There’s never a bad time to share a fun fact. You can easily break the ice in any conversation or lighten the mood by sharing some information that others might find amusing. But what are we supposed to do with all of those unsettling, uncomfortable and upsetting facts that are floating around inside our brains?
Today, we’re dedicating our attention to disturbing info, pandas. Redditors have recently been sharing some of the least fun facts that they know, so we’ve gathered some that you might not want to know down below. I’ll warn you right now to keep reading at your own risk, and be sure to upvote the facts you wish weren’t true!

I'm in my thirties still but I have several chronic pain conditions. I can't help but wonder how much worse the pain is going to get the older I get.
Blue Bunny of Happiness 1 year ago
Often its due to muscle muscle wastage and frailty and nothing to do with pain. Pain is not a part of the normal aging process. Chronic or persistent pain can affect anyone of any age and is recognised as a condition in its own right in the WHO ICD-11

I completely agree. I am mid 30s and have lupus and RA. I feel like I am old, lol. The pain doesn't slow down, it's the stiffness, the weakness and the general attempts to not hurt myself. If anything , the pain makes me go faster so I can get back to sitting.

I started weight training about a year and a half ago and at 43 I feel better, younger, and more mobile than I did for all of my 30s. I cannot recommend enough the health benefits that come with stretching and lifting weights, even if all you can do to start out is your body weight or a 5lb dumbbell press. You'll get stronger and stronger and more and more limber and you won't believe you're in the same body as when you started. It's never too late. My 75 year father just got started after having both hips replaced and is starting to feel the effects as well.

I am extremely fortunate and have a motorised wheelchair because of chronic pain/fatigue and joint problems, which I bought with disability payments, and it makes life so much easier. I feel so guilty when I'm zooming to the shops and I pass an elderly person shuffling along slowly and clearly struggling.

I was a social worker. I saw a lot.
The first three weeks, we were in a classroom doing intensive training. Every day, someone would walk out. It wasn’t out of being rude, it’s because each person has a point at which they cannot go any further. They showed us some of the worst. The deal is, they do it for very good reason. If we are so horrified that we refuse to learn about the abuse, how will we recognize it in one of our kids?
That’s what I ask of all adults. PLEASE, if you see something, don’t assume it’s impossible so you can push it out of your mind. A whole lot is possible.

Indeed, it is horrifying. My father was a juvenile probation officer (the best, kind, empathetic. Kids sought him out years later to thank him) and one day we were coming out of a dept store & we saw a woman slapping a very young child. He told me to go to our car & he would be back shortly. He went to the woman, talked to her handed her his card and said that he would help in any way he could. What he said (years later) is that if someone is willing to do something like that in public, god knows what they will do behind closed doors. Never forgot that......

Oh wow, this wouldn't be a problem for me at all. I thought about being a social worker. I wanted to give kids a chance I never had. I read stories, articles and books on childhood trauma and abuse frequently. I study psychology a lot. I know a lot about personality disorders and mental health. More into Cluster B personalitys. My dad was a malignant narcissist and my mom was just really messed up from her PDs. Been through the abuse. I'm not so sensitive or surprised when I see it and read about it with others even the more horrific stuff. ( I do have empathy. Not the problem.) I usually end up studying the parents psychological state and their childhood trauma. Its very interesting to me. Repeated cycles. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of mental health treatment, doesn't seem to really work well enough. Its outrageous in the US. Almost feels like a luxury or scam. You Gotta want it. Gotta show up. Even then a person still suffers and takes years to improve. Medication isn't always the answer. Sometimes it makes it worse like Abilify. They give that out like candy. There needs a lot of improvement in the mental health field.

Everything you just said is precisely why we need more passionate, devoted social workers and mental healthcare workers. And also, the last part of your post is part of the reason we don't. People who do this...passion and dedication can only take you so far when you work within a broken system. And yet, where would millions of children and adults be without them? We all need people like you, for however long you're willing or able to do the job.

