We recently had a friend excitedly share a fun fact with us. It was nice, but we quickly realized that he learned it from us moments earlier. Which got us thinking: How fast is the turnaround time of the average fact share?
With no hard data to study, you’ll have to be our first test subject. If you have time, please read these, start a timer, then stop it the moment you’ve shared them. Thank you in advance!
