82 Puns And Loopholes So Technically True That Arguing Would Be Pointless

Have you ever asked someone, "Do you know what time it is?" and they just answered with a flat "Yes." Technically, they're right. They are also exhausting and insufferable. But these hardheaded technicality lovers have gathered under one roof, and it is a cringeworthy space.
The r/technicallytrue subreddit is where the loopholes live. Members post puns and screenshots that follow the rules of English so literally that arguing back is pointless. A hand is something you can always count on, and a wine order of "right now" answers the waiter's question about the year. You can't win these. You can only laugh, grumble, and send them to the friend who started it all.

That brings us back to r/technicallythetruth itself, now home to millions of members who vote on whether a post earns its place. The bar is strict, and the best entries pass without anyone being able to argue. The appeal is that you get to be completely right in the most irritating way possible, and the only real response you can give is a groan and a share.
