| A highfalutin' term for making shit up. Throwing one of those around could land yourself in [[Internet court]]. Before saying that an [[opinion]] is a fact please consult the following source and consider it's message before using phrases like "it's a fact" as an order to us for subscribing to your opinions. This sentence = not fact, just opinion, lulz points deducted.[http://pbskids.org/arthur/games/factsopinions/] It would do well to remind [[Ediots|internet pundits]] the difference between a [[bullshit|fact]] and an [[lulz|opinion]].
| |
|
| |
| A '''fact''' is a piece of text pasted from a [[Wikipedia]] article.<sup title="The text in the vicinity of this tag needs citation." class="noprint">[[[Citation needed|''citation needed'']]]</sup> [[100 years ago|In the past]] a fact was something that could be objectively verified as real, according to the standards of proof demanded by [[tl;dr|logical positivism]] and [[Richard Dawkins|scientific realism]]. The invention of The Internet made the external justification of [[opinion|facts]] using peer-reviewed research and education irrelevant, replacing them with [[Google|a plethora of reliable, electronic means of verification]]. For a list of facts, see the article on [[common knowledge]].
