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.

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 is a super weird one that infects snails, causing the eye stalks to pulse, birds eat the snail, bird poops, snail eats poop, cycle continues. The worse parasite IMHO (rarely humble) is called Chagas Disease, a beetle called an assassin bug will bite you near your mouth while you are sleeping, this is why it is commonly called a “kissing bug” if the assassin bug carries a parasite, you are doomed. The parasite can take decades to do enough damage for you to produce symptoms, by then, it’s too late. The parasite prefers making its reproduction nest out of your heart and lungs. The only way to test is to get bit by the beetle raised in a sterile lab, then have the beetles poop tested, which basically only tells you that your days are numbered.

Cordyceps actually affects all insects and invertebrates. It's a way of ensuring that not one single species becomes too populated in a forest. It's basically the single most important fungus in the rainforest. Otherwise if one species becomes too populated then it completely throws off the balance in the forest. Like human beings. There's too many of us n it's throwing off the entire balance of the planet n because we eradicate all of the diseases that are basically our version of cordyceps, so now we're going to kill the planet n everything that calls it home just because we're too selfish to stop having so many fucken kids n too selfish to change our ways in order to fix the damage we've done. But yeah... whoops. I'm stoned. Cordyceps. Super dope.

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.

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

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.

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.

5points

Don't Look 3 years ago

Don't look at them as facts. Look at (some of) them as either the alternative view or even the lateral version of something. For instance, instead of worrying about microplastics in the air, consider that you are actually inhaling it from your own clothing. Either way, feel free to disregard 90% of these. It's not like we can actually do anything about them anyway.

I believe it's important to discuss the "secrets" we've hidden for so many years. It is hard, scary and sometimes overwhelming, but it will only be improved when we reveal it. Covering it up or pretending it's not happening only makes it worse.
