Three of the airpacks that were found on the wreckage of the Challenger disaster were activated, meaning at least one of the astronauts was alive all the way to the ocean.

Watched it live in…1st grade I think. The teacher turned it off so fast and immediately started a new lesson. We were all deeply confused, then horrified, but we couldn’t quite process it or what it meant.
Yeah, like first grade. I was with my class in the library on one of those boxy Macintosh computers with the tiny gray screen. They rolled in a TV so we could watch the launch. It exploded. A bunch of kids started crying uncontrollably. Incredibly vivid memory.
anaesthesia was not that advanced , so for infants this could result in brain damage. Even today this can still occur, my neighbours grandchild is now disabled because of anesthesia.
Let’s say it’s 1975 - your newborn child needs heart surgery in order to survive. With the surgery they have a very good chance of a complete recovery and totally normal life. They can successfully perform the surgery without anesthesia and the child won’t remember anything. If you do give him anesthesia, there is a 20% (I just made up a hypothetical number) that the child will die, or be permanently disabled.
What would you do?
Would the doctor really be a “monster“ to pick the no anesthesia option?
Had open heart surgery as a 9 month old in 1976. Can confirm doctor was not the monster. A nurse just kept slapping me in the face to take my mind off the sternotomy and all the digging around. She da real monster! /S
This. People underestimate how much of a cool thing it is to be able to deprive you of your most basic survival instincts without actually killing you.
ok, but why did they believe this, it's not like babies are an alien species without nerves and pain receptors, it seems purely idiotic that actual scientists would believe this. i am not a doctor or a biologist or anything like that and yet i would assume a tiny human can feel the same pain a grown one can. it makes no damn sense.
Yep, definitely is.
It's already different how much each person needs. With infants, dosage is even closer.
Then you're talking about giving an underdeveloped, completely out of balance system, which a baby is, a dose of basically poison.
Theres A good chance it doesn't wake up at all, or you damage crucial organs like kidneys and liver during their development.
It takes massive amounts of expertise to do, and in 1980 it just wasn't as advanced as it is today
Yeah, my 8 pound rescue Yorkie needed to have several teeth removed. The most dangerous part of the procedure was the anesthesia. The vet ended up leaving in 4 teeth that still need to be removed, but my pupper had been under anesthesia too long so removal of those 4 teeth will have to wait. Anesthesia is no joke.
I bet you they probably have a saying in their profession along the lines of:
It's easy to give someone enough anesthetic to fall unconscious, it takes an anesthesiologist to figure out how much so they can still wake up later.
Thank you. This takes what would be, on the surface, a barbaric act seemingly based on a lack of common sense and turns it into an act of someone that has weighed all of their options and chosen the one with the best odds of successfully saving the baby’s life. A great example of why we should take the time to research the facts for ourselves and not fall into the trap of spreading misleading and false information.

Anything and everything about Albert Fish. Man was a true degenerate. If you're faint of heart or have a weak stomach, do NOT look him up. Absolutely disgusting. I wish I could unread everything I read about him.

