public fact

Read a random definition: link

A quick definition of public fact:

A public fact is something that is true and can be proven. It can be about a person, thing, or event that happened a long time ago. Public facts can be used in court to help decide who is right or wrong. They are different from private facts, which are things that are not meant to be shared with others.

A more thorough explanation:

A public fact is something that actually exists and is known by the public. It can be a tangible thing, an actual occurrence, a relationship, or a state of mind such as intentions and opinions. It can also be an event or circumstance that is not disputed and is accepted as true.

For example, it is a public fact that the Earth revolves around the sun. This is a scientific fact that is widely accepted and known by the public. Another example is that it is a public fact that the United States declared independence from Great Britain in 1776. This is a historical fact that is widely taught and known by the public.

Public facts are important in legal proceedings because they can be used as evidence to support a claim or defense. They are also relevant in invasion-of-privacy claims, where a fact that is in the public domain is not considered private.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
