Randfacts is a Python module that generates random facts. You can use randfacts.get_fact() to return a random fun fact. Disclaimer: Facts are not guaranteed to be true.
randfacts can either be installed via pip or via the AUR, whichever way you prefer.
$ pip3 install randfactsVia your AUR helper, like paru:
$ paru -S python-randfactsOr manually
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/python-randfacts.git && cd python-randfacts
$ makepkg -siimport randfacts
x = randfacts.get_fact()
print(x)The above example will print a random fact like:
Penguins can't taste sweet or savory flavors, only sour and salty ones
This package has a filter option to filter out potentially inappropriate facts. The filter is on by default. To disable the filter, you can just set the filter_enabled parameter to False.
from randfacts import get_fact
print(get_fact(False))
# or
print(get_fact(filter_enabled=False))get_fact also has a parameter that will make the function only return unsafe facts. This argument takes precedence over the filter_enabled argument. For example:
print(get_fact(only_unsafe=True))If you want to access the list of facts directly, you can just import the safe_facts, unsafe_facts, or all_facts lists from the randfacts module.
randfacts can be executed via the command line with the following commands:
Normal execution; only SFW (safe for work) facts
$ python3 -m randfactsThe unsafe argument can be supplied to provide only NSFW (not safe for work) facts
$ python3 -m randfacts --unsafeThe mixed argument can be provided to provide both SFW and NSFW facts.
$ python3 -m randfacts --mixedMore help.
