingly in atrocities commited by us. They learned they needed to keep us at bay to be at peace.

I cant wait until we have cameras on wings tiny enough and with the distance to visit them secretly and learn about the only human civilization untouched by the world.
Yes, I really hope we can learn a lot more while not bothering them.
Load More Replies...I think they were the pacific islanders. These ones are not cannibals from what i know.
Load More Replies...They, unfortunately, do have to be constantly vigilant for every disease on Earth, as they cannot survive contact with the rest of us. However, they do seem to continue to be very healthy and living a fine, fine life. I love that these people exist and that they learned very fast when first contact happened. I wish we could know them, if I could know any secret of history, it would be to know a tiny bit of theirs, but oh, it's beautiful that we can't. They chose a different priority, they have neighbors who were contacted and now offer some heartbreaking tourist packages, pretending to be "primitive" people. If John Chao hadn't been killed for breaching the shore, he easily could have killed off the people through a pathogen. My only concern was that they would still catch something from him. Regardless of his devout words, he was planning an assault and was killed for acting with murderous intent. They simply are defending themselves.
I wonder if the island in Iceland (I can't remember the name of) that sprang up from the sea and only certain researchers are allowed on has been affected? Like, did they have to stop everyone from going there during covid, since the aim is to study an ecosystem that is not impacted by humans?
Uhh

Even if some say that such humor is childish, naive, and sometimes very cringe-worthy, it’s hard to deny that it’s also very charming. Dad jokes are usually clean, quite generic, brief, and require no additional context or explanation. When the English professor tells someone a dad joke, "you know that no matter what I say, my joke won’t hurt you—and I want everybody to get my joke, so I’m going to make it so stunningly obvious that anybody can get it."
Ofcourse

Looks like stars can look buff in movies but have casual body irl, it can help with body image to realize that. Those picture are not shamefull for him.
Not to mention they sometimes get really unhealthy to look good, like being super dehydrated to make their muscles pop. Its not sustainable or good for them.
Load More Replies...Yeah....this is what happens with body builders, as a rule. They get jacked during competition season, then when they aren't training 8-12 hours a day, 7 days a week....but still having to consume the same high calorie diet to maintain muscle mass....they chunk out. However....look at his arms, and his chest....and even the shape of the torso (aside from the beer gut)....he's still packed with muscle. Which means it's not really the same thing as the brunt of the american populace who's idea of exercise is walking to their car to get more fast food.
To all those saying that this is fat shaming....yeah, so what? I mean they're off the mark, because as i already pointed out, body builders have to maintain high calorie intake in order to maintain muscle mass, even when they aren't training, whether for competition or a film. But since he's still packed with muscle, which burns more calories just by sitting on your ass, he will take it off quick. This is different than the 40% of the US population that is obese, the 75% that are overweight. They aren't body builders....they aren't healthy, they account for $250 billion in health care spending, and $1.3 trillion in lost productivity because they get winded standing up. This is not something that we should tolerate, let alone celebrate, particularly when something like 15% of children under 7 are classified as obese.

Somebody That I Used To Knowwwwww
Yeah, but his one song touched the soul of the world for a while, so if he never does anything else, it's still more than most of us will ever do.
Plus that guy made more money off one song than Ive probably made working all my life.
Load More Replies...He still makes music, it's just that his usual taste is more niche and unlike the one hit wonder.
I don't understand the hatred for the one hit wonder. Someone brings joy to thousands or millions with a single act and its viewed as a bad thing. Its like telling someone they suck because they gave a kid a free ice cream cone but didn't give them one for their other hand too.
I wholeheartedly agree!! These people do more for the world's happiness with that one-hit--wonder than most of us combined. I think, it's just envy. Oh,, and let's not forget the artists that are starting to be succesfull and are then accused of 'selling out' -_- As if life isn't hard enough for people working in the entertainment biz. So annoying.
Load More Replies...The cover by Walk Off the Earth, where all 5 band members play this on a single guitar together, was really beautiful, better than the original, IMO!
Dubinsky explained that people might be attracted to this type of humor since they want to receive a momentary break from their everyday burdens. After all, laughter is a great form of stress relief.
Just by letting out a chuckle or two, you can quickly notice several short-term benefits. A good laugh can stimulate your heart and other vital organs, and enhance your intake of oxygen-rich air. Plus, it activates and then relieves your stress response, leaving you feeling calm and at ease. Not to mention that it can also stimulate circulation and help your muscles relax, which reduces some of the physical symptoms of stress.

I might have told this on here before, but remember pagers were a thing for a while? They are called "pieper" in Dutch. In some parts of the country they call potatoes piepers. Some genius advertised in the newspaper, sold bunches of potatoes for (insert cost of a pager minus a few bucks to make it a good deal)
If you catch yourself giggling on every occasion you possibly can, you might also notice some long-term effects, like a stronger immune system. Laughter is also famous for making the body produce natural painkillers, so it’s a great way to relieve pain. Then, you have your naturally improved mood: "Many people experience depression, sometimes due to chronic illnesses. Laughter can help lessen your stress, depression, and anxiety and may make you feel happier. It can also improve your self-esteem," according to Mayo Clinic Staff.

I’ve been to Mt Rushmore. Not very exciting. Would’ve been way better if they’d just f*****g left it alone.
I'm amazed how many times I see a post like this and people are like shocked that there was something there before. Like what did you think Mt Rushmore was carved out of? Did you think they glued the statues on to a flat wall of nothing?
Not sure about unprecedented, because there are quite a few of those cliffs in the world, but, yes, it is not really something to be proud off, anymore.
Having a good chuckle not only helps you cope with troubles and challenging situations but also lets you lead a more exciting life. So if you want to receive your daily dose of humor, just take a quick look at some funny pictures, hilarious posts, or technically true comebacks, and you’ll probably be smiling in no time.
Such A Tragic Story
Instead of calling it a romance you could say "Romeo and Juliet" was about a 3 day relationship between a 13 year old and a 17 year old that resulted in 6 deaths.
True. We already know Romeo is fickle. He was so in love with Rosaline to begin with and ready to kill himself over that 14-year-old a couple days later.

I never walk out of a movie, but I was fully ready and could see nothing redeeming this film for me. However, my friend was watching it, so I stayed seated and didn't complain so she could enjoy it, because I'm a good friend. She's also a good friend, so she stayed seated and didn't mention a word about how much she hated the movie and wanted to walk out until it was over.

I walked out on Oliver Stone's "W". It was just too soon after his administration for me to watch it comfortably. Little did I suspect I'd eventually see him as a (comparative) genius statesman.
I walked out of Rocky Horror Picture Show. This was before it became a cult favorite with the toilet paper and toast. Later on, I went to many midnight showings, armed with toilet paper and toast.
