Steven absolutely believes that people have more and more responsibility, the more information they know. "If you know potential dangerous information, you should protect it from the general public, or more specifically, people who would do bad things," he explained to us.

"That's why government labs in sensitive areas keep the information they have a secret to protect the general public from threatening uses of that information," he added.

Bored Panda wanted to know if scientists have a duty to figure out the truth about how the world works or if there have to be some limits in place. "You probably can't stop things from being discovered. If you ban it in one country, another will pursue it to gain a competitive advantage. And if all countries agree on a ban, some curious people will probably continue to work on it," Steven shared his opinion.

"In general, I think we should learn about everything about how the world and universe work. It's how that knowledge is applied later on that is debatable," he said that the focus has to be on how that knowledge is then used, not the actual fact that you know something.

You could argue that human beings are hardwired for curiosity. We want to know as much about the world as we can because our survival depends on it. And the more fringe the knowledge, the more obscure the facts, the more curious some of us get. This applies both to real-life facts, as well as to entertainment. ‘Forbidden’ knowledge and learning about the dark side of humanity are hard to resist. Especially in the digital age where so much information is just a few internet searches away.

"When considering why the darker side of humanity and entertainment are so compelling, we have to first look at our evolutionary journey as human beings. For the majority of our existence, we were prey and always hyperaware of threats to our safety, which created a negativity bias that we are drawn towards," psychologist Lee Chambers told Bored Panda earlier.

"But in today's safe and often sanitized world, we are rarely threatened significantly, and the ability to explore evil, frightening and gruesome entertainment is one of the few ways we can visit this part of humanity while remaining safe and comfortable. There is a level of novelty to it, it removes boredom quickly, and it helps us to discover our emotional limits while understanding the minds of those who go beyond social norms and potentially gaining knowledge of how we might avoid being victims ourselves. They also offer closure, with many stories ending with the mystery being solved, and the criminal being brought to a level of justice," the mental health expert explained to us why exploring the darker aspects of humanity hooks and reels so many people in.

The psychologist pointed out that some people find it comforting when they’re exposed to evil things being done in the form of entertainment, e.g. on screen. The audience feels safe but can go on an emotional inner journey.

"It can take us on an emotional rollercoaster, have us trying to solve the puzzle and test our fear in a controlled way. The permission to explore evil is powerful, as we so rarely get the chance elsewhere, and in itself, it is healthy and normal in moderation," Lee said that this is why so many folks love true crime entertainment. It’s the forbidden aspect of it that entices so many viewers and listeners to tune in day in, day out.

However, consuming too much dark content isn’t all that healthy for us. “The challenge we face is the fact that consuming too much of this can desensitize us, and cause us to become less empathetic to the suffering of others, more fearful of our own environment, and potentially be more likely to use aggression ourselves,” the psychologist warned.

“It can also cause us to be triggered by our own previous adverse experiences, make it harder to manage our own emotional balance, and increase our stress levels, so moderating our consumption is something we should have front of mind, even when we get embroiled in the latest series that is pulling us in."

35 Pieces Of Information That Feel Illegal To Know (New Answers) That restaurants often do really disgusting things and have disgusting issues.

I used to waitress and then later manage a pizza place — mosquitos in the drain, nests of mice, stink bug infestations, flies feasting on food that falls behind the appliances that isn’t cleaned up frequently like it’s supposed to be, mold in the soda machine, expired ingredients still being used, etc.

It’s just.. a lot. I was very, very surprised. I knew that most restaurants naturally deal with these things from time to time, but I didn’t expect it to be this often. I also didn’t expect for management to be so nonchalant about going against inspections and regulations.

Other restaurants that friends of mine have managed/otherwise worked at have also had similar issues and it’s pretty wild.

I’ve never eaten at the restaurant that I worked at since quitting. I wouldn’t trust it.

35 Pieces Of Information That Feel Illegal To Know (New Answers) i've spent the past 18 months at home, in my neighborhood walking two dogs 3x a day (sometimes separately) at all hours of the day, so: the layout, egresses, and security patterns of many local establishments, locations of cameras and places where the cops hang out eating snacks, and how to get through various alleys from point A to point in my house with the lights off

Being a cannibal isnt technically illegal. It's just all the laws around it that make it near impossible to get away with it.

Having somewhat detailed knowledge of age of consent laws.

I took a criminal law class in college and we went over various laws, including various levels of sex crimes. It doesn't feel illegal to know that information, but if you know details of those laws, people tend to think you're trying to find loopholes or skirt up against them.

Try UK booze laws - despite most pubs just giving up and saying 18 it's much more complex, depending on who is buying and whether a meal is involved.

Conversely, if you are a billionaire and someone guesses your 64character sequence, you might just lose all the wealth in there.

Talking about crypto private keys here.

Also, it's tooooooooooo improbable. But yeah.

Out of date now, but some users might remember the AACS encryption key controversy. Back in the HDDVD days, you couldn't just clone a disc to share a movie with someone else because you needed an encryption key. Someone figured the key out and put it on Digg (which at the time functioned a lot like Reddit), which then got a cease and desist order. That backfired, as users spread the encryption key far and wide. Sharing the key felt like you were participating in a huge crime network, even though there's nothing wrong with copying and pasting a hexadecimal code.

BTW, it's 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0. This whole episode was the beginning of the end for DRM.

So basically at our school if there’s an intruder we are supposed to lock the classroom doors and hide while the teachers stay on their computers waiting for the all-clear code. No student is supposed to know the code because if so it could put us at risk of more problems if a lockdown was to occur. At school I was waiting in the hallway for the bell to ring when I look through the window leading to the school receptionist office when I see this large book. It had the all-clear code right on the front page... I thought schools was supposed to have reliable security?

This is completely untrue. But in some hotels you can request your own sheets and towels be changed less often as a "green option"
