Someone Asked “What Is A Fun Fact That Is Mildly Disturbing?” And 35 People Delivered

Noooo! Poor dogos!

Acidentally downvoted while pressing reply. And yes, I agree :’(

MOST human beings . . . . .

Yea they have more than me (not a flex/brag I wish I did have more empathy)

That's BS. Most people have empathy. People who don't have empathy are suffering from some form of disorder.

Yes - they'd hide in the rubble so the doggos could rescue some live victims. Sniff.

Yes indeed!

… but there’s some asshats that say “the Holocaust never happen”. I feel sorry for their souls…

Yep, 6 million Jewish people and 5 million non-Jewish civilians killed by the Nazis.

never are the thousands of Russians killed are talked about, my father was in a Hong Kong prison camp for years starving to death, not talked about either

Where does this number [6mil] come from? Do you have any source?

I went to Mauthausen in May. It's so sad that in such a beautiful town with breathtaking views and in such a beautiful country, the horrors we know and will never know had taken place there. I had planned for my visit there to be the only thing I did that day, and I'm glad I did. As Simon Wiesenthal, a Mauthausen survivor and famed Nazi hunter said, "Hope lives when people remember." I'm sorry for her ever having to endure seeing these horrors, not all victims of this atrocious act were on the same side of the barbed wire.

I got bored one night a month or so ago and was Google Mapping around my relatively small town and I went down the street to the house my aunt and uncle lived in until 3 years ago... and it still had a photo of my uncle either putting up or taking down their Christmas lawn decorations lol

Ha ha, yes! In Google street view I'm still driving a van I last owned in 2017 and a monstrous clump of daylilies still threatens to take over the back yard.

It would be great to Google map an area as it was 50-100 years ago!

😆😆😆😆

No, but they did have a plan to just open the airlock. This explains their reasoning: https://www.quora.com/Did-Neil-Armstrong-and-Buzz-Aldrin-have-a-plan-or-supplies-to-end-their-own-lives-in-case-they-got-stranded-in-the-Moon?top_ans=156194446

Often, cyanide pills aren't given in high enough doses, which causes prolonged death (minutes). Most doses stop at the "death" range, rather than going at least 50% over it to fully shock the system, which is recommended. Hydrogen cyanide (gas) is fast too (seconds) but should also be increased. Cyanide in bigger doses kills the brain almost immediately. Slow vacuum just "puts you to sleep" while you're still slowly succumbing to the lack of oxygen, especially if, in panic which humans do, you inhale deep and hold your breath before popping your helmet seal. I'd prefer a HEAVY dose, fast, rather than letting my instincts try and sustain me. But, different strokes for different folks. I might feel different if I was in the situation.

No need. Their plan was better than cyanide. I never tried either (obviously) but slow vacuum exposure sounds a lot better.

I just read once that they did have suicide plan, but not the specifics of it

Would not be difficult to believe. Look at Leika and Vladimir Komarov

In all honesty, if I was head of a nation sending people on a dangerous mission, I wouldn't broadcast it live. I'd record it then play it as if live a few hours later. Look at how traumatic the Challenger disaster was for the nation and the world.

Seems plausible. While NASA was required to publicly disclose mission information, the Soviet Union kept all activities secret and only announced successful missions. That was a major factor in early perceptions that they were a more successful organization. They had rockets explode on the launchpad, killing the ground crew, which remained secret until years later. It's not a stretch to think they'd keep a mission tragedy like that under wraps.

I personally don't believe the recordings are real. However, I'm not going to put anyone down for believing otherwise. Some of the reasons why I believe that: 1. The pilots didn't use the communication protocols when identifying themselves or using the terminology for the technical stuffs. 2. The transcript was littered with many nonsensical grammatical errors. 3. The USSR didn't really have the technology for out of orbit flight until 1974, a full 14 years later. (For me this one is kinda wishy washy, since the USSR was very secretive regarding their R&D). Also, 4. If this was real, the US also had to have been listening, and would have not given the USSR any relief about failed space missions. Remember, this was the cold war, the biggest pissing match so far. It was tit for tat!
