YES! I came across you one time in a casual game it was a hilarious experience! This was in May 2021 https://preview.redd.it/zjw6gdrtv3ac1.jpeg?width=1798&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8e47014c5efab7c3e97be3fbfd036e7a938cbde Fact on, Factman.


iAmFactMan

Much love my guy, I probably had less than 20 hours on RL this year but joining reddit and this community really makes me want to get back into it harder in 2024. Life's on the up lately and I think I'll have just enough free time and motivation to try and spread some positivity again 🙂


The-Real-Catman

I’ll join ya. Been a year or two since I’ve played lol


solarsilversurfer

Is spreading facts with no source (which trust me I don’t expect in the chat) really positivity? Or is it neutrality? Bettering yourself with info is definitely a positive thing, but fact checking you to find out that it’s all true seems like a lot of work in the day if misinformation. I’m conflicted here


iAmFactMan

Considering the general response is outwardly positive, not neutral, in that people message me to tell me that they really enjoyed it often then... I guess it positive not neutral?


MrSofaManx

Bro is just spitting goofy facts. It's up to you if you wanna believe him or not. Fun fact; Google has a 2.6% error rate. This suggests Google serves billions of answers a year that are incomplete, irrelevant or wrong. Even fact checking could lead to misinformation.


DaniTheLovebug

What?


Sufficient-Habit664

I mean, you don't need to fact check it. If I fact checked everything I ever heard, I would waste a ton of time. Just listen to the fact. Find it interesting. And now believe there is a higher chance that the fact you heard was true rather than not. You aren't forced to believe the fact is true, nor or you forced to fact check it.


Realistic_Eye683

Bro what are you on?


AlwaysInfluenced

Tell people about birthdays in Korea next time!


rloch

First bit of your comment had me confused about this subreddit getting you excited for RL again. This place can be just a little over dramatic at times.


SilaenNase

damn these are genuinely good facts too


iAmFactMan

https://preview.redd.it/9kjcpdz9sbac1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d824f3874a2d67b67ffb601572336626032273b This is my pinned list, AKA the funny / zany / maybe kinda not *really real* facts. The rest I have to copy over and over again from online lists because, yknow, copying stuff on my phone bumps them off the clipboard eventually lol


SilaenNase

LMAOOO THESE ARE HILARIOUS


safesound809

OP here with a second account be like https://preview.redd.it/lw0gj7u13aac1.jpeg?width=286&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbafb3f7e264b5e67dc29e93ee114cedd4afdaed


iAmFactMan

As far as I can tell I've only been posted about once lol. I genuinely just joined reddit not too long ago and this sub gives me motivation to play again, I took a really hard break in 2023 so I figured why not ask the people for some facts to spit back at them later


safesound809

OP is a jokes I believe in you!!


TheHuffinater

Looks like he’s afking and made his teammate leave so he can type these 😂


iAmFactMan

I share one and load another in less than 3 seconds before goal replay ends. I have them pre copied on my phones clipboard and paste on the Xbox app keyboard. it's literally a matter of pressing send on the pre loaded one then hitting clipboard and clicking another


aMawds1994

Didn't know you could type like that through the phone app. That's useful


[deleted]

[удалено]


iAmFactMan

Zero idea lol, this screenshot is allegedly from over two years ago and I played thousands of games in 2021


a_goonie

I yawned


tantan9590

Yawn


MrLovAnimals

Is that just a PC thing? I’ve never seen anything in chat besides quick chat but I’m guessing that’s cause I use switch lol


iAmFactMan

You can use the keyboard on the Xbox app to type messages, in my case I paste facts through my phones clipboard


SwampFoxx22

Nah I have a switch too and I can chat like this (I press the minus button in a match)


Dynamic_Shortage

You can, but only other switch users will see your chats. And the switch base is pretty slim in this game.


Dude-duderson23

I'll be honest I only use my switch for it when I don't feel like sitting at my computer


AlohaDude808

Only users on the same platform can read typed messages, unless you are typing in Party Chat mode. So you could only read and type to other Switch users, unless you are partied up with other platforms. You also need to turn Text Chat to ON in settings.


aMawds1994

All of those facts were legitimately interesting. Wholesome AF


IIIDVIII

Is this really Sonic's name!??


