Fun fact human males can get boners postmortem

That's the perfect one to start off with

In toddlers, their adult teeth are right under their eyes

@berlioz

It's probably my best one, all the other ones I'll have to go digging for deep in my memories

Yeah, actually, because the body/blood vessels swell up, and the body bloats (the fat and muscle reacting), and since the pee pee is mostly muscle, it can also swell.

I’m gonna be that weirdo that just adds explanations that makes them worse.

Hey look you're here.

I'm scrolling through my knowledge of murder facts but I'm not sure any of them qualify as "disturbing" and I've shared most of them several times anyways

There's no scientific explanation for why anesthetics work.

The average number of skeletons in a human body is more than one.

Rabbits eat their own young if they get stressed enough.

Moths will vibrate their genitals as a way to prevent a bat from locating them.

Most rodents, mostly rabbits and hamsters, eat their young anyway, nevertheless of the situation. It mostly happens in winter to the smallest runt of the liter. If a rabbit or hamster has a miscarriage or a baby comes out dead, they will eat it right after birth. Actually, a lot of cuter animals do this.

The Human brain is so creative and so capable of creating an infinite number of thoughts, more thoughts and ideas than atoms in the universe, yet it is as soft as warm butter and one of the easiest organs in the human body to kill.

The closest thing I have for now is if you drop blood straight down, the drop makes a perfect circle

@berlioz

There's no scientific explanation for why anesthetics work.

There's also something called anesthesia awareness, where the body is "put under", but the mind is still very active and can percieve pain.
Basically, imagine going in for surgery, you feel the surgeons cut into you and do their thing, no pain relief, and there's nothing you can do about it. Like sleep paralysis but for real. Patients can develop PTSD from this. It's very very rare.
And that, folks, is why I have a phobia of anesthesia!

Oh, I've heard about that

Oh, also, scientists predict that for every human on earth, there are about a million ants!

Thank you

What's really great though, is feeling stuff without feeling pain. I had that when I got stitches. Kind of cool.

So cool…

Dang it! How do you make that sound genuine!

Well now I wanna try it for myself
Next time I sew and I accidentally stab myself with a needle, I gotta try it

Like with a local anesthetic?

Great!
I have a new phobia!
Here's hoping I never have to have fucking surgery again!

There's also a bunch of videos for reference for blood spatter analysts on YouTube, where it's just what blood smears look like under different conditions. So I hear. I haven't actually seen any of them

Uffff you know the phobia of that type of thing happening is irrational, right?

I mean, the chances of you waking up during anesthetic treatment is literally next to none. It’s a very small percentile of people, who usually have underlying health issues. It’s also why most surgeries, even minor ones like wisdom teeth getting removed, have a certified anesthesiologist. If you wake up and document it to your doctors, that anesthesiologist can (and probably will) get fired and their certification taken away, for they committed a malpractice.

Not exactly disturbing, but more or less disappointed.

Isn't the whole point of phobias that they're irrational?
