Editorial & fact-checking policy

A fun tone is never permission to make a factual claim up.

Topic selection

We choose questions that have a clear answerable intent and enough credible evidence to explain responsibly. We do not manufacture bizarre premises merely to publish more pages.

Source standard

For scientific and technical claims we prefer peer-reviewed research, government agencies, universities and established scientific institutions. Secondary explainers can be useful, but they do not override primary evidence.

AI-assisted workflow

Software and generative-AI tools may assist with research organization, drafting, editing or code. They are not treated as factual sources. Published claims are checked against the sources linked on the page, and unsupported specifics are removed or clearly labeled as uncertain.

Medical boundary

Human-body articles explain general phenomena. They do not diagnose readers, recommend individualized treatment or replace professional care.

Dates and updates

Pages show a reviewed date only when the page has actually been checked. We do not change dates solely to make old content look fresh.

Corrections

If you spot a factual problem, email hello@facttoon.com. Corrections should improve the existing page rather than hide the history behind a new URL.
