Flies don't have teeth. So, when they land on your sandwich and want to eat some, they barf up the contents of their stomach (often containing another animal's shit) so the digestive enzymes can get on the food and then they eat.

There are 32 missing nuclear weapons. And those are only the ones that we know of.

There are guys with a fetish to cut off their penises. There’s even a subreddit dedicated to it. I found out about it a few months ago and it still haunts me.

In my country some women rent babies to beg money with in the streets. They make them drink a pill that would make them sleep.

Anything can happen to anyone at any moment. I had my first seizure at 18. No family member has had epilepsy before. Never take anything for granted. It can all change in an instant.

Because of pregnant women, the average number of skeletons inside a human body is greater than one.

Often, burnt bodies are found in the same stance, known as the “Boxer Pose” due to muscles contracting from heat. It’s an incredibly disturbing looking thing, I first heard about it from my Grandfather that fought in Burma. During the war he was present at a Burmese funeral in which the cadaver was burnt on a pyre. Just as the flames began to singe the corpse, it sat up straight. The Burmese, of course, got a good laugh out of the British soldiers collectively shitting themselves, as contractions due to heat during cremation is apparently rather common. Doesn’t make it any less creepy.

most modern knowledge on what happens when you go through hypothermia is almost entirely down the Nazi and Japanese human experiments.

Cyanide poisoning is an incredibly painful way to die. Cyanide was what Jonestown consumed for mass suicide. Parents were instructed to give it to their children and convinced the crying was just fear. Edit: For those asking about how cyanide works. If memory serves from when I first read this and listened to the audio recordings, it feels like a massive, massive heart attack. It may not have taken too much time, but any time greater than "instant"is too long to suffer before death.

During World War 2, Japan bombed China with fleas infected with the bubonic plague.

The horrendous practice of having a “dancing boy” AKA child sex slave in some regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. When families are poor they will sell their child to be a “dancing boy”. The children are frequently killed if they resist. It’s a rough watch but the documentary The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan covers this awful practice pretty well.

Pelicans are some of the most demonic birds in existence, if not some of the most demonic creatures. Pelicans will go into other birds nests, shove the parents out of the nest. They will then swallow babies whole, fly back to their own nests, and regurgitate the still half alive, partially digested babies, to their own babies for them to consume. Some pelicans are literally raised on the partially digested, living flesh of other baby birds.

Chris Farleys last words were don't leave me. He said it to the prostitute he was with who then stole his watch and took a picture of him dead/dying.

1/3 of all people who break their hip die within the year.... So please tape pillows to your elderly relatives.

One of Mayhem’s band members committed suicide. When he was found by his bandmate, pictures were taken and it became the new album cover. The photographer was subsequently murdered by Varg Vikernes who masterminded church burnings.

That it takes three generations for you to be completely forgotten. Think about how you viewed your great grandparents. Sure you probably loved them but for most people their great grandparents die and are forgotten as you live your life. One day that will be all of us. Disappearing into the void, none to remember who we were, what our life was like or what we believed in.

You can not prove that anyone else is real. The only thing you know for sure is you are conscious.

That there are parents out there that willfully sell their children into sex-slavery or force them into prostitution. - TerminalSire

I forget what it's called but sometimes the artery that runs right next to your esophagus, over years of recurrent acid reflux can rupture. It fills your stomach with blood in seconds which causes you to vomit, which causes more damage. It fills you up with blood so fast that it eventually fills your lungs. This takes maybe a minute or two and is almost always fatal unless it happens to occur while you're in a hospitalYour last few minutes alive are spent vomiting pints of blood and then drowning in it.

Anesthesia awareness is a thing. Given the effects of anesthetics preventing the formation of new memories, it's possible it always happens and we just don't remember it afterwards.

By the time you show the symptoms of rabies, it's already too late. (It can also be dormant for a year before you show those symptoms.)

The Nutty Putty Cave accident. Google for full disturbing details / a map of the cave, but basically a guy got stuck caving in a very narrow unmapped tunnel, UPSIDE-DOWN. They could not get him out, but almost did, one of the rescuers made eye contact with him apparently but then their pulley system broke and he fell further down. Unfortunately he ended up dying of cardiac arrest from being upside-down for so long and they couldn’t get him out / never retrieved the body because it was too dangerous for rescuers. Truly so disturbing, I’ve thought about it probably once a week since I found out about it a few months ago. Edit: even more disturbing now that someone gave this a wholesome award.

If an elephants mate dies then they can die from broken heart syndrome.

Hotels rarely clean their ice machines.

Llama spit is actually projectile vomit.
