A community dedicated to the lowest quality facts.
While the community is named after the mastodon account Low Quality Facts it is not required to post related to that account. As long as the post is low enough quality, it belongs in this community.
A low quality fact could be a few things:
- Something blatantly untrue but stated as a fact
- Something true but stated in a way that makes it sound made up
- Something so blatantly obvious it doesnt need to be said at all.
Examples:
"Louis Armstrong stored jelly beans in his trumpet, which he would discreetly eat during his performances."
"If you took a persons digestive system and stretched it out end to end, it would hurt a lot."
"Whales are notoriously bad trumpet players."
Posts can be in whatever form best displays the low quality fact.
RULES
1: Be civil. No racism or any of that non-sense
2: Only low quality facts!

Nice. How many stars are there in the galaxy?
At least 12.
Estimated to be between 100 and 400 billion.. pretty vague though.
TIL that while there is more sand on earth then stars in our galaxy, there are vastly more stars in the universe then grains of sand on earth.
But there might be more grains of salt on earth (including dissolved in the ocean) then stars in the universe.
