Whether we're gathering knowledge for our next DIY project or reading up on the country we're about to visit, learning is a lifelong process. However, it's not always just sunshine and rainbows.

Last week, Reddit user Throwrapis3ces invited everyone on the platform to share the disturbing facts they wish they didn't know, and they have already received nearly two thousand replies.

From human biology to waste management and social customs, continue scrolling to check out the stuff people think they would be better off not knowing.

35 Disturbing Facts People Didn’t Ask To Know I just heard about this one. A hospital in Kentucky pronounced a man brain dead so they could harvest his organs after he overdosed in Oct 2021. They began their routine viability checks. He woke up during a viability cardiac cath, which sent some personnel over the edge and speaking out. They were quickly dismissed by KODA (Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates). His sister also reported that she saw him crying with his eyes open as he passed her during his honor walk to OR for harvest. Her report was also dismissed. In OR, some of the operating physicians refused to continue with the procedure as they reported he was thrashing and bucking the vent. KODA was not pleased and requested additional surgeons to proceed despite this calling his behavior involuntary. There was no one available to step in. Surgery was canceled. The man is alive and well today. Many of the staff, including physicians, reportedly needed therapy after this experience.

After I told the doctors to leave my son on life support so I could have atleast a day or week or however many days I needed to assess the situation, I was informed he had passed less than 30 minutes later. I was then approached by someone informing me someone would be approaching me to discuss organ donation. I didn't understand how his organs could be harvested if he passed. He was 29 years old when he drowned but was rescued and revived and this was 4 years ago. I was so overwhelmed with grief (literally screaming from the pain and probably scaring all those in the ER) I barely remember how it all went down. I agreed. I was told I'd be informed when someone received one of his organs and I'm not lying when I tell you EVERY TIME I called and asked about it, I was told someone would contact me and I never hear back. As a matter of fact, I'm going to make a call to them today. Painful to do, but this story has given me a reason to do so.

My mom just received a heart transplant that saved her life and we are so grateful to the donor. I hope it was harvested ethically after reading about this. Unfortunately, we were not given any information about the donor, as we would've loved to reach out and thank them. Hopefully your son saved many lives as well.

This is awful. I've heard people say they aren't organ donors because they are afraid of a scenario like this playing out. I've always dismissed their claims and this story is the first affirmation I've heard. I hope there are no others like it.

Reminds me of a scene in Monty Python's Meaning of Life, where someone opens to the doorbell ringing. And there's two guys, asking him: "Can we have your liver, please sir?" And the guy says: "But I'm still alive!" On which one of the guys tells him it doesn't matter, grabs out a huge knife and just start cutting it out. That's hilarious, but this story is pure horror.

... and with every scandal around organ donations and such, the donor numbers plummet, worsening the situation and all crime around it. How ever hard it may be, the plain and simple hardware doesn't make you who you are, but could potentially safe somebody's life. People don't approach grieving relatives right away because they want to push them into agreeing, but because time runs out. Have it sorted beforehand, so you spare your relatives of that - and those who have to ask, if it's not clear and decided before, of the anger of people thinking they'd be asked in a vulnerable state to make them agree. It's sort of baffling how often I heard that, and I don't even work anywhere related at all.

Even through overwhelming grief I could see that something good would come out of all of this by making my son an organ donor. I understand your point. I was angry at all of them. The doctors the counselors and those who approached me about organ donation. I was angry at the world for just going about their day when my son was no longer here. Now that I look back I respect them for having such a difficult job. The organization provided grief support as well and they were very empathetic and kind people. I just don't understand why I haven't been able to get an answer from them as to where my son's organs have been used. I don't need to know the name I just want to know that it helped someone. Perhaps whoever handles this is busy or overwhelmed and just was never able to get back to me. This is a local office so that's why I say that.

once saw a man suicide via shotgun to the head (blew his mind) but left the stem. We transported to St Vincents (NYC) and they harvested him in the ER due to erratic and unstable vitals due to trauma. I will never forget that day.. And they checked him thoroughly even thou he was missing the top of his head..

