“Someone Saw Him Dancing With The Corpse”: 50 Of The Most Unsettling Facts People Ever Heard

This is the first time I've seen this fact on a list like this. It's true. In an itemisation of more than 100 tons of waste collected from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, less than half came from a land-based source. More than half came from fishing boats: nets, floats, buoys, and crates washed overboard.

Large fishing corporation's Should be held responsible for this but they never are sadly 😭😞

And since a big proportion of the ships and boats are "illegal" without identification, all their toilet waste and other garbage goes overboard to steadily kill the oceans. This is partly so they don't have to pay high port waste disposal charges and partly so they were just out "testing the engines" or some other bs.

Watch Seaspriacy on Netflix! Great documentary

International waters are essentially unregulated, so if an illegal fishing boat takes off from a private harbor in a country without strong laws or enforcement, once they reach international waters they can basically do whatever they want without repercussions. Dump waste, throw away nets, garbage, whatever. Then just head back home with their catch and make more money than the boats that are doing things the right way. We need the world to work together and create a solution to this problem. Instead, we made laws against plastic straws, it's like plugging one hole in a failing dam with a piece of gravel.

Refeeding syndrome?

It was a terrible thing to happen - liberation, and then death brought on by people who thought they were being kind and doing the right thing. One glimmer of good has come from this horrible situation, aid workers in disaster zones are trained in how to help safely help people back to health.

I've seen refeeding syndrome happen to people in early recovery as well because they've often been undertaking for years while using or drinking.

Reminds me of a webcomic where a boy who had been abandoned by his mother and was starving for days finally breaks into someone's house and steals some food--only to immediately feel sick because apparently, that's what happens after someone's been starving for quite some time.

My Grandfather saw this in allied troops held in Japanese camps.

Holy s**t is that why my great grandma died!?!?! I heard my dad saying she was refusing to eat, then she died two days later...I was devastated because I thought she was getting better since she was more lucid

Wanted to add another point. Quite often, other reasons why people with dementia pass away are that they forget that they have taken their regular medications and accidentally overdose on them. Specially medications for diabetes and hypertension when overdosed puts them in a coma they never wake up from. Also, quite many people forget how to breathe. they just cannot remember how to breathe and suffocate to death.

A friend’s grandma ended up in the hospital and eventually passed away because, even though it seemed like she was doing ok, they found out she’d forgotten how to swallow properly, and bits of food had been accumulating in her lungs for months. By the time they caught it she had a terminal respiratory infection from it. It was incredibly sad.

My mother in law passed 3 years ago from dementia. She had been on a medication but her husband would get forgetful or she would fight him on taking pills or just throw them out. She went from being sweet to combative to being like a 3 year old. Some speech. We got them into a care home a they were there about two years before she went totally down hill. She passed at 92 still walking an making some words but he could control her and would basically sit all day. It's a long story but at the end she just sort of withered away into her mind and they told us she had stopped eating. We all took turns being with her and talking to her. Yes it's sad. They just shut down and drift into their minds and then the body ends itself. He passed a few years later and was in his mind but his body just couldn't anymore after he took a small fall. It's the adrenaline for most elderly when a fall happens. It just gives one last push and the body can't handle it. So they are even weaker. I miss them.

I worked in senior living for 10 years. And this is very, very true. Always. My seniors citizens,I loved taking care of all of them. Every day was different ,I never knew what I was walking into every single morning! I do miss it. I miss taking care of them, NOT the administration part of it . SAHM now:)

That must be torture

Something similar happened to one of our friend's daughter. Her boyfriend killed her... everyone knew it. He would have got away with it except 10 years later he killed again and dumped the body in the same place. Someone found that body and when they did, they found skeletal remains as well. Those remains were our friend's daughter.

I feel for you. What a horrific thing to endure.

This is really heartbreaking to hear. You are right though. If you do something to him, your children lose their father. That can't happen.

"we know who did it, but there's no evidence"

the last goodbye

In our area we call it Rallying. Unfortunately many families don't understand and think their loved one is recovering.

My grandfather who I hadn't seen in 10 years had a brain tumor and was so far gone he spoke of my mom in her 40s as if she were a little girl still. Then, suddenly one day he got so much better and was perfectly lucid and in reality and I was promised to see him next day, and on that morning he passed.

My mother wasn't much of a mother and I have a lot of issues due to our dysfunctional family. When the dementia started setting in, she was insistent on moving to Florida from DC. Although I lived in Florida, it wasn't to be closer to me. She had just always wanted to live in Florida and spent every winter elsewhere in the state. I think she just didn't want her friends and acquaintances to witness her decline. But anyway, we move her the 1,000 miles. Visited her in assisted living for four months with her basically being non-responsive and never once referring to be my name. OTOH, every time my wife came along, she enthusiastically greeted her like she hadn't seen her in over a year. Her last night before she slipped into a coma, she looked at me and said "I'm sorry you had to go through this." She died the next day. Still tears me up, especially knowing that the family didn't have to be so dysfunctional, just as hers was. I think it may have gone back generations.

My husbands grandad died a few weeks ago and they were all so surprised at how "alert" he was given he was on palliative care - I didn't have the heart to say outright but said the staff knows the signs, and he was 94

i think 99% are fake. because I doubt that all these people film themselves constantly, while they walk, eat, work, do their shopping...

Virtue signalling. Hate it.

Disgusting people!