I started a career in human services. I was required to shadow a social worker and on the first day, we picked up a couple of little girls from a foster home. One of them smelled like they had a yeast infection (yes, it was THAT noticeable). She cried because she wanted to see her mom but the social worker told her she couldn't until the mom moved out of the boyfriend's house. It was so sad. I couldn't go any further. It tore my heart too much.

Chainsaws were invented for medical use, largely for cutting into the pelvis during childbirth in a process called a pelviotomy. And from about 1940 to 1987, approximately 1,500 women were given one in Ireland without their consent, way after they should have switched to C-sections, often to perfect the surgery for use in Africa.
A 2012 study found that many of the victims say the Catholic Church "encouraged, if not insisted upon, symphysiotomies."
It took until 2012 for people to begin getting any compensation and the first woman to receive it was subjected to the procedure *post cesarian.* However, they dropped the ball so hard on addressing it afterwards that the survivor's group of these women had to go to the UN Committee Against Torture to get anything else done.
Some babies were also killed in the process.
Greg Hedley 1 year ago
The hand-cranked chainsaw was invented to cut pelvic bone in 1787. Childbirth became easier in some circumstances. It wasn't used as a matter of course. And strangely enough it saved lives. The use in African countries was usually after very extended labour when the child was already dead. Look up the research on women with nonhealiing fistulae. Consent was never sought in Ireland.

As far as why we're so drawn to these unsettling facts, the OP says, "I suppose our species in general is highly peculiar, hence it's fascination for disturbing facts, whether full of gore or just a tad bit strange."
And as far as what they thought of the replies to their post, they told Bored Panda, "The comments bombarded me with many unusual, as well as some upsetting, facts. The strangest one I had come across was where a user had commented about dolphins being able to be sexually attracted to humans, and they can or will act upon these desires when given an opportunity."

Also, there are airborne microplastics everywhere. Even hundreds of miles from land, they're windborne, and also released into the air from seawater. It's not just what you might think of as plastic - synthetic fabrics are a source of microplastics in our homes. Polyester, nylon, polyamide, acrylic etc, are everywhere in clothing and soft furnishings. Every time they're washed, dried, worn, used, they shed microplastics. They are in every breath you take, and on every bite of food you eat. It's not just the tiny bits of fuzz you might see floating from a garment that sheds, synthetics are also shedding micro and nano plastics too small to see with the naked eye.

That Munmorah power plant in Australia was allowed to operate for decades with a significant diesel leak in an underground reservoir that contaminated the water table. When demolishing the plant you could light the sand that surrounded the tank on fire (about 50 meters each way), and if you dug lower than the sea level anywhere within a I guess about a 1km radius you could smell diesel.
It's a high fishing surfing area. That was far from the only contaminant. Pfas, Pfos, chromium, etc. People live very close to it. People eat the fish for years from the hot water outlet. (Was a super popular "secret" fishing spot)
Also during the demolition there was lots of contaminated water collected - This was sent through a filtration process and pumped into the ocean. It had multiple sediment filters and a water/oil separator. I do not believe it was adequate filtration before it was sent back into the sea.
No one seems to know. I only know because I was part of the works post operation.

One more thing, please understand CSA covers more than full on rape. It can be done by exposure to images or audio of a sexual nature, touching inappropriately, even French kissing as happened to me once as an 8 year old by a 35 year old man who said this was was the way grown ups kissed. Unfortunately for him he underestimated my gag reflex and recent consumption of two glasses of grape Kool Aid.

When gas was introduced into common households during the industrial revolutions, people started paying more attention to what they put on their walls, now that they were lit up. They began decorating more, and wallpaper became a much more important part of the modern home. At the time, green was a very popular colour, as it had never really been an option to decorate with that colour before. However the green colour was obtained with Arsenic (as white paints were often obtained through a lead product). After a while, wear and tear made it so that people literally started breathing in bits of their arsenic wallpapers, and feeling bad within their homes. Their doctors would then suggest they go on holiday to the sea, as the ocean air often had proven a successful remedy. But of course, it was a remedy simply because they were no longer breathing in arsenic. The companies that made these wallpapers were well aware of their nefarious effects, but it took people boycotting "en masse" for them to actually stop production, several decades later.

