Sure, we can turn a blind eye to the dark side of the world. But that won't make it any brighter. I would even argue that we should, on the contrary, venture into the shadows. Into the unknown. I believe we'd come out with a better understanding of ourselves. Or at the very least, of our surroundings.

Luckily, there are two Reddit posts we can use as starting points for our journey. One by u/Literal-Pile-of-Poo and the other by u/Yoloextreme345. They're phrased differently but essentially ask the same thing and invite other users to share some of the most disturbing facts they know. And many have. Here are some of the most popular submissions.

30 Disturbing Facts That People Probably Shouldn’t Have Shared But Did Anyway When X-ray technology first became widely available to pediatricians, they noticed a startling high number of broken bones. Befuddled doctors assumed there was a previously unknown pediatric bone disease being observed for the first time. Turns out we had no idea how common child abuse is.

We managed to get in touch with one of the people who started this discussion, u/Literal-Pile-of-Poo, and they were kind enough to have a little chat with us about their now-viral post.

"I think I [came up with the idea for it when I] was just watching TV and [since] I liked reading those kinds of threads in r/AskReddit where people tell stories or something that was just interesting like [random] facts, I thought I would just make a post that I would find interesting to read as well," the Redditor told Bored Panda.

"From the responses, I learned a lot about how nature is much more brutal than it seems. Many of the facts were about weird things animals do," the Redditor added.

But with that being said, they think people should not seek messed up info if they're not into that kind of thing. "The less disturbing things you come across the better in my opinion. But, I feel this post was more geared towards changing your perspective on how things work."

I actually worked on that mission and one of the lead investigators had told me that other than the pilot, copilot and last person in the seating arrangement, all o2 aux systems had been activated. I believe he said the person behind had to do the activation, which implied 5 people were conscious. That investigator also worked Apollo One right out of college and told me that sad story. How did I come by this info, I had worked on the TDRSS fuel and engine systems and when I was watching the launch, I realized immediately it was a pressure-based explosion. So for 3 days I thought I may have caused the problem and was quite distraught. A VP at the company called his good friend, the investigator I mentioned, and they called me to ket me know i had not contributed to the disaster. But I will never forget the impact of that day and how it forever changed how I dealt with setbacks.

However, there's something intrinsically human about seeking out gloom. Experts call it negativity bias. 

In short, it's our tendency not only to register negative stimuli more readily but also to dwell on these events. Also known as positive-negative asymmetry, this negativity bias means that we feel the sting of a rebuke more powerfully than we feel the joy of praise.

As humans, we tend to:

  • Remember traumatic experiences better than positive ones;
  • Recall insults better than praise;
  • React more strongly to negative stimuli;
  • Think about negative things more frequently than positive ones;
  • Respond more strongly to negative events than to equally positive ones;

So chances are, we'll see similar posts in the future as well.

30 Disturbing Facts That People Probably Shouldn’t Have Shared But Did Anyway I was told by a very senior police officer (a parent of a kid I taught) that it is estimated that 30% of all missing persons reported to police who are never located have been murdered and more often than not they have been murdered by the person reporting them missing in the first place. The police know this, but lack evidence to proceed with prosecutions.

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..

Hitler probably didn't have Jews killed because he genuinely feared or hated them - he did it to give the German people a "common enemy" and basically to manipulate the public. Which is kind of worse.

True, and it also doesn't mean they're any good. Most of them put zero effort into actually defending you and instead just encourage you to plead guilty and take the prosecutor's offer. Interesting that the judge, the prosecutor, and your court-appointed lawyer are all on the same payroll.

30 Disturbing Facts That People Probably Shouldn’t Have Shared But Did Anyway the surgery with the highest mortality rate was 300%. how did this happen? well, there was a surgeon called Robert Liston who was famous for his fast amputations, and when I say fast I'm talking 30 seconds to 1 minute surgeries, 180x faster than amputations now (this happened in the 1800's). one day he was performing an amputation but accidentally amputated much more than he should have, due to the fact that the patient was thrashing about in pain while assistants held them down as there was no anasthetic at the time. he was amputating so fast that he cut through his assistant's finger. the surgical tools were probably dirty as both the patient an the assistant died of infections. as for the third guy, people enjoyed watching Liston preform surgeries and he was at the front of the crowd. Liston slashed the spectator's coat, which supposedly caused the spectator to die of shock (likely a heart attack).

TL:DR doctor amputated guy, cuts assistant and slashed spectator's coat, causing all 3 to die.

Surprisingly common at subway and train stations, when people fall into the gap between the platform and a moving car. The friction of the moving car twists the torso around and around, essentially separating the upper and lower halves but leaving them connected. With a ruined spinal cord, the victim feels little pain and remains alert. First responders hate these incidents because they know that the only way to get the victim out--which has to be done--is by moving the train. The instant the pressure is released, the victim dies, even though they FEEL okay up to the last instant. It's a horrible scene for everyone involved.

Orcas will slap baby seals 80+ ft into the air with their tails until the seal's skin comes off, and eventually dies. The orcas will then not even eat it after, meaning that they literally just do it for fun.

They also drown baby whales just for fun or to only eat their tongue. Orcas are horrible bullies.

When someone is beaten and suffers blunt force trauma to the back of the head, it isn’t brain damage that kills them. Most of the time it damages the bones in the roof of your mouth and nose and the bleeding from these highly vascular areas make the person drown in their own blood.

Cows can create mummified foetuses inside of their uterus. If the foetus dies and is not retrieved, the body absorbs all the liquids and humidity from the foetus, and what is left is a tiny dried up hard solid mummy of a calf.

When a morbidly obese person is being cremated the oven doesn't need to get as hot as when a thin person being cremated due to the fat burning at a high temperature.

There was a crematorium that caught fire in Cincinnati, Ohio a few years back due to a grease fire starting while cremating a morbidly obese body.

Until the 1980’s, people had no idea that Orangutans had two different sub-species and ended up cross breeding the two. And the end result was known as the “cocktail orangutan”. The problem with these hybrid orangutans is while they are fertile, they suffer numerous health issues and allowing them to continue to breed will result in the orangutan population to diminish even more

There are not two subspecies, there are 3 full species with Pongo tapanuliensis described in 2017. But apparently in 2021 people still do not have an idea.

4% are proven to be innocent and have their convictions overturned. There's no way of knowing how many are innocent but unable to prove it.

That people who drown in confined spaces will claw the skin off the bone of their fingers trying to get out. They sometimes claw their own throats open.

This pertains to any method to dying in a confined space. At Auschwitz (not sure I spelt that right) you can see nail marks in the walls in the gas chambers.

Technically, when you smell vomit, you smell butyric acid. It's also in Parmigiano cheese, which is why it also has a vomit like smell. It's best to be smelled when you open a bag of grated Parmigiano. How do I know that? Chemistry teacher. Sometimes I let my students smell the acid. ;)

When you are cremated the ovens do not melt your bones. The fragments are put in to a blender and pulverised in to the ash that we think of with cremation

Firstly, bones don't melt. Secondly, most of the bones are cremated to ash, but some fragments are left that are indeed finely ground up in a blender-type machine. It's not like your flesh is cremated and then your entire skeleton is put in a blender.

After the Tienemann Square Massacre. To get rid of the bodies, Chinese tanks drove over them and "pancaked" them so troops could easily just use hoses to wash them into the gutters

This seems like an urban legend. I've seen enough "pancaked" roadkill to know it is still pretty chunky and not really able to be washed off. Even with a high pressure hose it would be stringy and get stuck in drains.
