See below.
But as my conspiracy nut friend says, Google is a liar!

You blink 15-20 times per minute.

See me shinning my eyes for 30 seconds without blinking just to defy that fact
Exactly. I no believe that 15-20times thing. Maybe 2-20times per minute would be more realistic.

Yes, there are trees in the Milky Way, but as far as we currently know, they are all located on a single planet: Earth.

​Since Earth is located in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way, every tree you see is technically "in" the galaxy. However, if you are asking whether trees exist on other planets in our galaxy, the answer is more complex.

So yes there are more trees on Earth than there are stars in the sky. This is a perfect rephrase of No. 10 statement

Nothing in the list above should shock anyone who is an avid reader.
We don't have readers again, just people who skim through things and are easily distracted...

So is mumber 22 - pure NONSENSE!
Perhaps, the statement wasn't phrased properly, but it's actually true.
If it's possible to count the number of possible moves from the start of a game till it ends in a checkmate or stalemate, there are way more possible chess games than the entire atoms in the universe.

But I disagree with number 10, where u stated that 'there are more trees than stars in the milky way'
that’s not even part of the wrong facts on this post.

A day in Venus one year?
How come, when Venus is closer to the sun and has a shorter rotation time than earth?

I totally disagree with Number 26
Re: 50 Facts That Sound Fake But Are 100% True by Bahamas95(m): 8:18pm On Dec 18, 2025
I've confirmed it now that number 5 is true.


I watched a documentary some years back where archeologists discovered some bottles of honey in the tomb of one of Egyptian ancient pharoahs......They said it was still ok for consumption.

Dreams last only secondshuh

You mean all those Scene 1, Act 2 and adverts in your dream is just in seconds? I disagree with this 50 shades of lies grin

You mean to tell me what Joseph/Yusuf had that is written in Abrahamic books is only some seconds and even God spoke to him in seconds? Na lie angry smiley

Those of us who go back to sleep to continue a sweet dream don't believe this. Anyhow sha, 1hr = how many seconds? tongue
QuinQ:
Well, consider, a guy was headbutted durring a football match and he briefly passed out for a few minutes. Durring that time he went to school, graduated, married his sweetheart, and they had kids... only to then wake up being put in an ambulance!

There's something about this our existence that is not real
Here's a version of the TRUE story

Sorry for Mich. That scenario the person who quoted me gave, the first person to come to my mind was Vivian Foe of Cameroon 😒 but he didn't wake up.

Wait! What do you mean by that statement in number 15? Time moves slower at your feet.

Wow! number 3 is correct. I just googled it.

Number 5. Yes, I know that naa. My ex-girlfriend used to sell honey.

At number 28, my friend, don’t play on my intelligence. Oya, explain.

At number 34, are you sure? I once had a 72 minutes marathon action thriller dream.

At number 38, me too, I have been suspecting them.

At number 40, absolutely correct.

At number 42, who said it is round before? I knew it’s spherical since my kindergarten days

At number 44, before nko? But my favorite specie has green blood.

Mehn! Where is Seun and Mynd44? This is the most educative thread that I have seen in 2025.
