The IQ point is not only false but easily googled. 2nd is a woman, next woman on the list if 5th.

Random fun fact #1349534: These facts are still neither funny nor factual.

#2 Oedipus complex?

It's worded as poorly as these tend to be researched.

#3 sounds like they're trying to drown the ones they 'like'

Just to clarify: Teddy Roosevelt's wife and mother were two different people.

I’m just surprised no one told me Roosevelt was married to his mom.

Foxflarez
It says fun fact but the content is just a list of opinions and blatant lies.
Ryanator50
yeah especially the one about nineties kids not being 18 yet
ILikeSciFi
I love how these 'fact' dumps have taught me to doubt everything I see that doesn't have sources.
littlegingerone
Pretty sure people born in 1999 are 19 at the moment.. at least keep your dump up to date

Circle and purple rhyme. Change my mind. *holds up coffee mug

Circle and purple are only marginal rhymes, not true rhymes.

Crazy how Teddy Roosevelt married his mother... Sad about her death though.

Is the Disney one legit? I'm too scared to check lol

if it sounds too good to be true it probably is

Politics is actually related to the word polity. And poli doesn't mean many. Poly does.

Harry Potter fans being less authoritarian is horse shit.

Shit I was born in 1986 and you don't see me bragging about living in a bunch of centuries

The nail polish one doesn't actually exist. It is just a concept.
SesshouFan22
It was created but the work stopped, in part, because feminist blogs ranted about it being sexist and how women shouldn't need to do that
srslydude
“Women shouldn’t need to wear pads, it’s sexist.” Well I’m not going to let you bleed all over my stuff so fuck off. Feminazis are vile
PacoBootsySanchez
I like these posts bc I can jump to the comments and watch the rest of imgur call bullshit

You would find less bulshit on a fucking farm.

If you want to strip any of the civil rights from the Bill of Rights away from me, you are actually VERY authoritarian. Nice try!

They’re canids, the same family as dogs, but they are closer to foxes than dogs or wolves.

Prob what happened to the guy that thinks #8 is still correct

OR when you get into the job field you are ALLOWED to use computers to help you solve problems, so I think it's a good idea to teach kids

that you can use calculators and any other tool to help you succeed in life.

When literally all of the years listed are now above 18
Jumacao
And it's not even that big of a deal. People born in the late 80s lived in 3 decades, two centuries and two millennia before they were 18
Crumply
People born in 2000 are legally adults this year
Placentaur
Yup. 98'er here. Just turned 20 this past weekend
goldenchickenmaster
I was gonna say, I was born in 98 and just turned 20
NZSouthernMan
And they still think they are 90s kids
MsMax75
Why is it 1995-1999? Would all the be true for 1990-1999?
Andalite
If it had been made back then, sure. But this is at least 6 years old now
vetcareassistantchris
At the time of writing, the "not even 18 yet" wouldn't have applied to those of the early 90s, I assume
dualplains
It's the 'not even 18 yet' bit. I think that "fact" is probably from, what, 2012 or 2013?
Andalite
2012. I was '94 and turned 18 in 2012
blackoutdigital
Also millennia. Who tf says millenniums

Born is 1995 now 23 old fact I think :/

Reading this hurt my brain more than those facts did

#6 is bullshit. Politics derives not from two Latin roots but from Ancient Greek πολιτικος 1/4
HaberdasherInGold
They butchered a joke and tried to pass it off as fact.
GaucheDawn
Yeah I downvoted the whole post for that reason. Lol
DirtRagFartStain
I always downvote these because they're 95% incorrect 100% of the time.
Templarfreak
I think they're more trying to point out the coincedence. Poli is a real latin root and tic is a word.
[deleted]
[deleted]
Templarfreak
I believe "tic" is it's own suffix as well, but drawing it to "tick" is definitely stretching it.
4x4play
yeah, titling this facts when you don't research but just repost is why OP is bad at life.
CaptainSmartass
The “fact” is from an old Dave Barry joke.
LeWqtEstUnAnimalAquatiqueNocturne
(politikos, "of”, "for", or "relating to citizens") which itself derives from πολιτης 2/4
LeWqtEstUnAnimalAquatiqueNocturne
(politēs, "citizen") with the -ικος (ikos, "of or pertaining to") suffix.
LeWqtEstUnAnimalAquatiqueNocturne
Latin, in fact, borrowed heavily from Greek over the centuries, politicus included. 4/4
Yavin1v
they never said that their connection was the etymology of the word though
RandomVoiceFromTheInternet
I mean, they even spelled poly wrong just to try and make it work. And Tick is from Middle English and probably originally Germanic.
Sweetnlowdaddy
You must be fun at political rallies.
xAsterik
Beat me to it. It just sounded completely wrong
Yavin1v
they never said that their connection was the etymology of the word
xAsterik
It was most certainly implied, as they broke it down into a false Latin root and prefix. How is that not implying the etymology of the word?
Yavin1v
i saw it as them separating it into 2 words and choosing specific meanings to make a joke, they do say "if we combine"
xAsterik
They try to say it’s fact. Combining them doesn’t mean anything, and it’s intentionally misleading.