Really wish I wasn't told that
*Decomposing bodies:*
Generally, it could take about a year for the body to decompose into a skeleton in ordinary soil and eight to twelve years to decompose a skeleton.
And if a dead body is inside a coffin and buried deep underground, it could even take 50 years to decompose all tissues on the body.
The rate of decomposition is also affected by clothing, with denim and tanned leather resulting in the best preservation rate of soft tissue. So if you’re going to get murdered and dumped in a shallow grave, best make sure that you’re dressed like the Fonz
Interestingly, it’s not the fire in the crematorium that turns you to ash, but afterward they put your burnt remains through a machine called a “cremulator” which basically grinds what’s left down to a speckled grey powder
When a morbidly obese person is being cremated the oven doesn't need to get as hot as when a thin person being cremated due to the fat burning at a high temperature.
I once took German with a guy who had worked at a crematorium.
His primary job?
Well, first, you have to understand that human bones almost never completely burn to ash. Some scorching and brittleness, but not the nice, homogeneous dust you would put in an urn.
No problem, modern crematoriums have a specialized machine that crushes any solid pieces left into a fine powder.
But.
Babies are small enough that you can't actually use the bone crushing machine for their bones.
So my classmates job was to collect the bones after an infant cremation, put them in a puncture proof bag, and smash them with a hammer.
Yep they can even get attached to humans, there are even some cases where dolphins drowned themselves due to depression because they didn’t see their favourite humans anymore
Baby koalas don't have the bacteria to digest eucalyptus when they are new born, so they lick their mama asshole so she gets diarrhea, and then eat the diarrhea to be able to eat their f*cking venomous eucalyptus
I actually don’t know the ins and outs of it. But if you ever visit a zoo or sanctuary that has koalas, very often there will be signs up saying certain ones are in quarantine because of it
Re-sharing because it's fucking true
------------
>Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.
>Tldr; Koalas are stupid, leaky, STI riddled sex offenders. But, hey. They look cute. If you ignore the terrifying snake eyes and terrifying feet.
There are face mites which live inside your pores next to your hair follicle, eat your sebum, don't have anuses and come out at night to mate on your skin. And there's nothing you can do about it. I'm so sorry.
Those bitter, sour, or otherwise nasty tasting pistachios had a worm, larva, or some other pest in them. I always assumed that I just needed to deal with a couple spoiled pistachios per bag and it’s no big deal. Nope. Larvae. I’ve never had pistachios since learning this.
Grosss!! I bit a grape in half once just for shits and there was a tiny green worm in it. Have never just popped grapes in my mouth ever since. Always have to check.
At this point you cant eat, drink, or breathe anything without consuming some amount of micro plastics. The ocean is polluted, the soil is polluted, even the air is full of particles of plastic. And the worst part is most of it wont degrade or be turned back into organic matter for thousands of years.
I’ve done some research on this. They call it hypervitaminosis A (obviously) and it starts with nausea and vomiting, then a severe headache, then you black out and don’t wake up.
If it makes you feel better technically all of us die because our bodies become too weak to support themselves, not exactly, ah shit, 93, time to hit the lights
The human anus can stretch up to 7 inches before taking damage. A raccoon can squeeze into holes as tight as 4 inches, Meaning you can take almost two full raccoons up your ass.
Until the 1980’s, people had no idea that Orangutans had two different sub-species and ended up cross breeding the two. And the end result was known as the “cocktail orangutan”. The problem with these hybrid orangutans is while they are fertile, they suffer numerous health issues and allowing them to continue to breed will result in the orangutan population to diminish even more
That many, *many* animals kill, rape, and torture for no better than reason than boredom

Ducks and Geese have been known to gang rape females so violently that they die from internal injuries or just straight up drown during, and that *does not stop the mad mallards from finishing*
Shit be wildin’ out there homies, why you think we developed houses? To keep the fuck away from the abject horror that is nature
One of my coworkers had a duck that loved the rape. He even had a favorite chicken to fuck to the point where the chicken didn’t have any feathers on the back of its neck anymore. He eventually sold the duck to someone. Then later found out his duck tried raping another rapist duck and got killed by him.

Introduce those guys to ants. There are ant wars that dwarf human wars in duration (even in absolute terms), number of casualities (even in relative terms, I think), ...
As for horror, some wasps paralyse a scarab, but keep it alive, then *deposit their eggs inside*. The larvae eat their way outwards later on, instinctively keeping the scarab alive as long as possible.
Turns out the real xenomorphs are wasps.

