Blufr: A terrible name but a pretty good concept
For a while there I had a concept for creating a series of blog posts containing completely unresearched and unsubstantiated statements that could sound true, but are difficult to prove either way for an average person. Like: “On average, hand washing a fork consumes more energy than hand washing a spoon.” Or: “One adult sheep weighs as much as about 20 wool sweaters.” I just thought it’d be fun. Kind of makes you appreciate (not that I need a reminder) that there is A LOT that you don’t know for sure.
Well, I’m sad to discover that there is already a whole website with a similar concept. It’s blufr, and while you might have trouble pronouncing the name of the site (why not bluffr?), you won’t find it difficult to get addicted to it. It gives you one statement per screen, and you get to choose if it’s a bluff or not. No login necessary, just start clicking. Kind of like Hot or Not! And the points you “earn” as you guess correctly seem so arbitrary, but they sure make you want to guess again. Pretty clever. I just wish I had thought of making a whole site first!
