50 Scary Facts That People Shouldn’t Know But Do, As Shared By People On This Thread

We humans are meaning-seeking creatures. The question 'why?' has pushed us to explore the mysteries of the universe as well as the depths of our existence. But in the process, we learned that not every revelation brings us peace of mind.

Reddit user Yoloextreme345 made a post on the platform, asking everyone on it, "What is a fact you know off the top of your head (preferably disturbing) that you probably shouldn't?" and people immediately started sharing things they would like to forget.

From ancient funeral practices to modern celebrity lives, here are some of the most popular answers.

50 Scary Facts That People Shouldn't Know But Do, As Shared By People On This Thread A Jewish doctor treated Hitler’s Mother(The only person Adolf ever truly loved) while she was dying of cancer.

He promised his eternal gratitude to the doctor and even after becoming a pathological anti-Semite and later the Fuhrer, he was true to his word and was adamant the doctor and his family be placed under protection from the purge.

While some may think this an act of genuine kindness, I just think about all the lives lost because Hitler never stopped to think that all Jews were capable of good and not just the one who happened to have been good to him because of immediate proximity..

There was a famous incident of a chemist lady (Karen Wetterhahn) who was running some experiments involving it. I highly recommend the YT video about her by ChubbyEmu. Cliffs Notes version... she was gloved up but spilled a couple of drops on her hand. It went through the gloves and absorbed into her skin, unknown to her. Then she started developing symptoms. As soon as she knew what caused it, and knowing it was a debilitating death sentence, she started documenting every step of her life as it progressed, hoping it would benefit science in the future and people could learn from it. And we did... that knowledge gained was invaluable and heartbreaking.

I can only speak of my dear old cat, not humans. She had a peaceful, slow way to passing, and while it was clear that she is nearing the end, for about a week it was not clear exactly when she would go. Then on her last day I knew immediately that it will be THAT day. She smelled exactly like autumn leaves. Never been near death before, but I guess the knowledge might be stored deeper than personal memories. Sure enough, she did go in about 12 hours. I kept the top I was wearing that day for a long time, because I could smell that autumn scent on it, and it was the last thing she left behind.

This is a bit misleading. He had a hog farm and his own processing plant. Some of the bodies were fed to pigs, some were ground up & mixed with the pork meat, etc. Which does mean he could've ground misc. parts up & mixed in with the pig parts to be rendered. But the various stories/explanations come from him, and he claims he was framed, so whatever he says we have to take with a grain of salt. We know very little about what actually happened to the bodies as there's almost no evidence since he'd been working for over 30 years and the previous investigations into him (prior to the final takedown) were bungled pretty badly.

I've learnt of some uncomfortable facts from some Aztec (Mexica) fammily which has been passed down from generation to generation, though I don't know how true this one is:

During a ritual, Aztec kings used to bring some victims up the tall pyramid so they may be sacrificed to their gods. Typically, these victims were tossed along the side of the very jagged rocks and we're usually found dead at the bottom.

The priests would gather the bodies and cut them up for distribution to the people according to importance, so the king got the best piece and his family and the other priests received some parts, etc. They inevitably ate these pieces as part of their ritual.

Of course they didn't just munch on them, they prepared them like any other meat and usually ate them with soups.

Fast forward to the time when the conquistadores came from Spain. These guys show up not long after some ritual took place, then the Aztecs welcomed them in and shared their food.

You can figure out by now where this is going, these conquistadores ate the soup so they inquired about what it was made of and sure enough they found out.

Although eating human meat was a big no no, the Spaniards actually enjoyed it. So when they inevitably conquered over the Aztecs, they ended up keeping the recipe of that soup. Instead of using human meat though, they used pork since they've said that it tastes similar.

We still eat that today, it's called Pozole (Pozilli).

Spotted hyena females have "Psuedopenises". Pretty much both sexes have penises, except the female penis replaces the vagina. This means the urethra must be penetrated by a male in order to mate. The pseudopenis also functions as a birth canal. Pretty painful birth if you ask me.

In a study, Female Spotted Hyenas have been seen trying to peg Male Hyenas. Pretty amusing but also disturbing fact.

Special thanks to my 8th grade biology teacher for this mental scar of information.

Had a school presentation of this, cause it fascinates me while simultaneously horrifies me. The movie The Rock got me interested in finding out how much of it was true.

The VX-nerve agent kills in a brutally painful way.

When you tell a muscle to contract, you send out a chemical (ACh) in said muscle causing it to contract. When you no longer want to tense it, you send out a new chemical (AChE) neutralising the first chemical. The VX-nerve agent prevents this new substance (AChE) from being used to neutralise the first substance (ACh).

In the movie they mention you get spasms strong enough to break your own back, which I don't know if it's true or not, but you will begin involuntarily tense every single muscle in your body (including the diaphragm muscle) with so much force it can tear it's own muscle attachment until you eventually die because you can't exhale.

If you spray mere millilitres of this substance on a door handle, the next person to grab the door handle will die. It was used to assassinate Kim Jong Un's brother Kim Jong Nam, by spraying him in the face with this substance in a regular water spray container. I believe the ones who did this also died from the very minuscule amounts that landed on them as well.

This was an absolutely stupid list and so full of inaccuracies that I just can't even.. I usually refrain from commenting because I once got so many downvotes -> suspended on an innocent comment that I felt bad for days (yes, I know I shouldn't take it personally and blah blah blah but here I am). But I had to comment on multiple stupidities on this list.

Yup. You'll find out a lot of people here don't specifically care about accuracy, reality, measure and argumentation, and will just downvote without commenting to support their opinion. A dude on another recent post just established that 'All museums in Western countries were displaying stolen artifacts" - which a big big exaggeration to say the least. My poor attempt to nuance that was met with mute downvotes (not that I care, it's chill beer evening). But yes, it's more about what people want to believe sometimes here. Sorry you were suspended.

Reading books, in particular for me, a historical novel. A woman was given a knife to protect herself and had to be taught how to use it. I learned that if you stab someone in the back you do it below the ribs, point the knife up into the kidney.