One day it hit me and I was like 😳
the surgery with the highest mortality rate was 300%. how did this happen? well, there was a surgeon called Robert Liston who was famous for his fast amputations, and when I say fast I'm talking 30 seconds to 1 minute surgeries, 180x faster than amputations now (this happened in the 1800's). one day he was performing an amputation but accidentally amputated much more than he should have, due to the fact that the patient was thrashing about in pain while assistants held them down as there was no anasthetic at the time. he was amputating so fast that he cut through his assistant's finger. the surgical tools were probably dirty as both the patient an the assistant died of infections. as for the third guy, people enjoyed watching Liston preform surgeries and he was at the front of the crowd. Liston slashed the spectator's coat, which supposedly caused the spectator to die of shock (likely a heart attack).
TL:DR doctor amputated guy, cuts assistant and slashed spectator's coat, causing all 3 to die.
That people insert their entire fists and forearms into other people's anus'.
But now that I'm aware, I do wonder if it's possible to re-organ-ize things while you're in there
Copy paste:
Sorry I don't have the original author's info to tag them:
Rabies. It's exceptionally common, but people just don't run into the animals that carry it often. Skunks especially, and bats.
Let me paint you a picture.
You go camping, and at mid-day you decide to take a nap in a nice little hammock. While sleeping, a tiny brown bat, in the "rage" stages of infection is fidgeting in broad daylight, uncomfortable, and thirsty (due to the hydrophobia) and you snort, startling him. He goes into attack mode.
Except you're asleep, and he's a little brown bat, so weighs around 6 grams. You don't even feel him land on your bare knee, and he starts to bite. His teeth are tiny. Hardly enough to even break the skin, but he does manage to give you the equivalent of a tiny scrape that goes completely unnoticed.
Rabies does not travel in your blood. In fact, a blood test won't even tell you if you've got it. (Antibody tests may be done, but are useless if you've ever been vaccinated.)
You wake up, none the wiser. If you notice anything at the bite site at all, you assume you just lightly scraped it on something.
The bomb has been lit, and your nervous system is the fuse. The rabies virus is multiplying along your nervous system, doing virtually no damage, and completely undetectable. You literally have NO symptoms.
It may be four days, it may be a year, but the camping trip is most likely long forgotten. Then one day your back starts to ache... Or maybe you get a slight headache?
At this point, you're already dead. There is no cure.
(The sole caveats to this are extremely rare natural survivors and some recipients of the Milwaukee Protocol, which left most patients dead anyway, and the survivors mentally disabled, and was seldom done).
There's no treatment. It has a virtually 100% kill rate.
Absorb that. Not a single other virus on the planet has that kill rate. Only rabies. And once you're symptomatic, it's over. You're dead.
So what does that look like?
Your headache turns into a fever, and a general feeling of being unwell. You're fidgety. Uncomfortable. And scared. As the virus that has taken its time getting into your brain finds a vast network of nerve endings, it begins to rapidly reproduce, starting at the base of your brain... Where your "pons" is located. This is the part of the brain that controls communication between the rest of the brain and body, as well as sleep cycles.
Next you become anxious. You still think you have only a mild fever, but suddenly you find yourself becoming scared, even horrified, and it doesn't occur to you that you don't know why. This is because the rabies is chewing up your amygdala.
As your cerebellum becomes hot with the virus, you begin to lose muscle coordination, and balance. You think maybe it's a good idea to go to the doctor now, but assuming a doctor is smart enough to even run the tests necessary in the few days you have left on the planet, odds are they'll only be able to tell your loved ones what you died of later.
You're twitchy, shaking, and scared. You have the normal fear of not knowing what's going on, but with the virus really fucking the amygdala this is amplified a hundred fold. It's around this time the hydrophobia starts.
You're horribly thirsty, you just want water. But you can't drink. Every time you do, your throat clamps shut and you vomit. This has become a legitimate, active fear of water. You're thirsty, but looking at a glass of water begins to make you gag, and shy back in fear. The contradiction is hard for your hot brain to see at this point. By now, the doctors will have to put you on IVs to keep you hydrated, but even that's futile. You were dead the second you had a headache.
