About Oddly Verified

Because the best stories are true.

Oddly Verified is a corner of the internet dedicated to the kind of facts that make you stop mid-scroll and think: "Wait… really?" From history and science to culture and everyday life, we collect and share fascinating bits of knowledge that are surprising, delightful, and sometimes just plain weird — always true, always worth knowing.

This project was started by Jourdan Laik, a bit of a professional curiosity collector. Jourdan is also the founder of Working Against Gravity, a nutrition coaching company, the creator of Seismic, a nutrition training software platform, and a recording artist on Spotted Peccary Music. Oddly Verified is his outlet for exploring another passion: discovering the kinds of facts that expand your perspective of the world in unexpected ways.

Think of Oddly Verified as a museum of the internet’s most surprising truths — no velvet ropes, no dusty placards. Just the kind of knowledge that makes you lean back and say, "Odd. I never knew that."
