The human body is one of the most fascinating things on Planet Earth. Paradoxically, it’s at once extremely fragile and tougher than you think, adapting very quickly, and designed to bounce back even after serious injuries. Some people move beyond what most of us think our bodies are capable of doing, setting new athletic achievements—David Goggins alone has shown that people can endure far more than they give themselves credit for.

However, it isn’t all gold medals and victory parties. There are some truly disturbing and even creepy things about the human body that would sound like science fiction if we didn’t know better. Folks from the r/AskReddit online community shared the weirdest facts about human biology they know, and we’re sharing the most interesting ones with you.

Scroll down if you want to learn something new. Hopefully, you’ll still be able to sleep at night knowing some of these. Got any unusual facts about our bodies to share with all the other Pandas? We’ll be waiting to read all about it in the comment section.

Bored Panda reached out to health and fitness coach Anna Armagno Toussaint to have a chat about how much exercise and movement people should strive to get every day, as well as what people's biggest diet mistakes are. (Spoiler warning: many of us are eating an excessive amount of sugar.) We also got in touch with the author of the thread, redditor u/BathNo7713, to get their perspective as well. You'll find Anna and the redditor's answers to our questions below.

30 Of The Most Disturbing Things About Human Bodies That Might Freak You Out The brain will protect itself even if it means misery to you or death.

Inhaling smoke in the middle of a burning house? Brain will make you stop breathing and pass out.

Stuck in the middle of a cold place? You will fall asleep to conserve energy and never wake up again.

Does your brain need more oxygen? You faint in the middle of a busy road.

Had your leg torn off by a bear? Here's adrenaline so you can save your brain even if there's a huge risk of infection or further injury.

Is your brain experiencing too much stress? It will make you drink alcohol or resort to drugs.

You and your brain work together most of the time, but when push comes to shove, you are sacrificed.

Health and fitness coach Anna told Bored Panda that she leans more towards believing that the human body is resilient. She opened up to us that she has an autoimmune disease and does her best to see things in a positive light. She knows that things could be much worse off.

When it comes to eating properly, balance is key. "I think people don't eat enough balanced meals. I have been following a great eating guide that encourages balanced meals but is also really flexible so you are never cutting anything out completely. We need more balance," the coach stressed that it's vital for health.

"I do think, at least in America, that we definitely need to cut back on sugar though. It definitely affects my autoimmune issues and exacerbates conditions of friends as well. It feeds cancer. All things are ok in moderation but we don't need to be adding as much sugar to yogurt as a serving of ice cream, you know?" she pointed out that limiting the intake of sugar may be a very positive step for many people.

30 Of The Most Disturbing Things About Human Bodies That Might Freak You Out Period cramps are essentially your womb suffocating itself.

To get the uterine lining out of your womb during your period, your uterus has to contract. Sometimes, when the contractions are stronger, your womb squeezes its blood vessels so tight that oxygen can't reach them, which sends pain signals to your brain (ouch). But wait, there's more – this process increases your production of chemicals called prostaglandins, which encourage more contractions of the uterus. There really is no mercy.

Bored Panda wanted to get a better understanding of how much each of us should strive to exercise and move every day. Coach Anna told us that "any!" movement is better than none.

"Technically, we should aim for 30 minutes a day of movement, but if all you can do is walk around the block, start there," she said that we shouldn't feel bad about starting small and going from there. Any exercise that you can realistically get done is far better than sitting on the couch, grumpy that you don't have the time for the workout you'd ideally like to do.

"You don't have to run a marathon or bench press your wife, but you can certainly get some movement in. Start where you can and don't give up," the coach shared some encouraging words with Bored Panda.

Redditor u/BathNo7713 told Bored Panda that they posed the question to the r/AskReddit community out of general curiosity. "I wanted to know more and wanted other people who read the post to know more too," they told us that their main goals were curiosity and education.

