I used to read a certain fact and debunking site with some regularity. It had science, entertainment, etc.

No, no Snopes.

I used to read [About.com](http://About.com)’s urban legend channel, which was kind of similar to Snopes. It later moved to [Thoughtco](https://www.thoughtco.com/urban-legends-4132595), where it apparently still continues.

Not debunking, but there are a lot of interesting facts (and a good podcast) at [Futility Closet](https://www.futilitycloset.com/).
