50 Spooky Facts About Our World That Are Hard To Digest

No-one ever votes for this; this is what happens when governments can restrict the flow of information... and yes, it has always been restricted via claims of "misinformation" or "fake news."

In the vast majority of cases it is men who torture, degrade and abuse other people. Don't obfuscate that fact by saying "humans". It is almost always men.

Some humans suck, but there are many others, present and past, on the opposite side of the spectrum who have lived truly altruistic lives, dedicating themselves to serving their fellow human without regard for race, gender, religion, politics or socioeconomic status. These are the ones I call humanity’s best. Some humans are truly, deeply evil, but humanity as a whole is the greatest and most powerful thing to happen to this world. I wholeheartedly believe in humanity.

Agree deeply

It sounds so much like 1984, but even worse . . . this is just horrifying.

but your a human

And there was also MK Ultra

But the actual details haven't been wrote? OP claimed torture, but didn't indicate how.

I've seen this.... nowadays. In gay/trans conversion camps (+others) --'re-educate' people to rid them of their previous beliefs --by killing the human spirit with 24/7 torture, degradation, brainwashing and humiliation --held until you totally broke --shock therapy --ràpes --drugged, restrained --deprived of water, movement........

At the condo complex we live in, the one kiddie corner to us has been empty the 10 years we have been here. The one behind us sells every couple of years, but hasn't been lived in for 5 years. The one in front of us is only occupied 3 months out of the year. We are surrounded by other houses, but have no neighbors.

This is well known, and yet, not a damn thing will be done about it.

I've been saying this for years. After the sub-prime mortgage scandal, some banks went right back to mortgages, but some started buying up actual real estate. They were trying to do to the housing market what diamond producers did with the diamonds: drive up the price by creating artificial demand. The problem is: nobody actually needs diamonds. People DO need housing. They're playing a giant game of musical chairs, trying to see how high they can make the price go, but it's unsustainable. The more they push, the harder the crash will be, but the banks don't care, since the government will just bail them out again.

Mathematically speaking, you are correct that there are more than enough homes in the USA to house everyone. According to LendingTree, roughly 25% of all vacant homes in the USA's 50 largest metropolitan areas are on the market for rent, nearly 20% are vacant because they are used only part-time, and another 8% are unoccupied because they are undergoing repair or renovation. The renters themselves contribute to the problem of homelessness by renting the next lower tier housing. Wealthy rent middle class, middle class rent upper lower class, upper lower class rent lower class, and lower class is forced out on the street with nowhere to go. State governments need to build low-income housing for the homeless instead of trying to convince vacant homeowners to take them in or putting elderly vets out on the street to make way for homeless families. Homelessness is the government's problem to solve.

I think it's a house of cards but unfortunately, after it collapses, they'll have bought enough of the government to get a free bail-out like the banks.

Same with Santa Cruz. I share a tiny, upstairs, 2BR apartment with my dad. It is $3,200 a month. The housing market is insaaane

I make six figures as a nurse. I was fortunate to find an affordable house to rent for my daughter's and I....everything in my area in Connecticut was twice as expensive. I'd love to buy a house but I can't save enough for a down payment for one...plus interest rates are outrageous. It sucks to work your ars off and have nothing to show for it. I don't know how people who make less do it.

I live in a rural area ( mostky conservative). The housing prices here are on par with Portland Oregon. They just built low income housing and a one bedroom apt is $1200 a month. Thats 40% of the average take home pay. Rent is crazy everywhere. And yes, the only explaination is the market is being manipulated.

Yes, but it beats expelling the worms alive, in my book.

Would you prefer to have them continuing to take up residence in your colon, stomach, lungs and brain?

Having had a few varieties of parasitic worms, I can tell you that pooping them out for three days was fine, as I felt so much better afterwards. People who live in 3rd world countries, (I did), are advised by doctors to take Bendazole every six months.

I find it very terrifying.

Better than walking up with the after taste in your mouth 😵‍💫

I couldn't think of the word ;0

Yes can confirm

i feel like i shouldn’t have laughed at that

Probably not. The behavior of playing with a pufferfish has been seen and recorded on camera at least once, but the explanation given in the BBC documentary that eveyone bases this 'fact' on is not based on any scientific evidence. It is unlikely that the dolphins are doing anything more than messing around with something interesting.

Every single animal tbh

That is Orcas, not dolphins, I believe. I don't think dolphins would be strong enough. The footage of the power and speed the Orcas use to ram into the sharks is ridiculous.

reacting to if they gets attacked by insects et cetera.
