About Who Knew Daily

The internet is full of “fun facts” that are not true. Goldfish with three-second memories. Napoleon the tiny tyrant. Vikings in horned helmets. They get copied from list to list until nobody remembers where they came from.

Who Knew Daily is a home for facts you can actually repeat at dinner. Every fact comes with a receipt: a link to the source we checked and the exact words on that page that back it up. One tap shows you the evidence.

What you'll find here

• Fact files: themed collections of 10 to 15 surprising facts.
• Myth busters: popular claims rated Verified, Myth or Disputed.
• Fact of the day: one new fact, every day.

Our promise

If we can't find a reliable source that says it, we don't publish it. If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Read how we make this site, or send us a correction.