Companies deliberately using ingredients they KNOW will make consumers ill, or possibly kill them - why has this never been made illegal? Why haven't we, as a country, as a world, enacted laws against this, with punishments so severe that companies wouldn't think it's worth doing just to make more money? And even now, why aren't the penalties stiffer? The fines most get are a drop in the bucket compared to their profits! Hit'em harder in the wallet! Yeah, pay HUGE fines,but also make it harder for them to advance for several years as a punishment.

This has been true since mankind invented commerce. Until the nature of humanity changes, it will continue. Even laws do not stop people who care more for wealth than safety. They find loopholes, new ways to cover up wrongdoing, and blatantly lie about their products until the harm they cause is too great to ignore anymore. And even then, they can sometimes continue to do what they do. The tobacco industry comes to mind -- they knew their product was deadly for decades, and even added things that made it more deadly, like asbestos filters. Every time they've been caught at something, they pay out a major lawsuit, satisfy whatever minimal court orders there are, and continue business as usual. When massive amounts of money talks, morality walks.

Some of the things he's had done were pretty brutal. But he hasn't developed cancer, so he's willing to put up with it. If only he'd worn sunscreen and hats on his damn head!!

During the cleanup of Pearl Harbor, as the recovery crews for *USS West Virginia (BB-48)* got deeper into the ship months after the attack, they discovered bodies high in the engine room and a locked storeroom where air bubbles had kept them alive for **2 weeks** based on calendars they used to keep track of time. That was "well after" divers had made their first passes over the ship listening for sounds of survivors.

One of the more recent things I learned about is the Paria diving disaster - where four divers got sucked up into an underwater pipe and three of them got stuck in there. The company decided to wait until they were dead instead of doing a rescue operation because money. They said they heard banging for three days until it finally stopped. Not a fun way to go, inside a dark pipe alone, cold and scared. Damn, may those souls rest in peace.

I'm sorry but that is not strictly true. First of all, it was a five man team and one of the divers was rescued. While it is true that LMCS who employed the divers and Paria, the oil company did not carry out a rescue attempt for the four remaining divers, there is no suggestion by any party involved that it had anything to do with costs. The Trinidad and Tobago coastguard refused to authorise any further rescue attempts as footage obtained by ROV's and other divers indicated that there was simply too high a risk to the rescue divers and too little chance of success.

It’s incredibly common for people to be eaten by their pets if they die alone. However, it is WAY more likely in cats than in dogs. Cats will pretty much eat you as soon as their food runs out, if they have any. Some of them will eat you even before their food runs out. Dogs are different, they will only eat you out of necessity, if they’ve exhausted all previous foodstuffs that they can get to and if they can’t escape from the property and it will be days before that happens.
There is a reason for this. Dogs are omnivores. They will primarily eat meat but can eat vegetables. They can survive without meat. Cats are obligate carnivores, which means they HAVE to eat meat. There’s a specific protein that they can only get from meat and it’s essential for their organs to operate properly, otherwise, they will die and it’s not a quick, quiet death either. So given the absense of meat, your pet cat will eat your soft squishy bits first. Usually the face.

Greater than half the population of the USA reads at or below fourth grade level.
The Darkest Timeline 1 year ago
We hear this type of statistic a lot but it isn’t accurate (it’s a sixth grade level, not fourth) and isn’t informative; most people have no idea what it means to read at a “sixth grade level.” For instance, if I told you that 79% of Americans have medium to high literacy skills, would that mean anything to you? But, more important to understand is who suffers from illiteracy the most (mostly the poor and immigrants) and how it happens. I have a sneaking suspicion that when people say things like this, the implication is that “American schools suck!” but it’s more complex than that; those outcomes are completely in line with how we treat the poor, fund our schools and view education in general. It’s also important to note that a lot of schools and teachers were sold a bill of goods over the past few decades by “whole language” reading programs that failed generations of students.

