17 Statements That Are True... Kind Of

Few places on the internet tell the whole, unfettered truth. Too many people and communities online have their agendas, narratives they want to create, and sides they want us to take. With everyone being so opinionated on the internet, it's practically impossible to find a piece of information that hasn't been skewed to fit a certain bias or benefit someone's grand plan.

Reddit's /r/technicallythetruth aims to combat this epidemic by providing you with the truth, at least technically speaking. This community is dedicated to hilariously literal interpretations of everyday statements, phrases, and scenarios. It pokes fun at the nuance of the English language while also providing you with chuckles along the way. Whether it's a sign that takes its wording a bit too seriously or a response to a question that's accurate, but not quite right. This collection aims to highlight some of the best examples of people's attempts at providing the whole truth, failing miserably.
