“Years ago I remember watching an episode of the show Monsters Inside Me where this 16-year-old kid was doing something outside and a fly flew into his eye. It only made contact for about a microsecond, but it was enough time for it to lay eggs. After they hatched they started eating his eye from the inside and he was starting to go blind until a doctor finally figured out what was wrong.”

In extreme cases of scurvy, your scars break down and old wounds re-open.

Most serial killers won’t ever even be noticed, never mind captured….

When you blush, so does your stomach lining.

With the permafrost and tundra thawing out, bacteria and other microorganisms that we know nothing about are becoming active again.

Cats know when they are going to die, they go and find a small secluded place and pass away.

Though unlikely, it is entirely possible that the universe has already collapsed and the end of reality as we know it is propagating towards us at the speed of light. We’ll never get any warning that it’s coming and it could hit us at any time, annihilating the entire planet in less than a tenth of a second.

All whales eventually lose the energy to surface for oxygen, so they basically just sink and drown.

In explosions, it’s not (always) flying shrapnel, it’s not the fire that kills you. No, it’s the pressure wave that liquifies your insides.

The Chernobyl disaster, everything that happened and all of the devastation, was the result of only 5% of the nuclear material in the reactor being explosively ejected.

Over 46% of ocean waste is fishing nets. And commercial fishing kills more animals in the ocean than any plastic does.

Paradoxical undressing. it happens during the last stages of hypothermia. as your nerves are damaged, the person removes all of their clothing in freezing temperatures because they feel irrationally hot.

If you fall from a high enough point and hit water, your insides are liquefied on impact.

There will be a last person, a last living organism, to see the end of all life in the universe. The rest of time will never be experienced, and will just… happen.