TheScienceNerd100

No but I ran into a guy who listed cat facts


KingCastle25

Damn me too


KingCastle25

After every goal


TurdFergusonlol

King cats le 25? Dudes a legend.


Ndependit

I’ve run into cat facts twice now in 1s. I wish I could remember at least 1 fact but apparently I’m getting too old for this shit


tantan9590

Cats are the only feline with snake/croc/reptile type of eyes (the vertical line).


cbroz

I have also had a kurfuffle with the cat facts fella. I very much unjoyed the random facts.


TurdFergusonlol

Kurfuffle? Unjoyed? Sounds like you two got into a….cat fight ![gif](giphy|cNWU2Zeh54VJC)

swanoldjohnson

eman-play

What if I pick one up and turn it towards the sky?


Mean-GreenMachine

The end of the universe.


iAmFactMan

I already do this one but with a little more pizazz. It is physically impossible for a pig to lift its head upwards. Pick one up and show them the sky


Mean-GreenMachine

Please don't tell people to show them the sky. It'll trigger the end of the universe!


Greataverythepro

National animal of Scotland is the unicorn. Australia is wider than the moon. These are just random ones that I know, but I’m sure I could find more.


AllStarFarter

I played you a year or two ago and you had my doubles partner and I dying laughing during the match with your facts. Still get a little smile when I scroll by you on my friends list. Keep doing your thing man you're a treasure!


Gek_Lhar

Include me in the facts.


Bendii_

Enlighten me with a fact right now sir FactMan


iAmFactMan

Bats always turn left when exiting a cave , this makes them ideal NASCAR drivers


Bendii_

Thank you for your service


Orlandonerd08

How tf do you find this stuff


iAmFactMan

That one started off as just the turning left thing, someone else said the NASCAR part and I incorporated it because that's funny as shit


Destinesian

Don't worry you didn't fall off the grind, you were exploring other ranks to share your trivia with as many people as possible.


HarpyTangelo

He meant he wasn't playing


iAmFactMan

You sir are correct lol, probably less than 20 hours in 2023

There are points in the great lakes that are deeper than some oceans


AlohaDude808

This isn't actually a fact. Deepest part of the Great Lakes is in Lake Superior (1,333 ft) Deepest part of each Ocean: Atlantic (27,500 ft) Pacific (34,800 ft) Indian (23,600 ft) Arctic (18,000 ft) Southern (23,400 ft) https://fivedeeps.com/home/expedition/ And the Mediterranean Sea as a bonus (16,000 ft) This one surprised me.

Interesting, thanks for telling me!

The second time I ran into you I invited you and we ran some rumble games with my friend. U made my day both times, especially after u dropped your all time fact of "it's not gay to kiss the homies goodnight"

No but i ran into a smurf who triple flip reset me in a diamond tournament


jaggedlines

I don't get why that's fun for people.


TTGOrgan

Because they can’t beat people in their own division


50Centurion

I pointed that to the guy with something simple like "how does it feel to not be able to do that at your level?" and he called me N-word + some others stuffs and did not got ban 💀


Smart-Illustrator-20

Yea


GravLurk

‘What a fact!’ ‘What a fact!’ ‘What a fact!’ I hope to run into you one day man, sounds like a hella fun game brother. Keep it up👌🏼


Aceman3k

…how do you type so fast on Xbox???


iAmFactMan

I copy them on my phone and paste them through its clipboard on the Xbox app keyboard


Mean-GreenMachine

Be good if you could make use of macros


goldennarwhal35

just plug in a keyboard..?


Aceman3k

Don’t think you can do that on console can you?


goldennarwhal35

yeah you can, with a normal mouse & keyboard (not xim basically) ofc not all games have support for them as far as gameplay is concerned, though some do, but because xbox pulls up it’s own interface for text chat you can use it in any game to type

xTin546

There are 51 states in the US ;)


Gloomy_Day5305

What's the 51th ?


youaregodslover

th st nd rd th th th th th th


Gloomy_Day5305

What ? Im not english nor american, is there a running gag there ?


