Ignorance Is Bliss: 50 People Share The Most Bizarre Facts They Now Regret Learning
We all live in the same world, on the same planet, yet there are so many things some of us don't know or don't think about on a daily basis. We here at Bored Panda love to teach you new things in the form of interesting facts. But what about a dose of some disturbing facts?
In a recent thread, people shared the unsettling facts that prove that knowledge isn't always power. Sometimes, it's a burden. So, when one netizen asked, "What's the most disturbing fact you wish you didn't know?", folks named surprisingly many phenomena.
Scroll down to see the most interesting ones and tell us in the comments which ones you wish you could scrub from your memory.

Slavery was legal
Colonialism was legal
Jim Crow was legal
Apartheid was legal
Legality is a matter of power, not justice
Human rights are never given by those in power. They are fought for by the oppressed.

Almost all politicians regardless of party are funded by the same few hundred/ thousand sociopaths at the very top, and we are slowly losing our rights and freedoms in plain sight and we are are sleep walking into a dystopian nightmare.

Can't say that everyone at the top is a sociopath, and some make very wonderful contributions to society (Gates, Bloomberg, et.al.) but yeah, on both sides ridiculous money is being thrown at elections in order not just to fund, but to influence. It is dystopian.

S*x abuse in the church is 10X worse then they are letting on.
In my parish there was one priest that was convicted and they are saying the number of boys he molested could be as high as 1000. What is generally not known well talked about is there were 6 others were accused and settled out of court.
Now the really smart pedophiles are selective on their victim. And the victim suffers in silence.
In non-catholic churches I have gone to it is common to hear of a father that is molesting their daughters.
I have met many victims and even with therapy it still puts zing in their brain.
I have come to the point in my life that I want nothing to do with any church. .

How two ten-year-olds abducted and then tortured a two-year-old boy in the UK. My youngest was two at the time and I developed this fear of losing him in a store, worse than the usual kind. I also included children in my stranger danger talks with my children; don’t go with people you don’t know, not even kids.

This is why the rac/sts and terfs who point at non-white immigrants (white immigrants like me are fine to them) and trans people are in reality just protecting rap/sts. And in case of the rac/sts you can well imagine why they don't have a problem with one of their own rap/ing women.

The number one cause of death for pregnant women in the USA (possibly worldwide?) is m***er by the father of the baby.
That fact should be on billboards outside every school, hospital, and stadium in the country. Then, perhaps, men would finally start looking at each other and saying, “What the f**k, man? Cut it the f**k out.”
Probably not, though. They’ll probably still be busy trying to figure out why smart women choose the bear.

Not worldwide. Thrombosis and thromboembolism was the leading cause of maternal death in the UK in 2021-23 during or up to six weeks after the end of pregnancy. Cardiac disease was the second most common cause of maternal death followed by COVID-19. The USA is a violent society.

We live within a few miles of gas, atop floating rocks, being dragged by a star through the great and unforgiving vacuum of space, quite literally a stone's throw away from complete and total annihilation.
And people want to deny others healthcare for no other reason than struggling to pay scamming private health insurance. They're already pooling money for it; that's the thing that gets me, _they're already pooling money for it,_ and could be paying net less for access to anything they need, but are so petty they're willing to pay more for less coverage, just so Random Joe Citizen doesn't get healthcare at all. People making themselves sick, just to make others sick. How sad and small is that?

That 1/5 men have admitted to a desire for engaging in p********a if it weren't a crime, but researchers believe the true statistic is more like 1/3. Which is sad because the statistics of girls who have experienced SA is believed to be 1/4 - researchers believe it's actually 1/2 and for boys, the stat is 1/5, believed to be 1/3...and that s**t infuriates the f**k out of me.
What the f**k is wrong with people? Does anyone care that research, even centuries old, states that this type of treatment to children actually causes irreparable psychological harm? The sexualization of children should be considered a crime above murder, IMO, and result in the death penalty within a swift timeline. IDGAF about saving someone - man or woman- whose brain tells them that it's okay to harm children in such an egregious way, even statistics prove they can NEVER be "rehabilitated" and have one of the highest recidivism rates among all types of criminals.

You can develop schizophrenia very late in age. I’m not talking BPSD, Lewy body dementia, or delirium. I mean you can have a full blown psychotic episode that develops into schizophrenia for no apparent reason at any age. It’s rare after age 40 but not impossible. There’s a whole specialty field in psychiatry (psychogeriatrics) that see this regularly. I’ve seen many patients who had very late onset schizophrenia (and late onset bipolar too) in their 80s and 90s. Not cognitively impaired, not delirious, no Lewy body disease, no head trauma, no psychoactive d**g use.
Mel in Georgia 3 months ago
My MiL had a psychotic episode after 2 successive cancer treatments that required anesthesia within 2 weeks. It was one of the scariest events I've ever experienced. Emergency services brushed it off (she lied about what was going on but took her to the hospital because she wouldn't tell them her name) and the hospital said it was her d**g use (she lied about having alcohol and weed) and it wasn't until we talked to a geriatric psychologist that we understood what happened. Can't say she developed schizophrenia, but elder care needs to be very specialized - they are not typical patients.

