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.

What's sad to me is that it is clear many people who claim to be Christians have never actually read and thought about the teachings in the Gospels. Yes, we are all flawed human beings. I am deeply flawed. But if you don't try care about each and every person as they are, where they are, and express that in your actions, I am not sure you know God at all. Saving (and judging) the world is God's job. Treating each other with kindness, respect, and love is ours.

That's because biological women are rarely part of any medical studies. The vast majority of medical testing is done on males. The reason for that is pregnancy. The risk of being pregnant is a high risk for additional damage. Do they get left out. Sometimes even in studies that concern majorly biological women. The pain threshold and reaction to medication is hugely different between biological males and biological females. They have different bone density and different metabolism. That's why often the doses of medications are too small for women. The studies are made with men, the dosage was tested on men, but a biological male of the same weight and height than a woman has a smaller percentage of fat in the body (to just name one of the many factors that impact the function of medicine) and thus for need less medication to treat their issues. So then the women get the dosage that would work for a boy, but is useless for them. But when a man comes, they get what they need.

Also, how you're treated by your parents. My sister had unconditional love and was never psychologically, emotionally, or sexually abused. Never gaslighted, always believed (even when she lied), and always always supported. I was sexually abused, constantly told I wasn't good enough and would never amount to anything, told I was miserable, and told I was too sensitive, among so many other things. The fact that I haven't offed myself is because I have extraordinary friends and a brother who has always had my back. And I have pets. How you're raised 100% impacts your level of success.

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.

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.

I DID think 50 was old. And if you look at pics of back in the day, people were old at 50/60. Pretending modern medicine/safety/regulations has had no effect on the life expectancy is delusional. SOME people DID live till 80, but not nearly as many as today. And the ones who were dying at 60 were OLD

While recovering from my hysterectomy in prison, I was in the hospital section. I'd been in prison about eight years then. A nurse said he was surprised I was still locked up. I told him I still had a few years to go, then I said, "But I deserved what I got." He said that in all his years working there, he's never heard anyone say that before.

Members Of This Online Group Are Annoyed People Won’t Accept These 35 Facts That Are 100% True 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 kill 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.

Of course I would press a button for a million dollars regardless of 10 people randomly dying as a consequence. We have a lot of people, they are dying randomly at high rates on their own as I'm typing this and nobody's paying me anything. This is a morality question that gets trotted out and is completely meaningless.
