50 Of The Most Disturbing Facts About The World That Might Freak You Out, As Shared By This TikToker

The US is “Developed?”

I was assaulted when I was 20 and was in the ICU for 7 weeks, and in the hospital for 5 months. It was over a million dollars in billing. I ended up having to file for bankruptcy at 21 years old because I couldn't pay it. I was living in NY at school. After getting out of the hospital I moved back home for 8 weeks just to get back to work and save up to pay for first last and security for a new apartment. I was really lucky i could even do that. I was trying to pay rent with these massive bills. I don't know if anyone here has ever had major hospital payments, but you get like 30 bills a day. Radiology, radiology, radiology, surgery, observation, Intensive care, more radiology... It's just never ending. The maillady couldn't fit them in my mailbox at one point and had to leave them leaning against the wall. I saved and paid for my entire college tuition myself with no help and I worked 2 jobs to pay for it outright. I had savings. I didn't go to parties or hang out with friends, etc. because I knew my hard work would pay off. And it was all gone because of something that was done to me. And my credit was bad for almost 10 yrs because of it. I had planned to buy a house when I was 25 but couldn't even qualify until I was 30. Now my credit is perfect as it's been years since the bankruptcy, but I can't afford to do it now with the prices as they are. I'm stuck paying 1800 in rent a month because I can't afford 800K for a house back then I could have gotten for 350k.(1)

Currently in medical debt from having a surgery that no one would perform for 8 years because no one believed me. 🙃 At least I can say that I was right?

Don't get too cocky there, America, 'cause Canada's right behind you! At least, my province of Ontario is closer to privatizing healthcare than ever before *virtual spit* Doug Ford sucks.

I’m part of this percentage. It’s frightening and I didn’t ask them to save my life. It hangs over my head every. single. day.

The little mermaid k!lled herself & changed into foam °•° Hänsel & Gretel k!lled the witch by burning her alive °•° at the wedding of snowwhite her stepmom was forced to dance, wearing red hot iron shoes, until she d!ed °•° sleeping beauty was r@ped by the prince (who fled) birthed twins, never waking up until one of her children sucked out the thorn °•°•°•° tbh little red riding hood is one of the less cruel ones

There is no "original". Most common children's tales were common stories with many different variations, passed down through generations of mostly illiterate people who wanted their young children to stay safe. The Grimm brothers merely collected, edited and eventually canonized these tales. Different versions can still be found, mostly around Europe (I really don't know enough about other places so maybe not mostly).

the girl was tricked when the "grandma" actually told her to eat "some meat" and then take off all her clothes. the wolf revealed himself as the grandma (or the other way around), then ate little red riding hood.

This is like every original fairy tale. In the origin of Cinderella, Baba Yaga gives Vasalisa a skull that shoots fire and she kills her family.

The original didn’t get past the proof reader.

Homelessness is not primarily caused by lack of housing.

The vacant housing is not located where the homeless people are located and since most homeless do not have jobs they couldn't afford the homes if there were located in the same place. To solve the homelessness problem, it will take a lot more than building houses. https://www.humanrightscareers.com/issues/root-causes-of-homelessness/#:~:text=On%20a%20global%20scale%2C%20poverty,a%20person's%20or%20family's%20risk.

Homeless in the states is indicator of mental health, not wealth.

Rent is too high. America is a capitalist country. All they ever think about is how to make money.

Not going to be popular, but there's homelessness and there's trash. There are a good many of homeless people that lived one crisis away from being homeless before that crisis happened. They do the best they can. Then there's the people that choose to live in filth and drugs and booze. You could give them a home and a job and whatever they needed and it won't matter. They won't help better themselves. They will lie and steal and do whatever to live for themselves. The problem isn't homelessness. It's addiction. It's poor choices. It's laziness. Addiction is a terrible thing. And it's hard to control. But in my profession, I deal with it all the time. I had a homeless person stay with me for a while. She was great. Clean, helpful, sweet. Until it was time to get her fix. Off she would go before she came back to clean up. Her husband was another story. Peed in bottles in the house (I had two bathrooms). Didn't shower. Didn't wash his clothes. Was always on the hustle.

Most users are dead inside anyway

That makes sense, given that Facebook is cancer.

I deleted my account. I don't care if I still get birthday messages. I'm aware of when my birthday is. FB is a toxic space.

I want to keep my fb account and have it say, loving being the living dead!

And the number of people older that you gets smaller every day.

My entire life is a horror movie sound track apparently

I thought that this may be illegal, as is the case with subliminal cuts, but it appears that it is and has been used in some well know films. See https://www.skillsetmag.com/infrasound-the-hidden-horror-movie-sound/

I hate horror films, even though I love reading horror. I guess that's because I can control the images when it's my imagination creating them. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's also got something to do with sound effects like this. We are influenced by sound we can't hear, just like by light that we can't see.

Not enough. I haven't been truly scared from a movie in a long time and I wish I could be. I miss that feeling. There just aren't any truly scary movies out there anymore. I think it doesn't help that real life is scary enough so movies don't really do it for me anymore, lol. I'm not sure if scary movies will ever be able to be truly scary ever again.
