Wait. Why is this community called “factoid” if you’re posting true things.

A factoid is either a false statement presented as a fact, or a true but brief or trivial item of news or information.

Yep and in general those that know what factoids are wouldn’t visit this community looking for things that are true. And since it has a “dual” definition (due to people misunderstanding it) it’s generally not a good name to use anyway.
