Many of us are exposed to a massive, constant stream of information every single day. Not just at work but during our leisure time, too. And with so much data to process, it can be hard to distinguish between real facts and twisted truths.

That’s the topic that internet user u/Leefiey tackled in a r/AskReddit thread. At times, you can end up in confusing situations where some bizarre-sounding facts and stats are actually true, even though they genuinely sound fake. We’ve collected the top ones, as revealed by the people in the thread, to share them with you, Pandas. Scroll down to check them out. They might just change your perspective on science and history.

Bored Panda wanted to learn about the reliability of statistics, so we reached out to Steven Wooding, a member of the Omni Calculator project, as well as the Institute of Physics in the UK. Steven is the creator of interesting tools like the Weird Units Converter, among others. Read on for his insights.

Ancient egyptians had their own historians.

By the time of Cleopatra, there were records of egyptians 'discovering' stuff about the pyrimad of Giza and others, and studying early egyptian practices. Cleopatra lived closer to modern day than she did to the building of the Giza pyramid, so that makes sense, but still.

Those f*****s had been around so long that even Egypt thought Egypt was ancient.

We were interested in what to keep front of mind when considering the possible reliability of statistics. Steven, from the Omni Calculator project, was kind enough to share his thoughts on this.

"Check the statistics are from a reliable source and up to date. In addition, a very important number to check is the sample size: A larger sample size is more likely to represent the whole population. However, the sample must also be representative of the population and not biased, so check what methods were used to ensure these critical points," he explained to Bored Panda.

"Another aspect is to check the margin of error of data points. If they are too large, the data points effectively overlap so that no solid conclusions can be made. Finally, check the same data from multiple sources or studies to see if they agree," he suggested.

These 45 Mind-Boggling Facts Seem Unreal But Are Totally True I saw a scale model of the earth, moon and sun in a museum. The sun was about the size of a basketball, and the earth was on the opposite side of the room, the size of a small marble, I'd guess about 30 metres away. The moon was the size of a tiny pinhead, about 10cm away from the earth.

On this scale, the nearest star to earth, Proxima Centauri, wouldn't be in the same building, or even in the same city. It would be 10,000km away.

And that's just one star, the nearest one to us, in a galaxy containing billions of stars, which is just one of billions of galaxies.

The scale of the universe really is mind bogglingly big. Far bigger than we can begin to comprehend.

Bored Panda was also curious as to why using statistics can make a claim seem more trustworthy. "Statistics can provide a sense of objectivity," the Omni Calculator representative said.

"When you see a statistic, it can be easy to think the claim is based on hard data, not just someone's opinion. This can make the claim seem more credible, but of course, the statistic itself could be made up," Steven noted.

"It often happens that someone's guess at a statistic becomes pseudo-facts. For example, 'You only use 10% of your brain,' which any neuroscientist will tell you is wrong."

Fake news is a very broad term that encompasses a wide range of different types of false information. For instance, fake news in the narrow sense is literally a collection of made-up stories that are presented as though they were true, the Walden University Library explains.

However, that isn’t the same as biased stories which are based more on propaganda and opinions. And that, in turn, is different from clickbait that sensationalizes and exaggerates headlines for the sake of, well, clicks and greater ad revenue.

Other forms of fake news include satire—parodies of real events for the sake of humor and entertainment. You'd be surprised how often people fall for them: folks often read the headline and share it with their friends and followers without bothering to read the text itself.

Another subtype is astroturfing where political or religious organizations or sponsors create the illusion that their message is being shared by small, grassroots organizations. By creating the appearance that the local community is behind it, they then draw in more and more people.

ADVERTISEMENT

Among other types of fake news is native advertising which looks like a collection of news stories but is simply meant to promote a certain product line. While incomplete news stories simply lack the proper background and context, and are examples of poorly-researched journalistic pieces.

With so much junk, bias, and lies out there, it would be completely impractical (not to mention utterly exhausting) to double-check every tiny little claim by yourself. Doing your own research is very important. But at some point, you have to start applying strategies for spotting fake news.

ADVERTISEMENT

Some key things to keep in mind, according to the Walden University Library, include evaluating the news source, as well as the author of the piece. Dig a bit into what kind of reporting they do, and how (un)reliable it is. Though everyone makes mistakes at times, not every source is equal. An outlet’s track record for being right or wrong, factual or sensational, is what matters.

Meanwhile, do your best to read beyond just the headline and opening couple of paragraphs. If you have the time, read the entire thing and try to get a sense of the entire story. Read a few more articles on the topic from different sources to compose a more detailed and nuanced picture of the events. Moreover, take the time to see how the sources back up claims and stats: take a peek at the sources that they themselves rely on.

Substack writer Gurwinder Bhogal, who runs the popular ‘The Prism’ blog, had a very creative and unusual approach to tackling the rise of misinformation. In his opinion, instead of censoring fake news, we should instead embrace it because then people will be more wary of misleading facts. In other words, being constantly exposed to misinformation creates a sort of immunity to it.

He argues that we should “let misinformation spread so it becomes a clear and constant presence in everyone’s life, a perpetual reminder that we inhabit a dishonest world. Deception is part of nature, from the chameleon’s complexion to the Instagram model’s beauty filters, and it will never be legislated away while life still exists, so let’s stop trying to prevent people from seeing lies, and instead teach people to see through them.”

Yes, this is absolutely true. In fact, you can even see it as our bones changed over human evolution, becoming thinner and more delicate, particularly the skull, and particularly in subsaharan Africa and East Asia populations, which is highly correlated with increased sociability. However, we still have a ways to go, and there are still many who need our help and compassion. But I like to remind myself of this fact when I hear something that really makes me hate all of humanity for a few seconds...
