30 Facts That Might Make You Think “Well, That’s Enough Internet For One Day”, As Shared By Folks In This Online Group That animals get abused by sadistic a******s every day and there’s nothing I can do about it.

And I don’t just mean food industry horror, I also mean casual abuse of pets, abuse by sadistic people of strays for pleasure, out of boredom, neglect of pets, horses being starved to death. Old animals being abandoned, etc.

The animal rights laws are way too weak even in the strictest of countries in my opinion. I can’t unknow it and I can’t do anything about it and if I think about too much I can’t handle it

Don't think it is new. There is a reason why female Egyptian mummies are more decomposed in general than male ones.

From The History of Herodotus translated by G.C. Macaulay: ll:89. The wives of men of rank when they die are not given at once to be embalmed, nor such women as are very beautiful or of greater regard than others, but on the third or fourth day after their death (and not before) they are delivered to the embalmers. They do so about this matter in order that the embalmers may not abuse their women, for they say that one of them was taken once doing so to the corpse of a woman lately dead, and his fellow-craftsman gave information. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/89/herodotus-on-burial-in-egypt/

I mean, I did read a story where a woman got PREGNANT from a corpse. As a nurse, I should tell y'all that sometimes you can end up with an erection after death. They can also sit up and make weird noises. It's just gases releasing and muscles tightening. But yeah, a corpse CAN release semen. And that woman is now in jail. I'll look and see if I can find the story for y'all

This is the same reason is why female mummies are more decayed than male mummies. They were left to decompose a bit before being mummified.

It's literally just similar reasons why women are thought of more often as nurses than men. Stereotypes mostly. Judging by the comments, this post is misleading. No, it has nothing to weird sex stuff. Grow up, get off TikTok.

30 Facts That Might Make You Think “Well, That’s Enough Internet For One Day”, As Shared By Folks In This Online Group There's something like 2% of American prairie left and it's still shrinking. A couple weeks ago Rockford airport was just given permission to expand over Illinois' best and nearly last prairie.

Native prairie species sequester carbon FAR MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN TREES and support more biodiversity. Not to mention their ability to stop erosion.

Not only are we destroying prairie for human expansion, but we also went too far with planting trees and fire suppression, so areas that should be prairie and savanah are just planted with trees because we just assume that the more trees the better.

Don't even get me started about people's "wildflower gardens" that help very few insects and animals as compared to actual native plants.

Check out [The Native Habitat Project](https://www.nativehabitatproject.com/) for more information.


Edit: Rockford Airport, not O'Hare

Ever been woken up in the middle of the night by a hospitalized loved one thinking they're at home, in a hotel, in a different hospital, rambling about s**t that makes zero sense, and perhaps thinking it's a different year? I am every night. And I'm starting to lose my f*****g mind.

But you know what's f*****g hilarious? My grandma at 96 handled 2 weeks in the hospital with no issue, whereas my 68 year old father literally acts like a patient with dementia... Maybe he's developing dementia, I don't know. Again, I'm losing my f*****g mind too.

30 Facts That Might Make You Think “Well, That’s Enough Internet For One Day”, As Shared By Folks In This Online Group I remember watching an episode of the show *Monsters Inside Me* where this 16-year-old kid 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 finally 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.
