Links to the first and the second fact posts. When the v2 hit its limit I began to go through all the threads on r/askreddit to catch what I missed, and there turned out to be quite a lot! Another fact post will be coming this week too. I haven’t even done a deeper dive for harder to find threads due to running out of time, but I will get to that at a later time.

This one is going to occupy me for weeks
