in an attempt to increase the forum's trivia knowledge by searching the interwebs more, i have created this brand spanking thread.
basically the user above gives a prompt which can be anything (object, events, etc.) and the poster gives a slightly corrupted fact about said prompt.
eg.
poster 1: "coca cola"
poster 2: "the coca in coca cola stems from the traditional way of drinking coke where people stuff cocaine into the coke first."
explanation: the original coca cola used cocaine as an ingredient. it has nothing to do with the drinking method
poster 2: "indonesia"
poster 3: "it is said that indonesia is still stuck in the past because off the 2010 aff championship"
explanation: indonesia lost the final of the 2010 aff championship as favourites to fucking malaysia of all people and malaysia is living off a 15 year old trophy to brag about it any time they can. fuck them lots. anyways the saying itself does not have any connection to said competition whatsover. we just suck as an economy.
poster 3: "mao zedong" and so on and so forth
the fact itself can be as simple as common knowledge or deep enough where only yourself knows it. try not to give any explanations to your fact to promote fact searching (notice the quotation marks on the examples, it encapsulates the fact but not the explanation)(tbh i really dont care if people fact search or not, i just wanna give a good excuse for people to not write entire essays explaining their facts (also i think it would be really funny having broken ass facts but no explanation)) but honestly it is up to you if you want to give explanations or not.
also try giving a more general prompt so everyone can search if they have no clue about it.
also also if mods thinks this is better in forum games then we can take it there.