The author of the thread personally believes that the human body is very fragile. In their opinion, the biggest weakness that people have is "the fact that our own immune system can make us blind." Meanwhile, the biggest strength is that "we mostly rely on instinct a way of knowing something without learning it."

The redditor believes that there might not be enough attention given to science and psychology at schools, as many of the facts shared in the thread weren't taught to students.

According to Ruslan Medzhitov, the David W. Wallace Professor of Immunobiology and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Yale, different tissues and organs have different degrees of resilience.

“What makes us really sick, and what can kill an organism, animal, or human, is when the most vulnerable aspect of our physiology—the organs or tissues or processes that have least resilience—are affected enough to push them over the edge,” he explains.

ADVERTISEMENT

One area of our bodies that is extremely sensitive is the brain. Our skulls protect it from hard blows; meanwhile, our internal biology is structured in such a way that it gets supplied with glucose and oxygen at the expense of other tissues. In short, the brain’s a priority for our bodies.

“These mechanisms ultimately increase the resilience of the entire organism because they protect the weakest links in the system,” Medzhitov noted.

It’s important to be curious in life, but it’s also vital that you remain at least slightly skeptical of what you read online. The best approach is to do at least a bit of your own research and cross-check information from multiple reliable sources. Especially if you stumble upon an outlandish fact, whether about the human body or anything else.

During an earlier interview with Bored Panda, media expert Mike Sington shared some red flags to look out for that indicate a claim or fact might be fake.

"Red flags to watch out for that a claim may be fake: it's outlandish, it's too good to be true, you haven't seen the claim anywhere else, you've never heard the source, the source isn't reputable, you can't find two other sources making the same claim, your gut tells you, 'this can't be true,'" the expert stressed that we shouldn’t accept things blindly.

Wounds and bone breaks are actively held together by your body: more specifically, the collagen it produces that acts like glue. If you don't eat enough vitamin C and get scurvy, you won't produce enough collagen—old wounds will reopen and long-healed bones could break apart again.

Collagen also holds your teeth in, so they loosen and can fall out.

Eat some fruit, folks. Don't push that parsley to the side of your plate.

"The rise of social media has decreased the reliability of information because misinformation can spread so quickly before it can be corrected," Mike warned. He advises starting off with a simple Google search to double-check a fact’s reliability.

"Do this and think before reposting or you may be contributing to the problem. Amplification doesn’t make a claim true or accurate," he noted.

When we defibrillate someone who’s in an unsuitable rhythm, we’re basically just shutting off their heart and hoping it will turn back on by itself in a normal pattern. That’s why you don’t shock asystole, there’s nothing to turn off. Defibrillation is like hitting the reboot switch in the computer, hopefully the problem will solve itself when you turn it off and it’ll return to normal function

"Our attention spans have been reduced to mere seconds at a time because that’s the way information and entertainment is fed to us now. People get tiny bite-sized bits of news by scrolling a Twitter feed, they entertain themselves by scrolling quickly through Instagram and TikTok. It’s creating a habit that doesn’t have to be," Mike said that even though our attention spans are shorter than ever, we can fight back against this.

"The good news is there’s plenty of long-form entertainment and news available, you just have to seek it out. I believe the benefit is worth it. I’ve discovered it improves your ability to focus, it’s more calming, you retain more information, and it gives you a more balanced and nuanced view of the world."

30 Of The Most Disturbing Things About Human Bodies That Might Freak You Out If your brainstem (the part of the brain that mediates most motor control for all of the body) is damaged, you can get "locked-in" syndrome. That means you're fully conscious and aware of your surroundings but unable to move or speak. The only muscles that remain unaffected in most people are the muscles that move they eyes and the eyelids. You're essentially trapped within your own body with your only way of communication being blinking or moving your eyes

It can be caused by toxins, blockage of the basilar artery which is the main artery of the brainstem, or other brainstem damage

Your body replaces cells as they mutate or die. However, much like a photocopy of a photocopy, the replacements are a little less perfect each time. Around the age of 28, you are no longer replacing cells effectively.