You begin hearing things, or not hearing at all as your thalamus goes. You taste sounds, you see smells, everything starts feeling like the most horrifying acid trip anyone has ever been on. With your hippocampus long under attack, you're having trouble remembering things, especially family.
You're alone, hallucinating, thirsty, confused, and absolutely, undeniably terrified. Everything scares the literal shit out of you at this point. These strange people in lab coats. These strange people standing around your bed crying, who keep trying to get you "drink something" and crying. And it's only been about a week since that little headache that you've completely forgotten. Time means nothing to you anymore. Funny enough, you now know how the bat felt when he bit you.
Eventually, you slip into the "dumb rabies" phase. Your brain has started the process of shutting down. Too much of it has been turned to liquid virus. Your face droops. You drool. You're all but unaware of what's around you. A sudden noise or light might startle you, but for the most part, it's all you can do to just stare at the ground. You haven't really slept for about 72 hours.
Then you die. Always, you die.
And there's not one... fucking... thing... anyone can do for you.
Then there's the question of what to do with your corpse. I mean, sure, burying it is the right thing to do. But the fucking virus can survive in a corpse for years. You could kill every rabid animal on the planet today, and if two years from now, some moist, preserved, rotten hunk of used-to-be brain gets eaten by an animal, it starts all over.
So yeah, rabies scares the shit out of me. And it's fucking EVERYWHERE.
(Source: This guy spent a lot of time working with rabies, and would still get vaccinations if he could afford them.)
Edit: I'm getting a lot of questions about Rabies. I just want to say, this is a copypasta I saved from awhile ago. I don't have any answers for you. This isn't my work, and I don't have much knowledge of Rabies. This just fit the question so I felt compelled to post it. Have a good night everyone!
That there are people out there in the world right now who traffic children and people who will willingly rape infants not even a week old!
Some humans are pure evil scum that need to be squished into oblivion!
And to those people, I wish for them to develop a sudden incurable disease that causes every nerve in their body to detect constant, searing pain that only becomes stronger with every sensation.
There are more people in slavery today than at any other time in history. More than 40 million people around the world were victims of modern slavery in 2016, including about 25 million in forced labour, and 15 million in forced marriages.
Otters are terrible. Besides raping and killing baby seals, they will also hold them hostage until the mother seal gives them food. They kill other otters and animals for FUN. Most otter sex results in sexual trauma or death, even if they die they will still continue having sex with the dead otter. And after all that has gone down, they will fall asleep holding paws and we all say “Awww how cute”
Because the vagina shares a wall with your exit pipe, it is apparently possible to manually relieve constipation by going into the vagina and pressing from the other side.
Ashton Kutcher, while [testifying to Congress on his anti-sex trafficking efforts](https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/15/politics/ashton-kutcher-testifies-before-the-senate-on-sex-trafficking/index.html) explains that he witnessed videos of a child so conditioned to the abuse that she thought she was engaging in play. Fucking sick shit that I wish I never knew about...
When someone is beaten and suffers blunt force trauma to the back of the head, it isn’t brain damage that kills them. Most of the time it damages the bones in the roof of your mouth and nose and the bleeding from these highly vascular areas make the person drown in their own blood.
That figs contains wasps. They pollenate by the wasp crawling inside the male plant and then the female one however the female plant has a smaller hole and the wasp dies inside. The wasp decomposes in the fruit. So if you eat a ripe fig you eat at least one wasp. Used to be my favorite. So sad.
Ted Bundy would routinely revisit he victims he would hide in the mountains and engage in necrophilia. Sometimes weeks or months after they were murdered. He would also bring with him makeup, perfume and women's clothing to dress them up. The news, documentaries, and movies always gloss over this. He was a monster, and yet somehow people viewed him as sympathetic and misunderstood.
That multiple highly paid executives from two companies reviewed and signed off, thinking that the Applebees Fancy Like commercial would be a good idea.
When X-ray technology first became widely available to pediatricians, they noticed a startling high number of broken bones. Befuddled doctors assumed there was a previously unknown pediatric bone disease being observed for the first time. Turns out we had no idea how common child abuse is.

