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.

Definitely on the most horrifying facts I've ever learned is that a mute mail order bride is ten times as expensive as one who has the power of speech. It's very disturbing and becomes more and more horrifying the more you consider the implications.

Well, "holocaust" just means slaughter on a large scale, it is not exclusive to the slaughter the Nazis committed. But it is certainly true that by "the" holocaust people usually refer to the mass murder/genocide the Nazis commited on Jews, Roma and Sinti, the disabled, LGBTQIA+ people and other "undesired".

I know everybody pretty much hates the Russian at the moment but that doesn't give us the right to rewrite history. They were our allies during the war with 27million dying. Estimated 4.8 to 5.5 civilian and 2.8 to 3.3 POW's rounded up and shot or (mainly) staved to death. Ukraine that was part of the Soviet Union during the war, saw some of the heaviest losses

History isn't black and white, you can't just put a tidy bow on it. Oskar Schindler was German but not a Nazi. Britain drew a line on a map in India that started a sectarian war that saw close to a million dead and two sides pointing 170(each) nukes at each other. America wiped out over 90% of the native people and enslaved 12.3 million Africans because they are Patriots. In 1932/3 Stalin intentionally starved to death 4 million Ukrainians(Soviets in WW2) , which is why the fighting has been so furious now. The Rape of Nanking will turn anyone's stomach. And that's the start of the list, not the end. The far right(Nazi ideologies) has rebranded itself as Reform, Homeland, MAGA, etc and is once again on the rise; none of them think they are the enemy and a lot of people think they are the good guys.

@Ace: Holocaust stems from the Greek word for 'burnsacrifice', or something equivalent. It was used before WWII to describe the mass-scale killing of (a) people, but after WWII it's become the synonym we know and use today. A genocide is a genocide. The Holocaust is a truly awful chaper in human history, but to name it THE most awful chapter would be detrimental to other genocides who were awful in their own ways. A genocide is horrendous and we should refrain from comparing them with eachother.

Like I said, most people use "the Holocaust" to refer to what the Nazis did to the Jews in the first half of the 20th century. I never denied that. But it is also a fact that the word "holocaust" refers to slaughter on a large scale. It was used to refer to mass slaughters long before it was used to refer to "THE" Holocaust. And it was also used in that meaning afterwards, e.g. in as in "Cambodian Holocaust". If you are talking about the genocide on the Jews which the Nazis committed then you might want to call it "Shoa". Some jews even object to the usage of the word "Holocaust" for refering to the Shoa. The reasons for their objections are very interesting and very valid. It is easy enough to look it up.

@LaserBrain: I’m going to be completely honest, whether I’m downvoted or not. I think both sides are wrong and both sides are also completely innocent. In fact, all leaders of war, mass destruction and slaughter, and unjust violence is wrong, in my opinion. Humans love to talk about how we’re the most civilized creatures. But mass destruction in the name of dominance and power and greed is about as uncivilized as we can get. Many, many innocent people all over the world are suffering from a fight between a few “adults”. We think kids are silly for fighting over a toy, or food, or literally anything else. But are the reasons we fight for as adults that much more reasonable? I for one, can’t speak for the truths behind neither Israel or Palestine, or any others. All I can say is that *I* think that we should move past the past. We aren’t going to be any happier if we hold onto the hate we have. I hold my grudges too. But we should at least try to move on. And now I should probably stop.

While technically true, I don't think an innocent person being killed just for being a victim of ethnic cleansing in, say, Rwanda in the 90's, will really care that there's a distinction between the two. It's like saying one evil act isn't the same as another evil act...they are both abominable, so in most eyes, a distinction doesn't need to be drawn.

If there would be a cleansing then Israel pretty much sucks at it given the demographic population grows of Palestine in the last 7½ decades. The ones wanting to commit a genocide are the palestines since 1948, continuously attacking Israel and then using the necessary counter strikes for PR. How could the current situation in Gaza have been avoided? Not building military infrastrucutres into the civilian ones, not hiding within civilians and not killing around 1.250 people and taking 250 hostages. Palestines started it and we blame Israel for having the means to put an end to a threat for it's citizens?

Since Oct. 7, 2023, Isr*el has slaughtered an estimated 180,000, to be conservative. Half of Gaza's population is children. Entire families have been wiped out. And it's not just Gaza either. Isr*el has expanded its military settlement into Lebanon too, where 137 journalists have been killed as of yesterday. The targeting of hospitals, ambulances, water sources, and schools is despicable. The vast majority of these have no trace of hidden military activity that isr*el claims. And now we're starting to see ads pop up about new housing developments to be built in the razed Lebanese cities, where I have no doubt many new yorkers will run to purchase. Isr*el has always been built on stolen land. It's the oppressor and the oppressed, the colonists and the colonized.

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.”

One way many states departments of corrections try to anticipate the number of prison cell will be required in 20 years is based on how many third graders fail the state reading assessment.

Now consider that for-profit prison lobbyists donate an average of $2 million per election cycle to candidates who do NOT support adequate funding for public schools, and that little fact becomes even more disturbing.

When I body falls from a building, they don’t go ‘splat’, they bounce, unless it’s a very very high fall. Also if you’re driving over 80km/h and hit a horse or large animal, you can inhale its intestines and suffocate on them. Some factual stories from my ex-police father.

Microplastics are found in human blood, organs and even placentas. These tiny plastic particles, which come from things like degraded plastic waste and synthetic fibers, are so persuasive in our environment that they’ve made their way into our bodies through te food we eat, the water we drink and even the air we breathe. While the long-term health impacts are still being studies, the idea that plastic is now part of our biologic system is pretty unsettling….

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.

A pig will eat every part of your body except teeth, there were several farmers who went missing and the only thing left was a pile of teeth in the pig pen. Pigs have also been known to walk in to farmhouses and eat people's babies, so yeah pigs are crazy.

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?

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.

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.