What that means is after the age of 28, approximately, you are actively in the process of dying because your cells are being destroyed faster than they can be replaced and the replacements are more and more imperfect each time.

People that have sever epilepsy can get a procedure done to cut the corpus callosum which connects the two sides of the brain, and allows them to talk to each other. Once this happens your image identification side can’t talk to your words side, and causes issues if you aren’t able to look at an item with both eyes. Otherwise patients act mostly the same.

So if you were asked to cover you eye that sends info to your language center, and then shown a ball to look at for your object identifying center you wouldn’t be able to tell what it is out loud. Your brain would still be recognizing it, but wouldn’t be able to provide the word for it.

Fortunately it is very rare to get this done these days as medication has become more effective, so this procedure is a last resort sort of thing.

Not sure if this is by design, but I totaled my car once, almost completely uninjured somehow. Then I looked down to my right hand which I remember jabbing into my dashboard at 55mph. Luckily (unluckily?) only my pinky took the blow. But instead of a floppy-udder full of bone-sand, my pinky was 0.5 inches long. Broke no bones, but instead perfectly stacked my phalanges, or finger bones, INTO my hand.

This is fixed by a muscular Russian murse grabbing your pinky with both hands and pulling very hard. God I wish they gave me more lidocaine.


TL;DR: Hit my pinky on dashboard, stacked finger bones instead of fracturing them.

So you know all those random bacteria that live in your digestive tract and help you break down the food so you can absorb the nutrients?

Sometimes those little beasties lose the plot and can start eating the inside of your GI tract. This causes your body to try and flush them out through natural processes (ie: diarrhea), but this doesn't affect the bacteria doing the harm and just causes you to get incredibly sick for months while doctors trying to figure out whats happening.

The symptoms of heart attacks are different from men and women. There is more research on men than women as well. I've heard of multiple people who have died from a heart attack because they went in and the doctors didn't recognize it because it's not the normal symptoms seen from a male.

When someone diets and loses weight, that fat isn't pooped out. Most of what you poop comes from something in your digestive track you consumed. Fat burned is exhaled out as carbon dioxide.

Your skin is your biggest, most complex, and least understood organ. Your skin is what most everyone considers their identity. Your skin has an amazing amount of specialized areas and functions. Elbow skin is very different than the skin covering your ears. Skin is an external organ. It’s an organ that is in contact constantly with the world around you. All of your visible body is skin, except for your eyes and hair and nails. Your skin requires more energy to sustain than any other part of your body. Skin is f****n wild. The actual “you” is wrapped in a big sweaty blanket we call skin.

On the bright side, there is a lot of hypothesizing that our immune systems aren't really healthy without a parasitic infection. Thinking about it, humans didn't reach a point where they wouldn't be constantly infested by parasites until just recently, so that is clearly an unnatural state for our bodies, to not have parasites at all.

Being ignored or rejected has the same effect on the brain as a physical injury. Repeated rejection overtime causes other mental and physical health probkems like depression and ptsd. We never forget the feeling of being rejected or ignored and when recalling the memory you feel the emotional pain again. When we try recall physical pain, our brains do not allow it happen. You know you had pain at the time but the memory doesn't cause the pain again.

Yes - two ways I can think of right away. One, if you have a reaction that swells up your throat and chokes you to death. Two, because if you have something like septicemia and your entire body thinks it's being attacked all at once it opens up the blood vessels of the entire body to allow white blood cells to move in and the liquid seeps out, so now you can't even pump blood, and if you can't pump enough blood to move enough oxygen to your brain you die. All of that could easily happen in minutes.

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a disease that is undetectable, and the cause is not known. It appears when your muscle cells start being replaced with bone cells. Eventually, over year, your body locks up until you're entirely "locked in" and you suffocate.

