33 Of The Deepest Rabbit Holes People Ever Found Themselves Delving Into, As Shared Online For a little while, I couldn't stop reading about Action Park, a water/amusement park that was open in New Jersey from the late 70s until the 1996. Basically, the whole place skirted a TON of rules and regulations, and six people died on rides.

There were also literally THOUSANDS of injuries.

The owner would pay employees $100 to test out crazy new rides. They had a slide that went completely upside down. It was um, not safe.

There was a giant human sized hamster wheel they tested by rolling down a hill. It rolled down the hill, broke the fence, and crossed the highway, with someone inside.

I recommend the documentary "Class Action Park" on HBO, or you can just see some crazy rides and old footage on youtube.

Bored Panda got in touch with the author of this thread and he kindly agreed to share more information about the inspiration and topics that pull him down the rabbit hole.

To begin with, the OP shared that he has been reading about so-called ‘perfect numbers’. To summarize a little bit what it is - an integer that is positive and equal to the sum of its appropriate divisors is called a perfect number. The sum of 1, 2, and 3 equals 6, which is the smallest perfect number. The remaining perfect numbers are 8,128, 28, and 496. The precise date when these numbers were first described is currently considered lost.

People have no idea how hard it is to find someone in the wilderness, especially if they aren't trying to be found. The bodies are there, just never found.

I stumbled upon a youtube short of an abandoned mine shaft. The person just threw a big rock down the shaft to see how deep it is. I counted 8 seconds. When you're waiting to hear something hit a bottom 8 seconds is a long time. People were commenting, asking how many bodies are down there. Gets you thinking how many deep, unguarded, unchecked places are there in remote locations that could be holding so many unsolved crimes and missing people.

33 Of The Deepest Rabbit Holes People Ever Found Themselves Delving Into, As Shared Online The life of Harry Houdini. I was working on a historical novel idea a couple years ago that wove fictional events into historical 1926 New York City. My main character encountered several notable locations and places, and Houdini, his home, magic, and family played a major role.

There is so much of Houdini’s life that is fascinatingly well-documented. There are also tantalizing unknowns that keep both historians and magic buffs intrigued until today.

Weird facts:

He was the first to pilot an airplane in Australia.

When WW1 broke out, he trained US troops how to escape prisoner shackles if they were captured by the enemy and how not to panic if trapped underwater, such as in a torpedoed ship.

He knew and collaborated with HP Lovecraft who ghost-wrote an adventure story set Egypt in Houdini’s voice. They were collaborating on a book debunking superstitions at the time of Houdini’s death.

His house in Harlem was wired with a secret microphone system permitting him to eavesdrop on visitors and then appear to have mind-reading powers.

He purchased an actual Egyptian mummy what rattled around in his basement, much to his wife’s chagrin.

I could do this all day. Check it out.

This is a very dangerous rabbit hole if you don't understand that nothing is cut and dry in psychology. You can't analyse the outcomes and say, oh, this event is causing this and that event is causing that. It's not hard science and nothing is ever for sure. What a truly professional psychologist does is trying to use a flashlight to shed a bit of light in front of your feet within a dark cavern while trying to help you finding the exit with a lot of well educated guesswork. It costs a lot of trial and error. We have lots of research about what might cause x and y problems, but in reality that doesn't help you with anything related to your trauma when it comes to therapy. That research isn't meant to help those who experienced it, it's meant for prevention. If you have mental illnesses you better stay away from those 'explanations' because therapy is a whole lot different and only losely connected to this research. Going down that rabbit hole can even prevent success in therapy.

Quantum physics has recently been proven that once regarded as law of physics isn't the case in the whole universe. There are objects and areas in the universe acting on their own laws of physics. What we also see in those telescopes, with those reflective mirrors that really just give us the information the light, that has travelled thousands to billions of years, tells us is just face value and doesn't tell us anything else. We can use math equations to fill in the blanks all we want. The only thing that will do is show how smart the mathematicians and Astrophysicists are compared to the average human on Earth, about Earth and maybe our own solar system. We have very little idea what is actually going on elsewhere in the Universe.

I once went down the rabbit hole of finance and the stock market. That's even worse. What started as a sensible attempt to provide coverage for the relatives of sailors, especially on whale travellers and provide them an outcome in case something happened to the fathers and a way for employees to get a pension ended up as a huge scheme for rich people sucking money directly out of circulation and companies for absolute no service or contribution to the company. And the term 'investment' is intentionally misleading to make people think those rich money sacks are regularly 'investing' into the companies that have once upon a time sold stocks, while all they really 'invest' into is their own stock portfolio. But people think all investments are loan investments, while nothing could be further from the truth.

The correlation between smoking and lung cancer is different in every country.

When plotted country by country, life expectancy for women actually increases with increasing smoking. Total rabbit hole.

19th century composers. Dudes were wild. Franz Liszt was practically a modern day celebrity. "Lisztomania" was a real thing, he had tons of fans, many of them young women, multiple women left their families/husband for him, he had daughters names Blandine and Cosima. If you look up a picture of him, he's like the most boring and normal looking dude, but I guess Europe really loved piano. Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone, almost died so many times as a kid (accidentally drank poison, fell from a three story window, accidentally drank poison, got ran over by a horse, accidentally drank poison) that he was nicknamed "The Ghost". After he invented the Saxophone, rival music companies hates him so much that they tried to kill him. After multiple failed assassination attempts, they settled for suing him until he died, penniless. Georges Bizet, who had a really dope beard, wrote the opera, Carmen.
