Truth or Myth: The 2-Hour Prediction Game That's Breaking the Internet

https://truth-wave.lovable.app/
1•liltofu•1h ago

Comments

liltofu•1h ago
We built a simple game that's become oddly addictive: submit any statement, guess if it's truth or myth, then watch the community vote for 2 hours before the answer reveals. Recent submissions:

"I can lick my own elbow" (87% voted Myth... they were wrong) "Bananas are berries but strawberries aren't" (23% voted Truth... plot twist!) "My cat learned to open doors by watching me" (62% voted Truth)

What started as a weekend hack has people obsessively refreshing, debating everything from bizarre personal stories to counterintuitive facts. The 2-hour timer creates this weird suspense where you find yourself genuinely invested in whether someone's grandmother really did invent velcro. The magic happens in that gap between human intuition and reality. We're consistently terrible at distinguishing truth from fiction, especially when it comes to:

Personal anecdotes that sound fake but aren't "Facts" that sound true but are complete nonsense Edge cases of science/history that defy common sense

Try it: https://truth-wave.lovable.app/. Submit something that will make people question everything they think they know. Fair warning: you might lose your afternoon to this. Built with: Simple voting mechanics, real-time updates, and way too much curiosity about human gullibility.