Companies have data profiles on you. They collect intimate data.
They know what you eat and when.
They know what time you go to work, the route you take home.
They know what you like to watch.
They know your heart rate, your blood pressure, how fast you walk, how far, and where.
They know your favorite shows. They know how you like your coffee and your toast and what temperature you like your home to be.
They know when you're most likely to run your dishwasher, and how often you fill it for a full wash or run a quick rinse.
They know who your friends are. They know who your family is. They know if you prefer texting over calling. They know when you visit these people, and when and where. They know your shared interests.
None of this is isolated information. This is all contained in a profile that is essentially a digital copy of you. That digital copy is highly valuable currency they use to sell to advertisers. Currency that you agree to giving them through devices you paid a lot of money for (how many hours of work would that have cost you? How many days or months?)
And they use this to influence you like to spend your money in a way you believe to be spontaneous.
This sounds like a conspiracy. But it's a very real industry with carefully engineered processes. And it's happening all the time.
Devices are always "phoning home" which is a real term.
I wish I didn't know because no one cares about corporate surveillance. Everyone only cares about TikTok and Temu and no one gives a d**n about the fact that this technology moves so rapidly that laws have fallen so far behind.
**ETA**: Many people missing the point, so let me clarify that being "boring" doesn't exempt you from manipulation and influence. Actually, a lack of variables in your life makes you easier to predict. What you do and what you don't do are all patterned, trackable data. This is an issue stemming from control. Think about how often you interact with an algorithm. The videos you watch, the articles you click, the images that are presented to you, etc. – if you do not have a strong variety in your reading material, if you do not travel or have new experiences, or if you are not working towards developing new skills or strengthening current ones, then your thought patterns **will** narrow down in a way that will make it easier for someone else to puppet you. Your passive consumption of *the algorithms you are locked into* is perfectly paired with a lack of resistance to its suggestions.
Being sheltered and connected makes you easier to exploit, which could (for example) prevent friction to things like political radicalization.

That cheating has a lot less to do with being unhappy in a relationship than people think. It comes down to Proximity and Opportunity from multiple studies. Many people reported being happy in their relationship, and loving their partner, and they had an opportunity and took it.
We try and act civilized and advanced but we really are primitive f**k monkeys.
There are a LOT of people out there that think they wouldn’t cheat, and don’t actively make effort to do so, or put themselves in situations, but if it arose they would find themselves surprised.
The biological imperative to reproduce, mutual sexual attraction and chemistry, and extremely powerful things.
It creates the paradox of trust. People who genuinely trust their partner fully get cheated on all the time and never know it. You can never know, and the data shows there’s a decent chance if the opportunity and proximity arises. But by asking your partner or having conversations for assurance can come across as mistrusting and offensive.
I never understood why some get so offended when questioned, which is different from accusing. I think there is a correlation between how upset someone gets and the likelihood they are guilty.

Hm, interesting question. I know a lot of very disturbing facts, but I don't wish to not know them. Alright, here's one or two:
* The cruel ways animals are tortured and mutilated in the animal produce industry. I wish I did not know that. Well.. I don't know. I think it better to know things.
* I once saw a documentary about a coyote kicked out of her pack. To have pups she would waylay stray pack males, but her puppies were born out of sync, and so the pack puppies were bigger and would torment them.. biting them to hear them squeak, and eventually bully them to death. That image has never left me. I kinda wish I could unsee that.

My half brother who is now deceased admitted to me that he deliberately overdosed his mother with medication she was given by hospice to hasten her death.
He also suggested that I do the same to our father in his last days.
(I didn't.)
He was also was sexually inappropriate with me twice, once as a child.
There's other stuff that he did over the years that wasn't very nice but these two things are heavy on my conscience. I don't even talk to the rest of my half siblings and telling them would not be great because it would start WWIII probably.
He's dead. There's no point but they have NO idea of who that man was or what he was capable of and it's been a very hard secret to keep.
I'm sure they all think the worst of me and think that I disliked him for no good reason. But they have NO idea.
Ron Man 3 months ago
Everything else in that aside; mercy killing in hospice patients is common. No idea how other countries work, but in the US when you're put in hospice you're looking at an end of life scenario coming quickly and the patients are supplied with more than enough morphine or other opiates to ensure they have a painless exit. Unfortunately, that also makes them have no quality of life as they're always drugged out. Many patients OD on on purpose. Many family members give them too much on accident. And then some family can't bare to see their loved ones in pain with no quality of life and see it as doing them a mercy, because why not today instead of another 2 weeks of constant pain? Reality is tough sometimes.

There was a YouTube video I once watched by, I think, EWU bodycam, and there was a story about this guy who was in prison with another guy. They were both in prison but one thought what the other guy did to a woman was so dark that it was too much for him. Apparently the guy put a screwdriver in a woman’s mouth and suffocate her and then she would lose oxygen. He would repeatedly give her mouth to mouth. He was trying to essentially k**l her then keep her alive and the way the guy told the story, he was so proud of it. Even the other inmates with him would take turns sleeping because this guy was so sick in the head.

Yea, especially the (current) no 1. Regretting to learn that... slavery existed? Sure, not a nice fact, but I'd rather know what bad things DID happen rather than go through life blind to all evil (especially from history, for you can't learn from mistakes you ignore that you made).

Had leukemia. The type I had can develop in a matter of days and if you don't get treatment you have a few weeks to live.

If I learned anything, it's that as a male, I am the scum of the universe and a threat to every living thing on earth. It's on BP. Must be true.

Again! Someone makes a joke, gets downvoted - why? Downvotes on BP exist to get comments hidden and surely we need a bit of humour these days? 🥺

Once there was a magician who worked on board a cruise liner. But the ship also had a parrot, who would watch him at it and ruin everything. If the magician slipped something into his sleeve the parrot would scream "UP HIS SLEEVE!" and if he hid something in his pocket the parrot would yell "DOWN HIS TROUSERS!" Then one night the ship sank. The magician managed to get on board a stray life raft... and oh no, there's the parrot. The parrot stared at him for a long time and finally said "All right, I give up. What have you done with the ship?"