A few weeks ago I had emergency surgery because I was severely bleeding out internally. The source was a ruptured ovarian cyst. Worst pain of my life. I don’t have PCOS or any reproductive condition and the doctors informed me that everyone with a uterus has existing cysts. It’s a matter of tough f****n luck that one of mine tried to kill me but it could happen to anyone.

People with pancreatic cancer can have a “sense of impending doom” weeks to months before being diagnosed.

Edit: sorry for adding to your anxieties! If you aren’t a middle aged or older smoker, you shouldn’t worry too much about this. If you are…please stop smoking. There are drugs and behavioral therapies that can help you quit. I love you.

Edit 2: as others have pointed out, there are other diseases that have this symptom too. You can freak out about this fact or just take the moral of the story: if you feel like something is wrong, don’t wait (hesitation is defeat). Set up an appointment with your doctor, ask them what it could be and how they’re going to determine what it is. Ask questions and take care of yourself.

That the placebo effect is way stronger than most people think. In Vsauce's video on the subject, a kid suffering from constant seizures stopped having the seizures, I'm pretty sure entirely. And all because they put him in a machine that they said "healed him" when in reality it did nothing.

It works for causing illness too. If you and a group of friends single out one friend and take turn throughout the day telling them things like "oh are you okay, you look a little pale" and "Geez man you look like s**t, are you sick?", by the end of the day your poor victim will likely have real symptoms.

"A chronic disorder of the immune system appears to favor the occurrence of age-related macular degeneration. Those affected become irrevocably blind. Age-related macular degeneration, AMD for short, is the most common cause of blindness in western industrialized countries. As a result, patients initially see blurred, distorted or a dark spot in the center of the field of vision, and later they become completely blind. A German-British research team has now found an important key to the development of AMD: the immune system of AMD sufferers is overactive and presumably therefore leads to blindness. This is what researchers around Hendrik P. N. Scholl from the University Eye Clinic in Bonn write in the online publication "Public Library of Science ONE". According to this, a dysregulation of the so-called complement system leads to blindness in old age. It is an important part of the innate immune system and is involved in inflammatory reactions.

Our brains create false memories way more often than we think. False memories occur pretty easily as well. Going along with that, the more "vivid" a memory seems the more likely it is that it's fabricated. On top of that, the more we recall a memory, the more susceptible to change it becomes and then the modifications that have been made seem more real because us recalling and then consolidating it further cements it in our memory to be "true".

A fun fact to go along with all this information is that deja vu is actually your brain spontaneously fabricating a new false memory and that's a perfect example that showcases the vividness we experience in our false memories.

Not the most disturbing, but bones are made of living tissue that breaks down and rebuilds consistently. Progesterone (for afab) and testosterone (for amab) ensure this rebuilding, meaning that if you lose those for an extended time (long-termloss of period or unnaturally low testosterone) you'll get osteopenia: your bones will have holes in them.

Second bonus fact for afabs: If you for any reason lose your reproductve hormones for years, your uterus and ovaries "shrink" like raisins, and it takes time to get them back to their original form.

It may seem like we know a lot about the human brain, but our standard way of studying brain activity is an fMRI, where a single pixel contains over 3 million neurons. That is more than many vertebrate animals' entire brains. The truth is, we really have no idea how the brain gives rise to consciousness.

Even if we somehow perfectly worked out all the neural correlates of consciousness so we could say a mental state happens if and only if some exact pattern of brain activity happens, we would still have the "hard problem" of consciousness: Why do these physical processes give rise to raw subjective experience, rather than just happening "in the dark"?

Actually, this isn't entirely true. A neurosurgeon operating on a woman to relieve her intractable epilepsy accidentally shocked her claustrum and "turned off" her consciousness. She was observably awake, but unresponsive except for autonomous functions. Another zap brought her awareness back, and she remembered nothing during the period she was "turned off." (Note: The claustrum is a blanket-like organ that connects most areas of the brain to one another. If you think of the various parts of the brain like the musicians in an orchestra, the claustrum is the conductor.) https://www.sciencenews.org/article/electrode-turns-consciousness-and
