2. Cracking your knuckles doesn't hurt your bones. The sound you hear is just gas bubbles bursting.

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.

6. A child is unable to dream about themself until they are 3 years old.

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.

Submit
7. Having brown eyes is actually a mutation. Before the mutation occured, all humans had blue eyes.

Explanation

Actually having blue eyes is actually a mutation. All humans had brown eyes.

Submit
8. A person needs to be asleep for 2 hours in order to have a dream.

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.

Submit
9. The human brain is a lot more active throughout the day than at night.

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.

Submit
10. The first McDonalds resturant that opened had a line that was 5-6 miles long.

Explanation

The statement that the first McDonald's restaurant had a line that was 5-6 miles long is not true. This claim is fake because there is no evidence or historical record to support such a statement. It is highly unlikely that a restaurant, especially a new one, would have such an incredibly long line.

Submit
11. Around two thousand frowns creates one wrinkle.

Explanation

This statement suggests that frowns contribute to the formation of wrinkles. Wrinkles are commonly associated with aging and repeated facial expressions, such as frowning, can lead to the development of lines on the skin. Therefore, it is plausible to believe that around two thousand frowns can result in the formation of one wrinkle.

Submit
12. Scientists estimate that you will fall in love 7 times before you get married.

Explanation

This statement suggests that scientists have estimated that, on average, individuals will experience the feeling of being in love approximately 7 times before they decide to get married. This implies that people may go through multiple romantic relationships or infatuations before finding a long-term partner.

Submit
13. The longest movie ever happens to be 87 hours long.

Explanation

The statement is a fact because it states that the longest movie ever is 87 hours long. This implies that there is a movie that has a duration of 87 hours, making it the longest movie ever.

Submit
14. Shaving causes hair to grow back thicker.

Explanation

Shaving facial or body hair gives the hair a blunt tip. The tip might feel coarse or "stubbly" for a time as it grows out. During this phase, the hair might be more noticeable and perhaps appear darker or thicker — but it's not.

Submit

Submit
16. Lil Wayne lost his virginity at age 12.

Explanation

Submit
17. According to researchers, Monday mornings are so depressing that on average, humans don't crack a smile until 11:00am.

Explanation

It's until 11:16am actually.

Submit
18. Men have nipples because, as an embryo, everyone is a female until the X chromosome kicks in.

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."

Submit
19. Tom Kenny, the voice of Spongebob Squarepants, is also the voice of Mojo-jojo in the powerpuff girls.

Explanation

This statement is false. Tom Kenny is the voice of Spongebob Squarepants, but he is not the voice of Mojo-jojo in the Powerpuff Girls. The correct answer is "Fake!"

Submit
20. The longest game of monopoly lasted 57 days.

Explanation

The statement that the longest game of Monopoly lasted 57 days is fake. While Monopoly games can indeed last for a long time, the claim of 57 days is not supported by any credible evidence or record. The duration of a game can vary widely depending on various factors such as the players' strategies and luck, but it is highly unlikely for a single game to extend for such an extended period.

Submit
21. A human being loses an average of 60-100 strands of hairs a day.

Explanation

This statement is fake because it states that a human being loses an average of 60-100 strands of hair a day, which is not true. The average person actually loses around 50-100 strands of hair per day, but it can vary depending on factors such as age, genetics, and overall health.