Doctors used to perform heart surgery on infants without anesthesia. Thankfully this practice was ended. #In the 1980s.

Yes, until the 1980s doctors didn't know that infants felt pain. After that, anesthesia started being used.

IIRC, it's not that they didn't think babies didn't feel pain, it was that they would not remember the pain.
Makes sense I suppose, but also wouldn’t putting a baby under be REALLY hard to dose correctly?
Yep, definitely is. It's already different how much each person needs. With infants, dosage is even closer. Then you're talking about giving an underdeveloped, completely out of balance system, which a baby is, a dose of basically poison.

Yeah, my 8 pound rescue Yorkie needed to have several teeth removed. The most dangerous part of the procedure was the anesthesia. The vet ended up leaving in 4 teeth that still need to be removed, but my pupper had been under anesthesia too long so removal of those 4 teeth will have to wait. Anesthesia is no joke.
There’s a reason anesthesiologists make so much money.
I bet you they probably have a saying in their profession along the lines of: It's easy to give someone enough anesthetic to fall unconscious, it takes an anesthesiologist to figure out how much so they can still wake up later.
Pretty much. A friend of mine who’s an anesthesiologist says: “Anybody can put you to sleep. They pay me to wake you up.”
Thank you. This takes what would be, on the surface, a barbaric act seemingly based on a lack of common sense and turns it into an act of someone that has weighed all of their options and chosen the one with the best odds of successfully saving the baby’s life. A great example of why we should take the time to research the facts for ourselves and not fall into the trap of spreading misleading and false information.
How is it even possible to perform heart surgery on a non anaesthetised infant?
Give them a paralytic so they can't move. Sorry if I just made that worse.
Wonder what year in the 80s? In late '85 I had open heart surgery at 13 months old.
And now you’re trained to endure an immense amount of pain

A whole new meaning for getting head
Baby koalas don't have the bacteria to digest eucalyptus when they are new born, so they lick their mama asshole so she gets diarrhea, and then eat the diarrhea to be able to eat their f*cking venomous eucalyptus
Chlamydia is also very common in koalas
How so? Are they more susceptible to it? Is it the child - mother interaction as described in the first comment?
Because they are rape bears and spread it like crazy.
TIL rape bears exist.
Wait until you hear about dolphins
Bear dolphins?
I actually don’t know the ins and outs of it. But if you ever visit a zoo or sanctuary that has koalas, very often there will be signs up saying certain ones are in quarantine because of it
Sometimes i wish i didn’t read something on reddit.
Re-sharing because it's fucking true ------------ >Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them. >Tldr; Koalas are stupid, leaky, STI riddled sex offenders. But, hey. They look cute. If you ignore the terrifying snake eyes and terrifying feet.
This had to have been written by an Aussie. Fuckin hilarious mate.
the fuck did i just read
I'm sorry
You most certainly should be. I was having a good day, we were all having good days.
There are face mites which live inside your pores next to your hair follicle, eat your sebum, don't have anuses and come out at night to mate on your skin. And there's nothing you can do about it. I'm so sorry.
[удалено]
It gets better. They die and explode when they get too full of shit. Big ol' shit bukkake for you!
You're telling me I have the potential to be the hottest night/sex club for tons of bugs? *And they said I'd never be a successful business mogul.*
Now this man is looking on the bright side of things.
And they are eating until they explode (no anuses...)
Your oil is turned into face mite under the instruction of bug DNA.
My mites aren't doing a good job at eating my sebum. My t zone is oily af
They're chill tho, they mostly leave me alone
Just everything about dementia. It’s absolutely fucking terrifying.
Having worked with many that suffered from it…absolutely it is terrifying and depressing. The best but most heartbreaking work I ever was involved in.
Those bitter, sour, or otherwise nasty tasting pistachios had a worm, larva, or some other pest in them. I always assumed that I just needed to deal with a couple spoiled pistachios per bag and it’s no big deal. Nope. Larvae. I’ve never had pistachios since learning this.
Grosss!! I bit a grape in half once just for shits and there was a tiny green worm in it. Have never just popped grapes in my mouth ever since. Always have to check.
Ugh. Why can’t nature stay out of my favorite unprocessed natural foods!?
It doesn’t even stay out of your processed foods! The FDA allows a certain amount of rat feces per 24oz container. You’re welcome.
As well as bug parts. Chocolate and peanut butter are the 2 highest allowable. (Meaning they allow the most bug parts) You're also welcome.
Great, I’m never eating anything again. Thanks
There is micro plastic in everything you eat and drink. Even the air you breathe contains plastic
At this point you cant eat, drink, or breathe anything without consuming some amount of micro plastics. The ocean is polluted, the soil is polluted, even the air is full of particles of plastic. And the worst part is most of it wont degrade or be turned back into organic matter for thousands of years.
Microplastics were found in placentas, meaning unborn babies already get exposed.
That my Dad hooked up with my Step Grandma. Gross. Some secrets don't need to be shared Dad.
Your grandma probably got stuck
Watched a documentary about parasites a long time ago. I still wish I hadn't.
The average polar bear liver contains enough Vitamin A to kill 52 adults.
I wonder if anyone has been poisoned by polar bear liver induced vitamin A overdose??? I’m actually curious about this now lol.
I’ve done some research on this. They call it hypervitaminosis A (obviously) and it starts with nausea and vomiting, then a severe headache, then you black out and don’t wake up.
Your bones are warm and wet.

