Happy Groundhog’s Day 2019! I began writing the IFOD on this site on Groundhog’s Day two years ago. The first IFOD was The Interesting Number Paradox.

Since that first IFOD, the site has received over 123,000 clicks. Over the two years I’ve sent out 457 IFODs. The email list has just under 700 subscribers (the list started with about 125). These days about 15-20 people a week subscribe and 1-2 a month unsubscribe. Link to subscribe: Subscribe to IFOD

Most IFODs get between 100 – 300 clicks on the day it’s published. There are another 200 – 500 clicks a day of prior IFODs. Most of these come from Google searches and from countries all over the world.

Here’s a running list of all the IFODs: Running List – Archives

The most popular IFODs, all with thousands of clicks are:

  1. Ignorance and the Dunning-Kruger Effect
  2. The Loudest Noise Ever Recorded
  3. Is Math Invented or Discovered
  4. Turning 16 – Things 16 Year Olds Can Legally Do
  5. The Golden Ratio
  6. Which is Bigger – the Stock Market or Bond Market?
  7. Do Lemmings Really Engage in Mass Suicide?
  8. Flat Earth Society
  9. How Many People are 7-Foot Tall?
