The world is full of facts, and if you are as hungry for knowledge as we are, then we've got a whole menu readily available to you. Here at Bored Panda, we have random facts, mind-blowing facts that are perfect for 5 year-olds, facts that can even change your perspective of things, and facts that sound utterly fake but are totally true.

But this time we rolled up our sleeves and compiled a list we can call “the palate cleanser.” You see, this one is not for the faint-hearted, nor for the ones with high blood pressure and a tendency to have a nightmare or two every now and then, ‘cause today, we're gonna dive into the facts we wish we never knew.

You may wonder, why read them, then? It’s for the same reason we watch horror movies with covered eyes. Getting to know some creepy stuff about the world is hard, but not knowing it is even worse.

30 Of The Creepiest Facts People Have Shared In This Viral Thread That Many Wish They Didn't Know After the Pulse night club shooting, when the cops were investigating, you'd think it was pretty quiet in there.

It was actually a cacophony of ringing cell phones. So many friends and loved ones calling people they knew were there, hoping they'll answer the phone and say they're ok...

    30 Of The Creepiest Facts People Have Shared In This Viral Thread That Many Wish They Didn't Know Before you die, your last words could be, "I don't feel so good."

    I was a paramedic for 15 years and heard dozens of people's final words. The phrase I heard most often, possibly from half to three quarters of them, were some form of "I don't feel so good." I've also heard, "Wait, somethings wrong." "Somethings happening." "I don't feel right." "Wait, somethings wrong." "It's happening." "Oh no, Oh no."

    People feel the blood leaving their brain I think. Must be like a rush.

    You’re not the only one to get the creeps from scrolling through this post. There’s something about being creeped out that is both chilling and yet impossible to resist. But what exactly is this creepy feeling we all get? It surely can’t be graveyards, clowns, spiders, or horror movies themselves.

    Frank McAndrew, a professor of psychology at Knox College in Illinois, has been studying this sensation and made a conclusion after surveying more than 1,300 people that “Creepy is about the uncertainty of threat.”

    30 Of The Creepiest Facts People Have Shared In This Viral Thread That Many Wish They Didn't Know On Mt. Everest, you have the rainbow valley, the last zone to climb to reach the peak. Which sounds cute but it's really the colorful jackets of dead climbers who are frozen in time against the white harsh snow.

    Also, when close to the peak, the oxygen levels are so low that the body is starting to die. You only have a few minutes to reach the top.

    More specifically, Frank said, “You’re feeling uneasy because you think there might be something to worry about here, but the signals are not clear enough to warrant your doing some sort of desperate, life-saving kind of thing.” Thus, it’s different from having a fear of something or revulsion.

    According to Smithsonian Magazine, when you’re creeped out, your brain and your body are telling you that something is not quite right and you’d better pay attention because it might hurt you. We become more alert and ready to strike whenever the threat turns out to be real.

You’re unable to move, speak or open your eyes. Unless they have a monitor to show your brain activity, you’re stuck with having to endure the pain.

    Your eyes take time to adjust to the dark, so if the plane were to crash your eyes would be pre-adjusted, thus increasing your likelihood of being able to make it out.

    They also ask that window blinds be opened in order to allow anyone outside to be able to see in in order to check for survivors.

    I was cutting carrots the other day, and commented on how hard they are. My daughter informed me that cutting a carrot is similar to cutting through a finger. How she knows this, I don't know, or want to. She just walked off before I could ask. I did not follow.

    I once did research into bites at a doctor's college, and asked a pathologist what the worst bite is -- expecting an answer of shark, tiger etc. "Human" he says. Not because of the damage, but because of what we eat. Lots of terrible bacteria in our mouths.

    We do have enough power but our teeth would snap off before you actually bite through your finger. Unless you bite perfectly in between the bones and just on the tendons.

    There is a parasite called Dracun culiasis, or more commonly "Guinea worm" that can enter your leg through drinking infected water. You won't notice anything until ~1 year later, when a small portion breaks the skin to release larvae. At this point, it's a meter long.

    A. Meter. Long.

    And it has to be extracted centimeter by disgusting centimeter.

Also your family has to pay for your cremation if you want your body to go "home". Also dont plan on dying far away from where you plan to donate they really dont want to ship you.

    Second hand fact, so I’m hoping I’m right. Dying due to being encased in concrete is horrifying. You don’t crush or asphyxiate so much as burn as the concrete sucks all the moisture from your body; also, it lets off heat as it dries. Probably the worst way to go I can think of.

    Electrosurgery (Google "Bovie") is common in more vascularized procedures because the instrument parts tissue and cauterizes in the process. A surgical grasper instrument can be electrified to pinch bleeding vessels; the blood boils at the pinch and the vessel is sealed and cauterized. Eventually the operating room smells like barbeque.
