You take some gently caress, then some poo poo, then some gently caress, then some poo poo

You get a gently caress-poo poo stack.

windows 95 didn't come bundled with a video for weezer's buddy holly. it was actually windows xp, but somehow our collective consciousness has transformed it to be windows 95 over the years. another weird case of the mandela effect

-oid means to resemble something, think of "humanoid" to mean stuff that's shaped like a human.

a factoid is something that seems to resemble fact, but might not be.

it could still be a fact! but it isn't necessarily.

So it sounds like you’re saying that a factoid doesn’t need to be true, but it should be truthy.
