Members Of This Online Group Are Annoyed People Won’t Accept These 33 Facts That Are 100% True
Have you ever found out that something you’ve believed your entire life was a bald-faced lie? I know I have. Not even once, either!
Stuff like that kinda shakes you. From there, you’ve got two options, really. The first is to accept it and move on with your life, a tiny bit wiser. The other is to deny it, building a shield of bias and comfort around you.
You’d be surprised how many people choose the latter. Keep reading to find out more about these hard-to-accept facts that many would rather ignore.

That Jesus in the new testament was *wildly* opposed to what would become the traditions and practices of Christian fundamentalists.

#2
That having children is not for everyone, that it’s not all sunshine and the meaning of life and millions of people regret being parents.
#3
“Invisible” health conditions like Dysautonomia, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Also ADHD. People think you are faking just to get Adderall.
#5
Based on some disturbing podcasts and articles I’ve been hearing, womens health issues, particularly their pain. Apparently most doctors of both sexes, are quick to dismiss and downplay our pain rather than oh I don’t know treating it?
#9
That financial success has largely to do with Luck (Where you were born, who your parents are, etc)
#11
Built in obsolescence (planned obsolescence) - shocked how many people dont believe it happens
#12
Autism diagnoses. Myself and lots of autistic people I know are often told by people who seem to base their entire knowledge of autism off the movie Rain Man are like "but you don't seem autistic." Research on autism has changed a lot since the 80s but public perception has changed very little.
#13
Skin cancer from not wearing sunblock. It absolutely blows my mind when grown a*s adults brag about not wearing sunscreen. Like it’s a real point of pride for them. Enjoy your early wrinkles and spots.
#20
When I went to sea I would see the occasional flying fish, it was surprising how many people thought I was pulling their leg when I told them about it.
#22
Being 35-50 wasn’t considered “elderly” back in the day. It was common for people to live into their 70s and 80s. The reason we get “average lifespan” data with such low numbers is because so many babies died, skewing the average values downward.
#24
that they are good humans because they have good thoughts. you have to **do** good to be a good person. the world is full of people complaining , but we are in need of people willing to sacrifice and not make it about themselves
#27
You don't know how to fight unless you've been trained or have experience in fighting. Most people imagine themselves beating a*s only to have reality smash them in the nose. A lot of people even injure themselves just trying to throw punches.
#29
Nations that are ostensibly 'enemies' trade and cooperate a great deal more than people generally believe.
#32
That most people would do some pretty awful things for money if presented the opportunity. People would like to believe that they have strong morals but if presented with a button that would [end] 10 random people in the world in exchange for 1 million dollars, many would press it. I would guess at least half of the population would. And many would press it multiple times. But not many people would actually admit that they would press it if given the opportunity to. Maybe I am just too cynical and not many would press it, but this hypothetical situation is something I think about a lot.

Oof this is a huge one and very subtle compared to most stuff commented in here so far.
We love to think we are creating this world of diversity and inclusion, but once you scratch the surface it is all just a facade, tokenisation all the way down. Even the people preaching those values tend to do so from the comfort of a highly homogenous group.
