Finding the truth online can be quite a challenge, which is why platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have introduced fact-checking policies to help filter the vast amounts of information they host. Still, some falsehoods manage to slip through the cracks. Despite the ongoing battle against misinformation, there’s still some truth to be found online — especially on Reddit’s /r/technicallythetruth.
This subreddit is a treasure trove of interactions in which people take things a bit too literally, sometimes missing obvious context or nuance. It’s filled with statements that are technically accurate but not entirely correct, often highlighting a playful or overly literal interpretation of the facts. Here’s a collection of comments that, while truthful on the surface, reveal just how tricky language and interpretation can really be.