The ones they can, since 12 people died last year, but there are 5 they can't find, I'm not sure about the other 2 though (perhaps they've already been retrieved). They're also issuing tracking chips to all climbers so that even if they cannot be saved, they can be tracked. They can also be used to track which areas they use the most, so they can better hold people accountable for their literal garbage.

When it came out I was looking at the announcement when I saw my friend's name and got really excited thinking she had also given birth. To my horror I realised that she was in the obituary column so I called her husband. He said that she had told him she had a headache and he told her to go to bed and he'd bring her a cup of tea. Then he turned around to go to the kitchen when she collapsed on the floor. He called for an ambulance and started cpr and got her back just as the paramedics arrived and took her straight to hospital. She never woke up. They did a c-section and saved the baby but she died.

Related to that, we don't notice when we have the human equivalent of dead pixels in our human screens (our retinas). You can lose not insignficant chunks of your range of vision, but your brain just...fills it in. VERY much the same way Photoshop can extrapolate from surrounding pixels to fill in a blank spot. This is why one of the early stages of blindness is not "missing vision" or having black spots, it's not seeing something that you should have noticed. Not seeing something small right in front of you, not noticing a hand or a bird or a sign even though you were looking at it, because you brain was just filling in generic background and couldn't actually see what was there. And you have no idea when it's happening. To you, something just...is wiped from reality.

Horses are just weird in general from evolving basically to run away from anything. This means that when in a gallop, they just stop breathing entirely and let the flexible stomach lining move the lungs, which is super efficient on calories but really bad for anything related to the heart.

Rabbits are unable to vomit too. If your vet tells you to starve a rabbit before surgery, get a new vet ASAP!
Jeevesssssss 1 year ago
This is because their cardiac sphincter (controlling the entrance to their stomach) is a one-way-only valve. I assume it evolved that way because they have long necks and spend most of their time with their heads down grazing? Just a guess.
Upstaged75 1 year ago
It's a bit more complicated than that. There is a one-way valve in their stomach. Contents can only move in one direction - out the butt. ;) And there are different degrees of colic - sometimes it's just gas and easily resolved. Other times their intestines can twist and the only cure is surgery. I've lost one horse to colic when they started surgery and realized there was too much damage. I lost another horse to colic when he got cast (stuck somewhere) overnight. He was quite old so surgery was not an option. Their intestines basically hang in their abdominal cavity rather than being attached somewhere. So the possibility for something to go wrong is large. For being such powerful animals they are really very fragile.
Pyla 1 year ago
Well, that's a partial truth. They don't necessarily die if there is gas or a blockage. You can mitigate it with many things and sometimes surgery. In the wild horses eat and run, they don't ruminate and they didn't evolve to stand around. They ran from their predators and so they eat a lot and it moves through them quickly (as anyone who has cleaned a stall well knows)

A rare medication reaction called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome can cause your skin to blister and eventually peel off similar to a third degree burn victim. It's a horrible d**g reaction and has a very high mortality rate.
It can be caused by almost any medication, including ones you have already taken before and had no prior reaction to. The most common medications that cause it are antibiotics and anti-epileptic medications.

She died between being taken out of my house (2nd fl condo) and before the ambulance (on scene) pulled out. All the EMT said was she became uresponsive. They tried for 30 minutes at the hospital to revive her. I dont know exactly when my mother passed and I dont think I actually want to know. The last time I saw her (as she was getting carried out) she was alive. She told me "Itll be ok little fellar". Thought she meant her, she was telling me, Ill be ok. Sometimes not knowing is better.

It can take longer than 30 minutes to extract your body from a crushed car depending on many different factors- where the car is (road, ditch, ravine, bottom of a mountain, under water), as well as how crushed the car is and how entangled your body is, whether or not there's fire, a fuel spill, etc. 30 minutes or 3 hours, if you're dead there's no rush to get you out of the vehicle, the safety of the extraction crew will be more important.
