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/]" class="text-indigo-600 dark:text-indigo-400 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">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.^{[[[Citation needed|citation needed]]]} [[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]].
