Our Editorial Policy

We write short daily emails about things most people believe that turn out to be wrong. We aim to surprise you, make you laugh, and leave you knowing something true.

Where the facts come from

Every issue starts from one published source, and the facts in it come from that source: Wikipedia's lists of common misconceptions and its article summaries, myth-versus-fact pages published by U.S. government agencies and universities, and Wikiquote. Each issue names its source.

The jokes are ours

We write the humor ourselves. The surprise at the heart of each issue comes from its source.

How issues are made

We use AI tools to draft each issue from its source. A separate AI system, from a different company, then compares each batch of issues against their sources, and we rewrite or remove anything that contradicts its source.

Health and safety

Any issue about the body, illness, food safety, drugs, alcohol, first aid or mental health is held to a stricter rule: before it is published, any claim that comparison finds beyond the source is cut.

The Site Does Not Provide Medical Advice

Our emails and websites are for information and entertainment only. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have about a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you read from us. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately.

Corrections

We stand behind what we publish, and we want to hear when we get something wrong. If you spot an error, write to corrections@thinkagainmediagroup.com and name the issue. We read every report and fix what is wrong.
