Cracking your knuckles doesn't hurt your bones. The sound you hear is just gas bubbles bursting.
-
Fact!
-
Fake!
Correct Answer
A. Fact!Explanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that when you crack your knuckles, you are not actually causing any harm to your bones. The popping sound that you hear is the result of gas bubbles, specifically nitrogen, being released from the synovial fluid that lubricates your joints. When you stretch or manipulate your fingers, the pressure in the joint changes, causing the gas bubbles to rapidly collapse or burst, creating the popping sound. This process is harmless and does not cause any damage to your bones or joints.Rate this question:

A child is unable to dream about themself until they are 3 years old.
-
Fact!
-
Fake!
Correct Answer
A. Fact!Explanation
During the first few years of life, a child's brain is still developing, including the part responsible for dreaming, the prefrontal cortex. As a result, children under the age of 3 may not have the cognitive ability to recall or process dreams in the same way adults do. While infants and young children do experience rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is associated with dreaming, their dreams are likely to be less complex and vivid compared to those of older children and adults. Therefore, it is a fact that a child is unable to dream about themselves until they are 3 years old.Rate this question:

A person needs to be asleep for 2 hours in order to have a dream.
-
Fact
-
Fake!
Correct Answer
A. Fake!Explanation
The statement that a person needs to be asleep for 2 hours in order to have a dream is false. Dreams can occur during any stage of sleep, including both REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM sleep. REM sleep, which is associated with vivid dreaming, typically occurs in cycles throughout the night, with the first cycle happening after about 90 minutes of sleep. Therefore, it is possible to have dreams even if a person has not been asleep for a full 2 hours.Rate this question:

The human brain is a lot more active throughout the day than at night.
-
Fact!
-
Fake!
Correct Answer
A. Fake!Explanation
The statement that the human brain is a lot more active throughout the day than at night is fake. The brain is actually active throughout the day and night, although the activities may vary. During the day, the brain is engaged in various tasks such as thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making. At night, during sleep, the brain is still active but in a different way, processing memories, regulating body functions, and restoring energy. Therefore, the statement that the brain is more active during the day is false.Rate this question:

Men have nipples because, as an embryo, everyone is a female until the X chromosome kicks in.
-
Fact!
-
Fake!
Correct Answer
A. Fake!Explanation
The statement that men have nipples because everyone starts off as female until the X chromosome kicks in is false. While it is true that all embryos start with the potential to develop female characteristics, the presence of the Y chromosome in males triggers the development of male characteristics, including the formation of testes. Nipples, on the other hand, develop in both males and females as a result of early embryonic development before sexual differentiation occurs. Therefore, the presence of nipples in men is not related to the process of the X chromosome "kicking in."Rate this question:
