    Only In Australia: A Plant That Can Cause Severe Pain For Years

    Potted deadly stinger plant enclosed in wire cage with warning sign about intense pain from touch, disturbing photos theme.

    According to wild life officer Ernie Rider, who was slapped across the torso and the face in 1973:

    “For two or three days the pain was almost unbearable; I couldn't work or sleep... I remember it feeling like there were giant hands trying to squash my chest... then it was pretty bad pain for another fortnight or so. The stinging persisted for two years and recurred every time I had a cold shower...There's nothing to rival it; it's ten times worse than anything else.”

    In June 2019, Illinois Teen Riley Horner Suffered A Head Injury From A Falling Crowd Surfer. After The Accident, Her Memory Reset Every Two Hours, Leaving Her To Wake Up Each Day Thinking It Was Still June 11

    Young woman speaking in an interview next to a hospital bed scene, illustrating disturbing photos that might keep you awake.

    Several doctors initially diagnosed Riley with a typical concussion, but it didn’t explain her memory resetting.

    After months of searching, her family found Dr. Mark Allen, who recognized signs of a concussion but suspected a deeper issue.

    Riley’s brain had failed to recalibrate after the injury, altering how her brain cells received oxygen.

    Allen explained that while the problem was minor and treatable, leaving it unchecked could lead to serious complications.

    Strange suffered hyponatremia, or acute water intoxication.

    Immediate medical care with an IV sodium drip to counteract the water might have saved her, the doctor testified. Instead, Strange went home and collapsed. She was found dead about six hours later.

    Contrary to their seemingly docile appearance, hippos are among the most dangerous animals in Africa. Their jaws exert a pressure of 2,000 pounds per square inch, enough to k**l a human instantly. Known for their aggression and territorial nature, they attack boats and people without warning. Their behavior is unpredictable, especially when young calves are nearby. Despite their size and slow appearance, hippos are deceptively fast and highly aggressive on land and water.

    The spotted hyena is often depicted comically, but in reality, it is one of the most formidable predators. Its bite force is capable of crushing bones effortlessly, making it a highly effective hunter and scavenger. Hyenas possess strong jaws, endurance, and intelligence, often working in coordinated packs. While they rarely attack humans, they are not creatures to be underestimated.

    All those who think Trump is doing a good thing by deporting illegal immigrants will cry when food prices go through the roof and restaurants and hotels start closing down. These people keep huge industries alive. The US state of Georgia found this out the hard way. They deported and lost millions in agricultural profits. Nebraska will be bankrupt shortly, as they deported and, funny thing, no American wants to do farm work.

    a very interesting article was published shortly after trump gave the green light to ice to basically scoop and deport people without due process. it was about how some farmers in texas and a couple of other states were petitioning to slow down the deportation of immigrants because their livelihoods were being hit and leading them into banckrupcy. the funny part of the article was that there were self-identified maga voters who were regretting having voted for trump. frankly, i had little sympathy for them because they were examples of the classic phrase 'cutting off your nose to spite your faith'.

    For all the comments saying he deserves it, I think you missed the part where he’s not a criminal. He’s a f*****g gay makeup artist. That’s all he’s done. He didn’t murder people. And if you are trying to say, as comments I have seen here do, that he deserves that for being gay, let me remind you that all he did was be gay. He’s not a r ​apist, he’s not a killer, and no, not all gay people are sickos. @Anonymous User, yes he is really in pain. His freedom is being taken away from him because of who he loves. This is not a political statement about the Orange Man. I’m not even American. But I do believe that human rights should be respected. This isn’t a speech to get you to vote for whatever the other party you guys in the US have. It’s me trying to tell you that if a man like the current president is taking away people’s freedom if they haven’t broken any laws, it won’t be long until he tries to do the same to you.

Even immigrants in America are supposed to be granted basic rights ensured by American law. This president did not care that his actions and the actions of his agencies was illegal. It is still being handled in courts in lawsuits against the government for doing this. Only two of these men have managed to return to the USA for a court case. It is shameful!

    The Irukandji jellyfish, found in Australian waters, is among the smallest yet most dangerous marine animals. Though barely visible, its sting leads to Irukandji syndrome—characterized by severe pain, vomiting, hypertension, and even brain hemorrhaging. Symptoms can be delayed by up to an hour, making it especially dangerous for unsuspecting swimmers. Many victims underestimate the severity of the sting until it escalates. Prevention is the only real safeguard against this invisible threat.

    The blue-ringed octopus is a vivid yet deadly marine species found in tide pools and reefs. Despite measuring only 8 inches, its venom contains tetrodotoxin: a neurotoxin with no known antidote. The octopus flashes its blue rings when threatened, acting as a visual warning. Its bite may seem painless initially, but symptoms can escalate to paralysis or death. Being aware of this species’ presence in coastal waters is essential for public safety.

    Catfish are commonly seen as benign bottom-dwellers, but many species are venomous. Some, like the striped eel catfish, are capable of delivering venom through their fin spines, causing excruciating pain or even death.

    14 Year Old Max Devries Has Been Missing Since 2004

    Smiling young person with glasses wearing red shirt, posing outdoors with blurred fall foliage background in disturbing photos series.

    Max DeVries went missing on a family vacation to Aruba in May 2004. Officials declared that Max was "lost at sea," but his family believes there was foul play. The family befriended 2 older males during the trip. One of the males took Max out on a jet ski ride the day before Max’s disappearance. The following day the other (older) man pleaded with Max’s mother to let him go again and even offered to pay. The mom was suspicious but after Max convinced her to let him go, she allowed it. The man returned without Max claiming he was still out in the water somewhere. He had visible scratches on his hands and neck that he claimed was from getting on the jet ski. Neither of the men were charged in Max’s disappearance. The FBI does have Max’s case and have marked it as foul play. Unfortunately Max’s case is still unsolved and we need your help to spread awareness for his case so the FBI will thoroughly investigate and bring justice for Max and his family. The second screenshot is one of the men who was last seen with max.

But seriously what parent lets their teen son go alone with two strangers in a foreign country? That's asking for exactly what happened here. Mom should have gone with him or stuck with no. RIP Max. Whatever happened I hope you were unaware of it.

    This is what scares me about living in apartments. Basically hoping and depending on your neighbours to be responsible, but knowing there's some idiots around.

    Still Trying To Figure Out What The Heck Is This

    Disturbing photo of a dirty handprint on a car door near the wheel, captured in low light with a bright glare.

    Back in early 2020, I parked my car at irqah square to grab some food (24.6866944, 46.5825000), and when I returned, I noticed this strange handprint on the side of my car. At first, I thought it was just dust, but when I looked closely, it seemed eerie—almost like a skeleton hand or claws.

    I posted about this back then but didn’t get any clear answers. I recently found the photo again and decided to share it here. Has anyone seen anything like this or have any ideas about what could’ve caused it?

    Used to live in Poplar Bluff (#3). My senior year of hs there were multiple tornado reports. But we didn't see any and the sirens didn't go off. Mom and I let my older brother, who worked nights, sleep through it. (We weren't disturbing him for just funnel clouds.) Turns out only north side of town was hit. You get used to it.
