Basically the entirety of pregnancy/childbirth. Like, this other living organism embeds itself in the lining of my uterus, feeds off my blood, makes me grow an entirely new organ (the placenta) just to feed/protect it while it grows, then it comes out while basically still gestating (other mammals babies can walk and run within minutes of birth, ours can’t even hold up their giant domes!) just because the hole I have to push it through won’t be big enough for its head if it stays in any longer.

Oh, and once I’ve done all that I get to have the longest and worst period of my life while my uterus sheds out 40 weeks of uterine lining.

I’ve had a kid and it still f***s me up.

Honestly nothing is more creepy than how deep sea anglerfish mate.

The deep sea is dark, and the anglerfish are spread very thinly. Therefore, when an anglerfish meets another anglerfish, it’s incredibly important they get the chance to mate over and over again. The evolutionary strategy that deep sea anglerfish devised is extra creepy. The male latches onto the female, biting her and never letting go. That way he can inseminate the eggs she drops. Not that bad so far right? But wait, how does he eat if he’s latched on his mate?

Well, the circulatory systems fuse and the female provides nutrients for the male through this fused circulatory system. The true horror starts here. The organs of male start to wither and atrophy, being absorbed into the female. Eventually, the male is reduced to a lump of testicles the females use to fertilize their eggs. Females are often covered in bumps of several males that have melted into the female, becoming a literal body horror lump of meat on the female.

well as the males are born from a female, if you think about it more, isn't it just an organ the female disposes, letting it grow outside of her, and when it joins her she claims it back?

One of the weirdest, and most sad (I think anyway) brain disorders I have ever heard of is called capgras syndrome. Essentially, your brain causes you to not be able to recognize anyone anymore, and you think they have been replaced by an imposter. Kind of like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. What is even weirder is if you close your eyes and hear their voice, you recognize them, but the second you see them, you think they are the imposter! Worst of all is there is no way to fix it!

Yeah. I'm taking an online cognitive psych course to prepare for applying as a mature student in university and they had an activity where you have to find your blind spot. Then it explains that the area that signals leave the eye to your brain doesn't have any cones or rods. So you can't see in that spot. The reason you can't actually notice your blind spot is because your brain fills it in for you based on what's around the spot and what it typically would see in that spot normally.

The universe is unbelievably infinite, while simultaneously unbelievably infinitesimal.

The universe has ~10^22 stars, a rough guess. This is an unfathomably large number for humans to comprehend, but bear with me. There is roughly 100 thousand million stars in our galaxy alone, and there are roughly 125 billion galaxies.

A single drop of water contains ~10^21 H2O molecules, not too far off from the number of stars in the whole universe. A very similar number, but contained in a single drop of water!

It blows my mind that the universe can contain such mind boggling numbers of things on such wildly different scales. There is so much to reality that the human mind just isn't capable of grasping.

Yet the alternative to being truly infinitessimal is more bizarre, yet true: at a certain point, the law of physics break down until there's another certain point at which even space itself is quantumized. Still wilder, this means there's a finite amount of information in the universe.... and that information survives a black hole. Which means if the universe actually IS massive enough to contract back on itself, all of reality can be thought of as a projection of information from a single point in space. (I don't say space and time because time also breaks down with density.)

No, incorrect. Violets get their scent from ionone. It's an extremely sweet scent that many people describe as also being dry. "Powdery" is the word that's usually used. Another word is "ethereal," or "ephemeral." After stimulating scent receptors, ionone binds to them and temporarily shuts them off completely. This substance cannot be smelled for more than a few moments at a time. After that, people go anosmic to it. Then, after a few breaths, the scent pops up again. Because the brain hasn't registered it in the preceding few moments, it registers as a new stimulus. Although plenty of people don't like the scent of violets, they don't constantly overpower people, and they don't fade out.

This one shocks most people. Our brains do most of our decision making for us, and then let us know about it once we're already committed. If we "ask" it why we're doing something it will come up with a reason, but this reason is often nonsense that doesn't hold up to close scrutiny. Oliver Sacks covered a lot of this in his excellent and very readable books.

Humans are bioluminescent (nothing to do with body temperature). We emit visible light that can be photographed in specific conditions. But, this light isn't visible to us. Which makes it a strange thing to have evolved, and begs the question

"what organisms is this light visible to, and why?"


Edit: Adding an edit for all the comments explaining evolution... Please read the thread before commenting. I find this a creepy fact due to implications on interspecific relationships, NOT because I think prehistoric humans went shopping for a bioluminescent hat with a specific motive in mind.

Not exactly scientific or creepy but, it's close enough and I want to contribute.

Mouth pipetting was a thing in labs in the 1980s. A pipette is, for simplicity sake, a glass straw that lab staff would use to transfer liquids. Now a days we use special bulbs, that when squeezed, would suck up the liquid for us. Kinda like a turkey baster or eye dropper.

Before we had these bulbs lab workers had to use their mouths to suck up the liquid. Which meant if they weren't careful they'd get whatever they were sucking up in their mouth. I'm currently training to be MLAT and those fluids would usually be urine, liquid stool, sputum and so on.

Edit: So mouth pipetting is still a thing. I'm Canadian and I've been told that it is rare or none existent in our labs.

Years ago I saw an episode of *Monsters Inside Me* where this guy was doing something outside and a fly flew into his eye. It only made contact for about a microsecond, but it was enough time for it to lay eggs. After they hatched they started eating his eye from the inside and he was starting to go blind until a doctor figured out what was wrong.

Just imagine that, getting your eye eaten from the inside and losing your sight all because a fly *very* briefly made contact with you. Ever since I learned about this I get really paranoid when there is a fly around my face because of the fact that this could possibly happen to me.

- Out of all our DNA, only 2% codes for our genes.

The 98% leftover is called "junk DNA". I'm not specialised in genetic, but it was long thought to be useless but it's apparently essential for DNA expression regulation and protein formation.

- There are familial forms of alzheimer's disease. They are very rare but they exist, it doesn't skip a generation and one of the form makes you have the disease as early as your late 20's/early 30's.

- In Auschwitz, Joseph Mengele, a nazi doctor who conducted experiment on twins, sewed up 2 twins together for sh**s and giggles and let them die after the surgery of infections. They apparently screamed of pain for days until dying.

- You can live "normaly" with half your brain removed. It's usually done on young children suffering from terrifying epilepsy and the surgery is the last resort. It works quite well and if done early enough, with reeducation, the children develop normally without cognitive deficit, they "just" are blind from one eye, have one very weak arm/leg but they are not cognitively affected : some go to college, get married, have children and live completely normal lives.

Literally everything that you know or feel or experience in total is just a series of electric impulses and nothing else.

That’s not scary to me at all. My world doesn’t change because I’m aware my soul consists of biochemistry and electrical impulses, I’m all good.

There is something called "the squeeze," where when people had old scuba suits with tubes, you could actually get sucked into that tube if the pressure was off. You are literally shredded through your own breathing tube.

Here's a good one: your eyes are an exposed extension of your brain.