35 Disturbing Facts People Didn’t Ask To Know Unit 731 was a Japanese “””research institute””” during WWII where they committed atrocities that would’ve made even the coldest of Nazis blush.

They would test the efficacy of different explosive devices by having live prisoners stand close to the blast and then see who survived the blast.

They would infect prisoners with STDs to see how the disease would develop if left untreated. Sickeningly, they sometimes would infect new prisoners with the STD by forcing an already-infected prisoner to rape them at gunpoint.

They forced other prisoners to strip off all their clothes and stand out in the cold until they died of frostbite, just to see what happened.

Perhaps worst of all, nobody was ever tried for war crimes and the man behind it all, Shiro Ishii, died peacefully in 1959. The United States knew of Unit 731, but they requested their “findings” in exchange for not investigating or prosecuting those responsible. Because of this, we don’t even know how many people actually died there, estimates range from 23,000-300,000.

None of the “findings” were even useful to the United States as it became clear that the experiments were carried out merely because the researchers thought they’d be fun.

Nakagawa Yonezo witnessed experiments and executions at Unit 731 and later testified, “Some of the experiments had nothing to do with advancing the capability of germ warfare, or of medicine. There is such a thing as professional curiosity: ‘What would happen if we did such and such?’ What medical purpose was served by performing and studying beheadings? None at all. That was just playing around. Professional people, too, like to play.”

35 Disturbing Facts People Didn’t Ask To Know The sheer power and devastation of hurrucanes. I watched an interview with people who survived the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. Their accounts were just awful. Some highlights:

- One man, who at the time was a teenager, was trying to get to their storm shelter out back. He was holding his toddler sister. Once he got outside, debris hit the girl in the head, smashing her head against his face. She died instantly. He said he just stood there, holding his sister's body for several seconds.


- One man watched their refrigerator fall on top of and pin their mother, breaking her back and paralyzing her. She was alive when he left her.


- People climbed trees to get away from the storm surge. Once it receeded, they had to crawl over bodies caught in lower branches.


- Several people were wandering around town naked afterwards. The storm had stripped them of every piece of clothing.

6 American bombs. I don't believe for one second that all Soviet Union/Russian bombs are accounted for.

35 Disturbing Facts People Didn’t Ask To Know Organophosphates, including the chemical weapon Sarin Gas, work by inhibiting your muscle's ability to relax. Your muscles basically constrict and can't unconstrict, causing what feels like a muscle cramp through your entire body - your arms, your chest, your eyes, your tongue, everything. It most frequently kills via asphyxiation, because you can't exhale. Surviving means a permanent, irrecoverable loss of motor function, even with rapid medical treatment.

My only hope is that the stress of the fall induced heart attacks and they were already deceased before they hit the ground. Please let it be so. Please let them have been given that kind of mercy in that moment. Weren’t all the horrors that day already enough?

35 Disturbing Facts People Didn’t Ask To Know That your organs know where they're supposed to be and move on their own.

During surgery, doctors will just stuff them back in and they'll rearrange themselves back to their proper spot.

This applies to the intestinal system, not to other organs.

If it's going to end life on Earth, the bit about changing the climate seems somewhat irrelevant.

I used to work at the coroner's court and attended hundreds of inquests. I had to become pretty numb to hearing about the deaths and seeing the reactions of the families and witnesses, but there's one that'll always stick with me.

It's the new baby's first Christmas, only a few months old. The family are eating their Christmas dinner, laughing and telling stories. Granny is holding the baby, and feeds her a little bit of the chicken so she can try it for the first time. The baby chokes to death.

Every time I think about this one, I wish I hadn't been there and hadn't heard it. It's always in the back of my mind for the rest of the day.

Very poorly worded. Some preservatives used in curing meat. specifically nitrate compounds, have links with cancer if used in large amounts, but are also naturally occurring in vegetables like celery, so celery salt is sometimes used in order to be able to claim "no added nitrates". Check the label.