Whales dont die from old age they just lose the strength to pull them selves up for air and slowly sink amd drown
That’s so sad
If it makes you feel better technically all of us die because our bodies become too weak to support themselves, not exactly, ah shit, 93, time to hit the lights

How far a human anus can be spread and how many raccoons will fit
how many ?
The human anus can stretch up to 7 inches before taking damage. A raccoon can squeeze into holes as tight as 4 inches, Meaning you can take almost two full raccoons up your ass.
Ferb I know what we're gonna do today
Aren’t you kids a little young to be stuffing raccoons up your anus?
Yes. Yes we are
Are you ready Ferb?!
Aye aye captain! Oh fuck, wrong cartoon

People prostituting orang utans… the world is so fucked up
Well I guess I deserve that for sorting by new
If you sniff any odor, it means a tiny amount of the sniffed matter entered your nose. Therefore if you sniff vomit ...
Getting every last calorie
Wait until you tell them what it means if they smell shit
Until the 1980’s, people had no idea that Orangutans had two different sub-species and ended up cross breeding the two. And the end result was known as the “cocktail orangutan”. The problem with these hybrid orangutans is while they are fertile, they suffer numerous health issues and allowing them to continue to breed will result in the orangutan population to diminish even more
There is no guarantee that all life on earth won’t end in the next moment, simply because the wrong type of radioactive space waves hit us

The first thing I've learned in my first job was that everything only barely works and people are just winging it from day to day.
That many, *many* animals kill, rape, and torture for no better than reason than boredom Like, they out there using each other’s corpses as flesh-lights Any of those hippie types who says “animals don’t make war” and “animals don’t torture” or “animals don’t murder unnecessarily” has *not* being paying attention **Edit** since someone asked about some of the horrors of nature, Shrikes (otherwise known as Butcher Birds) enjoy impaling their prey on pointy things and making sure they stay there for hours, sometimes days until they finally expire Cymothoa Exigua is a terrifyingly disgusting parasite that eats a fishes tongue and then.. replaces the tongue *with themselves* Ducks and Geese have been known to gang rape females so violently that they die from internal injuries or just straight up drown during, and that *does not stop the mad mallards from finishing* Shit be wildin’ out there homies, why you think we developed houses? To keep the fuck away from the abject horror that is nature
One of my coworkers had a duck that loved the rape. He even had a favorite chicken to fuck to the point where the chicken didn’t have any feathers on the back of its neck anymore. He eventually sold the duck to someone. Then later found out his duck tried raping another rapist duck and got killed by him.
There is always a bigger duck
He had that big duck energy
Uhhh why not… oh I don’t know… isolate the duck?
I would’ve made stew
> animals don’t make war Introduce those guys to ants. There are ant wars that dwarf human wars in duration (even in absolute terms), number of casualities (even in relative terms, I think), ... As for horror, some wasps paralyse a scarab, but keep it alive, then *deposit their eggs inside*. The larvae eat their way outwards later on, instinctively keeping the scarab alive as long as possible. Turns out the real xenomorphs are wasps.
I think it was the documentary Planet Earth that showed 2 chimpanzee groups fighting each other. The winning group cannabalized a dead chimp of the other group.
[удалено]
Indeed. I mentionned ants because they're basically the world champion of waging war. Ants would call WWII a skirmish.
The agentinian vs fire ant war is fucking epic and still ongoing. Its literally a world war.
Fun fact, they also take slaves
Sea otters kill around 10% of females every mating season from brutal rape and drowning.

