About Random Fact Generator

The Random Fact Generator serves up a surprising, genuinely true fact every time you click — and, unlike most fact generators, every fact links to a source you can verify. Choose a topic such as Space, Animals, the Human Body, History or Science, or leave it on Surprise Me for a fact from anywhere. Each one gets a “surprise meter” rating, so you can tell a fun tidbit from a truly mind-blowing one, and you can save your favorites, copy any fact, or share a topic link with friends.
