OddlyTrue is your daily dose of bite-size facts from around the world—weird, delightful, and occasionally useful… usually not. We cover curious science, quirky history, surprising laws, food oddities, language twists, animals, space, and more. Each short drops one clean hook, three quick beats, and a punchy payoff you can share. Expect accessible explanations, playful visuals, and a light “useful-ish” vibe that never takes itself too seriously. New shorts every day. Subscribe for fun facts, weird trivia, and “did you know?” moments you’ll quote later. Weird, but true.

Is your country doing the opposite—or the same? What do people around you think about inflation and borrowing costs?
