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.

35 Disturbing Facts People Didn’t Ask To Know 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.

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.”

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….

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.

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.

It is so strange. I had an 8 pound 14 inch hemorrhagic cyst on my right ovary that stretched from my ovary (down around your hip region) up into where my stomach sits. It moved everything over to make room for itself for however many years it had been growing. (I know now due to the way my body reacted when I ate it had been there for at least 4 years before it started actively causing me pain) When it was removed it took several months before the right side of my organs settled back where they were supposed to be.

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.

How the rest of the world lives. I've been to Uganda and India. Ugandan kids live in grass and mud huts, eat raw sugar cane and African potatoes, and just want to learn, but will probably work in a sugar plantation or die young.
Indian kids are taught to do anything to get a small amount of money and that carries through their life, even selling their younger siblings of they can.
And here I was growing up in suburban America complaining about school and listening to blink 182 on my disc man.
I still want to take my kids to Uganda though, so they can better appreciate what we have. And then reply to this thread "when my dad took me to uganda...".

Degloving….

misslostinlife:

One of our bunnies degloved another. The first vet we went to recommended putting her down without even looking at her. We went there because it happened late at night and it was the best 24 animal vet around. Took her to the small animal vet open the next day and she fully recovered. It was horrifying to look at.

That there have been multiple women that have either died or nearly died because someone with a mental illness forcefully removes the baby from their womb by luring them in with the promise of baby clothes/supplies. Absolutely terrifying.

1.

Scientists find that the weight of all human-created mass, including plastics, exceeds all natural living biomass.


2.

The weight of all remaining wild land mammals is less than 10 percent of humanity's combined weight, which amounts to only about 6 lbs of wild land mammal per person.

That would mean the average human weighs 60lb (27kg). I don't think so.

Disney also had no problem working with Ezra Miller, even after all the despicable things he did. Disney is despicable.

35 Disturbing Facts People Didn’t Ask To Know Many of the human organs trafficked on the black market in the United States come from narcos. There have been many cases involving medical professionals, and trucks that have been found with bodies are missing organs.

Humans are more than just predators, more than just mere "apex" predators. We are top of the food chain. However, without tools? Pretty sure most other apex predators would annihilate us.

Male horses get a build up of smegma in their p*nis sheath that can form into a rock hard nugget that can be 4/5cms across. So it has to be kept clean and these ‘beans’ have to be removed manually by the owner, or a vet.

Yep, not my favourite part of owning horses, but it could be worse. I still let my vet deal with one of the cats that has to have a nal glands emptied.

In some places in the world where g*nocide and terrorism exist together, male neighbors will trade homes and sleep in the homes with neighbors’ wives/daughters. If homes are invaded and the marauders demand that the males in a household r*pe the females, they aren’t r*ping their own family members.

In the late 1800s, the heir to the Jameson Whiskey fortune went on an expedition to Africa and came across a cannibalistic tribe. He was curious about them, so he purchased a 10-year-old girl and gave her to them to eat. According to witnesses, she had no emotion when they tied her up and began preparing to k*ll her. She knew what was about to happen and accepted it.

Yes, let's trust the account of the people who described buying a child to feed her to cannibals as an experiment. I'm sure there's nothing unreliable there.

You where sedated? In UK you get lubed up and take it like a boss. Not very nice tho. The worst part is drinking the laxatives that flush you out, before hand.

Chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment (and also type-1 diabetes) really ruins your arteries and you may survive cancer but not your later heart attack, vision loss, or loss of appendages. By "ruins", I mean they don't just get blocked, they almost look shrunken or atrophied - thready. You can't thread a wire through them for stents and they are no longer good targets for bypass and so that won't help you either.

When you are doing surgery and a patient on the table dies, they turn cold. Ice cold. FAST. Uncomfortably fast. I will never forget that sensation. Awful.

Nonsense. As with all thermal exchange it's partly dependent on the difference in temperatures, but in typical circumstances (normal body temperature in a room temperature environment) a dead body takes about 12 hours to feel cool to the touch, 24+ to reach ambient temperature all the way through, and they will not get "ice cold" unless you're storing them in a freezer!

That orphaned newborn kittens have to be carefully monitored because they seek out the nipple so aggressively they suck on the other kittens’ penises often to the point of removing the p*nis entirely. Thanks Ologies podcast!

I wonder about the truth of this. A kitten's penis is so small that it's very hard to determine the sex of the kittens when they're under a certain age (or so I've been told). I can fully see how they would suckle eachothers tails, but penises?

Did a quick crash course to bacteriology. Using and dumping sanitizer back in the wild will inevitably give bacteria enough time have immunity to it. Which is something so dangerous that can break humanity.

No, this isn’t true. 1) Alcohol evaporates extremely quickly so it’s not just sitting around in the ‘wild’, and 2) Bacteria can’t evolve immunity to alcohol because it literally destroys the cell. It’s like saying that bacteria should’ve evolved resistance to fire by now
