I was looking through the book of Android phone apps yesterday…
…and came across an app called “Useless Facts,” a free app with over 9,000 “fun facts” supposedly designed for frivolous entertainment, which offers this as their one example fact:
Oh. That’s not very fun. It’s actually the opposite of fun.
That’s their example to make me want to download the app? Is the app actually full of amusing facts, and they just chose a poor representative example, or even worse, is this example actually the least depressing fact from the app? Are the other 8,999 all various calculations of the 9/11 death toll? USELESS N’ FUN!!!!
I guess my real question is, is there a way I can download this app but have it count as just downloading it to objectively see how perverse it is, without actually counting it as me downloading the app? Crap. Guess the example worked.
