About · Funfactorium
Who runs this
I’m Mongrang — Korea-based, and someone who reads too much about everything from houseplants to constellations to oddly specific cocktails. I started Funfactorium in 2026 because the internet keeps making the same trade: more information, less time to sit with any of it. This is my attempt at the opposite. One person, one quiet entry at a time.
Built slowly, published carefully.
Why this exists
A single corner of the internet where someone reads the primary sources.
There’s no shortage of facts online — there’s a shortage of curation worth trusting. I built Funfactorium because I wanted a single corner of the internet where someone reads the primary sources, weighs them, and writes a guide you can actually finish.
The premise is small: 13 categories so far, roughly 1,907 entries, each written before anyone gets opinionated. If a houseplant guide says a plant is hard to kill, that’s because the RHS and three care references agreed — not because the algorithm felt confident.
I’m not trying to be the biggest. Just the kind of site you bookmark when you want a real answer about which cat breed sheds least, or what actually makes a Sazerac different from an Old Fashioned, without scrolling past three ad walls and a pop-up newsletter.

How we work
Methodology, in four lines.
AI helps with the first pass.
Research summaries, draft scaffolding. It doesn’t ship.
A human reviews every entry before publish.
Source verification, license check, factual accuracy. Currently that human is me.
Images come from Wikimedia Commons.
Public Domain, CC0, or CC BY licenses — attribution stays on the page, always.
Corrections matter.
The contact address at the bottom of the page is real, and small fixes usually land within the week. Wrong info is the one thing this site can’t afford.
Last reviewed: 2026-06-11.
New surfaces, same standards
Light formats. Same citations.
What this site is not
Four lines we don’t cross.
Not astrology.
Constellations are about light, history, and culture — not personality or destiny.
Not medical or financial advice.
A guide on a houseplant’s toxicity tells you the chemistry; “call poison control” is the prescription.
Not affiliate-driven.
We accept display ads (clearly labelled). We do not recommend products in exchange for commission.
Not AI-generated.
AI tools assist research and copy passes. Every published guide is reviewed and approved by a named human editor.
A small promise
Slowly built, carefully published.
This site isn’t built to chase you across the internet or win you back tomorrow. The hope is that if you came here once — to figure out which constellation you’re looking at, or whether your hamster needs that wheel size — you close the tab a little more curious than when you opened it.
That’s the whole project. Slowly built, carefully published.