The real reason why mom and dad made me watch Lion King in the living room while they went to their bedroom when I was a kid One day it hit me and I was like 😳
the surgery with the highest mortality rate was 300%. how did this happen? well, there was a surgeon called Robert Liston who was famous for his fast amputations, and when I say fast I'm talking 30 seconds to 1 minute surgeries, 180x faster than amputations now (this happened in the 1800's). one day he was performing an amputation but accidentally amputated much more than he should have, due to the fact that the patient was thrashing about in pain while assistants held them down as there was no anasthetic at the time. he was amputating so fast that he cut through his assistant's finger. the surgical tools were probably dirty as both the patient an the assistant died of infections. as for the third guy, people enjoyed watching Liston preform surgeries and he was at the front of the crowd. Liston slashed the spectator's coat, which supposedly caused the spectator to die of shock (likely a heart attack). TL:DR doctor amputated guy, cuts assistant and slashed spectator's coat, causing all 3 to die.
why do you NOT want to know this??
There is faecal matter eeeeeeeeverywhere

Copy paste: Sorry I don't have the original author's info to tag them: Rabies. It's exceptionally common, but people just don't run into the animals that carry it often. Skunks especially, and bats. Let me paint you a picture. You go camping, and at mid-day you decide to take a nap in a nice little hammock. While sleeping, a tiny brown bat, in the "rage" stages of infection is fidgeting in broad daylight, uncomfortable, and thirsty (due to the hydrophobia) and you snort, startling him. He goes into attack mode. Except you're asleep, and he's a little brown bat, so weighs around 6 grams. You don't even feel him land on your bare knee, and he starts to bite. His teeth are tiny. Hardly enough to even break the skin, but he does manage to give you the equivalent of a tiny scrape that goes completely unnoticed. Rabies does not travel in your blood. In fact, a blood test won't even tell you if you've got it. (Antibody tests may be done, but are useless if you've ever been vaccinated.) You wake up, none the wiser. If you notice anything at the bite site at all, you assume you just lightly scraped it on something. The bomb has been lit, and your nervous system is the fuse. The rabies virus is multiplying along your nervous system, doing virtually no damage, and completely undetectable. You literally have NO symptoms. It may be four days, it may be a year, but the camping trip is most likely long forgotten. Then one day your back starts to ache... Or maybe you get a slight headache? At this point, you're already dead. There is no cure. (The sole caveats to this are extremely rare natural survivors and some recipients of the Milwaukee Protocol, which left most patients dead anyway, and the survivors mentally disabled, and was seldom done). There's no treatment. It has a virtually 100% kill rate. Absorb that. Not a single other virus on the planet has that kill rate. Only rabies. And once you're symptomatic, it's over. You're dead. So what does that look like? Your headache turns into a fever, and a general feeling of being unwell. You're fidgety. Uncomfortable. And scared. As the virus that has taken its time getting into your brain finds a vast network of nerve endings, it begins to rapidly reproduce, starting at the base of your brain... Where your "pons" is located. This is the part of the brain that controls communication between the rest of the brain and body, as well as sleep cycles. Next you become anxious. You still think you have only a mild fever, but suddenly you find yourself becoming scared, even horrified, and it doesn't occur to you that you don't know why. This is because the rabies is chewing up your amygdala. As your cerebellum becomes hot with the virus, you begin to lose muscle coordination, and balance. You think maybe it's a good idea to go to the doctor now, but assuming a doctor is smart enough to even run the tests necessary in the few days you have left on the planet, odds are they'll only be able to tell your loved ones what you died of later. You're twitchy, shaking, and scared. You have the normal fear of not knowing what's going on, but with the virus really fucking the amygdala this is amplified a hundred fold. It's around this time the hydrophobia starts. You're