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 that sector, even though finding a job or applying that information practically will be difficult.

But now we have the internet. It's difficult 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 a lot of made-up facts in it.

Because it can seem so convincing, it can be difficult to tell what is true and what is untrue. 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 really 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 like how two unrelated persons lived at the same moment in history or that all of the Solar system 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 its surroundings and other nearby living beings.

Curiosity, on the other hand, is the want to know the solution, and it is this desire that distinguishes us.