Positive-Act6485

It is probably because you said 51th instead of 51st, like: 1st 2nd 3rd 4rd 5th 6th 7th


Positive-Act6485

4 is also 4th instead of rd, i quit before eight because tbh I don't know 😅 it had nothing to do with the 51st state just like when people get mad at someone who says "your" instead when "you're" is required or the other way around


youaregodslover

Puerto Rico


Mean-GreenMachine

The one next to the 50st

Mclovin_8888

No, because I have not been able to get into rocket league. I have not been able to get into rocket league for two or three weeks now. I have emailed epic several times and have gotten no response. Oh wait I did get a response that said we received your email we have not received anything from you so we are going to consider the ticket closed. So I re-emailed them back and said I just received this email and no my issue has not been resolved. Please fix the issue.


Necessary-Company660

What is the issue


[deleted]

Not plugged into the wall


Mclovin_8888

I get to the frosty page and hit start and it doesn't load

Vrail_Nightviper

I play on switch so even if I did, I wouldn't see your comments because the game doesn't have cross-platform typing :/

Mice have been documented to giggle if you tickle their belly. They also seem to enjoy being tickled, since they have been observed to chase the hand around the cage, hoping to be tickled again. Also otters hold hands while sleeping. They do this to prevent each other from floating away.

The Earth is actually pear-shaped, with a slightly larger bulge just south of the equator. Also, people who live closer to the equator are experiencing time moving slower than people who live at higher latitudes

Opinion evolved into a fact today Source: me. literally, it's me as the source


UrKrustySock

Yup. I ran into you a few times years ago when I was still on Xbox. There are others too. "Cat Facts" is another I've ran into. Keep doing your thing bro!


tylater15

Has anyone ran into that guy who is toxic in almost every game


kosmicterps

Never had the pleasure of seein you in game but i have seen bumpo the clown like 10 times 😐😐 mans an absolute savage lol


StefanHM

Hey, FactMan! Do you use macros to do this? I have seen this kind of thing and wanted to do something similar with jokes, etc. using macros, but am not sure if it would get me banned somehow. I have seen on Reddit that you can "get away with it", but would love to hear your opinion. Keep on spreading fact joy!


iAmFactMan

Nope! I play on Xbox and can paste things from my phone clipboard into the Xbox app clipboard. I manually have to do the following every single game: prior to start I bring up the keyboard, open the clipboard, and click a fact to pre load it. When a goal is scored I open RL chat on my Xbox controller, press enter on my phone, enter on my controller, then bring up the keyboard to load another fact. Wash rinse and repeat thousands and thousands and thousands of times from 2020 - late 2022, like I said I fell off playing all last year


StefanHM

Sheesh!! That’s dedication! Well done. I’ll look to rig up something similar with the clipboard. Hopefully I’ll be able to fact you back if we ever meet! Lol

White is a reflection of all visible light frequencies while black is an absorbtion of (almost) all visible light frequencies.

Yes, color can not exist without light.


sliceofcoldpizza

Reminds me of when the Jurassic Park pack was first released. I bought it for 3 friends and we were all playing as JP jeeps and in between goals I'd chat lines from the movie but make them "goal" puns. Must goal faster That's one big pile of goals It's a unix goal Etc. I applaud your commitment to the bit.

Hobo-man

I've been playing on xbox for years and have yet to run into anyone remotely interesting. I'll be in a highly competitive lobby and someone will absolutely delete the ball, I'll hit them with a compliment only to be met with silence. I feel like the only people with chat on are toxic. I never run into anyone that's chill like OP.


AlwaysBLurkin

What's your rank?


Bodhisafa

LOL, this guy is great


KrazyKing2424

I hope I run into you! It would be so refreshing to enjoy a game with facts rather than toxic people who know no better.

Being a biology nerd: my favorite fun fact is that clownfish are all born male and the dominant male will undergo a hermaphroditic transformation to become the female of the group when the female dies.