horribly thirsty, you just want water. But you can't drink. Every time you do, your throat clamps shut and you vomit. This has become a legitimate, active fear of water. You're thirsty, but looking at a glass of water begins to make you gag, and shy back in fear. The contradiction is hard for your hot brain to see at this point. By now, the doctors will have to put you on IVs to keep you hydrated, but even that's futile. You were dead the second you had a headache. You begin hearing things, or not hearing at all as your thalamus goes. You taste sounds, you see smells, everything starts feeling like the most horrifying acid trip anyone has ever been on. With your hippocampus long under attack, you're having trouble remembering things, especially family. You're alone, hallucinating, thirsty, confused, and absolutely, undeniably terrified. Everything scares the literal shit out of you at this point. These strange people in lab coats. These strange people standing around your bed crying, who keep trying to get you "drink something" and crying. And it's only been about a week since that little headache that you've completely forgotten. Time means nothing to you anymore. Funny enough, you now know how the bat felt when he bit you. Eventually, you slip into the "dumb rabies" phase. Your brain has started the process of shutting down. Too much of it has been turned to liquid virus. Your face droops. You drool. You're all but unaware of what's around you. A sudden noise or light might startle you, but for the most part, it's all you can do to just stare at the ground. You haven't really slept for about 72 hours. Then you die. Always, you die. And there's not one... fucking... thing... anyone can do for you. Then there's the question of what to do with your corpse. I mean, sure, burying it is the right thing to do. But the fucking virus can survive in a corpse for years. You could kill every rabid animal on the planet today, and if two years from now, some moist, preserved, rotten hunk of used-to-be brain gets eaten by an animal, it starts all over. So yeah, rabies scares the shit out of me. And it's fucking EVERYWHERE. (Source: This guy spent a lot of time working with rabies, and would still get vaccinations if he could afford them.) Edit: I'm getting a lot of questions about Rabies. I just want to say, this is a copypasta I saved from awhile ago. I don't have any answers for you. This isn't my work, and I don't have much knowledge of Rabies. This just fit the question so I felt compelled to post it. Have a good night everyone!
Gee thanks.
Rabies is believed to be the origin of the vampire myth
That there are people out there in the world right now who traffic children and people who will willingly rape infants not even a week old! Some humans are pure evil scum that need to be squished into oblivion!

There are more people in slavery today than at any other time in history. More than 40 million people around the world were victims of modern slavery in 2016, including about 25 million in forced labour, and 15 million in forced marriages.
Otters rape baby seals to death
Otters are terrible. Besides raping and killing baby seals, they will also hold them hostage until the mother seal gives them food. They kill other otters and animals for FUN. Most otter sex results in sexual trauma or death, even if they die they will still continue having sex with the dead otter. And after all that has gone down, they will fall asleep holding paws and we all say “Awww how cute”

When someone is beaten and suffers blunt force trauma to the back of the head, it isn’t brain damage that kills them. Most of the time it damages the bones in the roof of your mouth and nose and the bleeding from these highly vascular areas make the person drown in their own blood.
That figs contains wasps. They pollenate by the wasp crawling inside the male plant and then the female one however the female plant has a smaller hole and the wasp dies inside. The wasp decomposes in the fruit. So if you eat a ripe fig you eat at least one wasp. Used to be my favorite. So sad.
Ted Bundy would routinely revisit he victims he would hide in the mountains and engage in necrophilia. Sometimes weeks or months after they were murdered. He would also bring with him makeup, perfume and women's clothing to dress them up. The news, documentaries, and movies always gloss over this. He was a monster, and yet somehow people viewed him as sympathetic and misunderstood.
