Prepare to be disturbed.

While I firmly believe knowledge is power and that it's better to have more information than you need rather than needing information and not having it, sometimes ignorance definitely can be bliss.

There are things that, once you learn, you cannot unlearn. Things that go and hide in the little crevices of your head and come out to play and haunt you on those sleepless nights when thoughts begin to wander.

If I have to know them, you do too. And if you're a real glutton for punishment, here are even more disturbing facts for you.

1
Before you die, your last words could be, "I don't feel so good." I was a paramedic for 15 years and heard dozens of people's final words. The phrase I heard most often, possibly from half to three quarters of them, were some form of "I don't feel so good." I've also heard, "Wait, somethings wrong." "Somethings happening." "I don't feel right." "Wait, somethings wrong." "It's happening." "Oh no, Oh no." People feel the blood leaving their brain I think. Must be like a rush.

2
Your lips are made of the same skin type and texture as your anus.

In Formula 1, safety belts were not mandatory until 1972. Before then, drivers believed it better to be ejected in a crash, and either die instantly from a broken neck or suffer many broken bones. The alternative, they thought, was to be trapped and essentially cremated alive should the gas tanks ignite.
4
On Mt. Everest, you have the rainbow valley, the last zone to climb to reach the peak. Which sounds cute but it's really the colorful jackets of dead climbers who are frozen in time against the white harsh snow. Also, when close to the peak, the oxygen levels are so low that the body is starting to die. You only have a few minutes to reach the top.

5
A professor at my lecture today said that deer will lay on decaying corpses because they produce heat and the deer like that. Basically deer treat corpses as their personal sauna.

There’s something called “Anaesthesia Awareness” where of certain people go into surgery and they don’t give you enough Anaesthesia, it will look like you’re asleep (eyes closed, not talking or moving), but the patient can still hear and feel everything that’s happening, but here’s the scary part. You’re unable to move, speak or open your eyes. Unless they have a monitor to show your brain activity, you’re stuck with having to endure the pain.

11
The dolphin which most often portrayed Flipper on the 1960s television show Flipper committed suicide.

14
The song “Baby Shark” is actually the perfect rhythm to guide infant CPR.
15
if you eat 52 apples seeds you’ll die also, you can take a package of cigarettes, dump the tobacco out, and heat it up and strain it so that only a white substance is left. About a teaspoon of that in somebodies coffee is unnoticeable, and it’ll kill them. Death by nicotine
16
When whales reach a certain age they will eventually be to weak to swim back to the surface for air. So they will just suffocate to death and eventually sink to the bottom of the ocean. But at least when they sink to the bottom of the ocean their bodies will create sprawling ecosystems that will last for a good few years.:)

Judith Barsi was the young actress who voiced Anne-Marie in All Dogs Go to Heaven and Ducky in The Land Before Time. She was murdered at the age of 10 by her abusive father, who also killed her mother at the same time. Judith's gravestone displays Ducky's catchphrase, "Yep! Yep! Yep!"

24
It is way easier than you would expect to break someone ribs during CPR and it feels really weird. POPPOPPOPPOP like bubble wrap.
25
On airplanes they turn off the lights before takeoff and landing basically in anticipation of the plane crashing. Your eyes take time to adjust to the dark, so if the plane were to crash your eyes would be pre-adjusted, thus increasing your likelihood of being able to make it out. They also ask that window blinds be opened in order to allow anyone outside to be able to see in in order to check for survivors.
