Old human bones are very porous so if you lick them, they’ll stick to your tongue.

When you give birth, your body produces hormones and your brain forgets a lot of the trauma you experience so that you’ll be willing to have more children in the future. So whenever you look back on childbirth, your memory of it will likely be way less awful than it actually was.

The most peaceful way to die is in your sleep, but you’ll go to sleep not knowing you’ll never see anything ever again.

I was at a bbq yesterday and my uncle told me “think about it one day you went outside to play with your friends for the last time and didn’t even know it”.

There are hundreds if not thousands of versions of you in the minds of other people. Depending on how many people you have met in your life.

Death isn't the worst thing that can happen to you.

You’re statistically more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than you are in a plane crash.

You’ve never actually seen your face. Only pictures or reflections.

Your really really sick, you have no energy, no appetite, and just the will to do nothing at all. Let’s say this is your grandpa in this situation. All the sudden grandpa calls you and says he wants to eat so much that it hurts and he wants to go do some fun projects, this sudden burst of energy kinda thing. Well you drive to the hospital to find that your grandpa has just died minutes after he called you. The nurse will then explain to you that this is very common when people are dying to just have a sudden burst of energy.

The average age of empires is 250 years.

One day you'll never feel pain again.

There will be a point in time where humans go extinct. We won't experience it but imagine our future generations will see the “end of the world”.

Either alien life exists, or we are totally alone in the universe.

Most people don't die of old age.

That there is enough food and water to feed everyone on the planet for free. But a small group of world owners governs it, plays monetary games, and uses it to control the masses.

Hippos and coconuts kill more people than sharks each year.

Even if 99% of the population finds you unattractive, around 78 million people still find you attractive. Idk this just really creeps me out.

The idea that who we are is not who we used to be, nor who we will be. Both literally and figuratively, considering our cells are constantly dying and recycling so every 7ish years you have a "new" body and because our minds are ever expanding and learning new things. Another one is the fact that who you are is not who others perceive you to be, since no one can ever truly know who you are and how you think, to the point that if you ever lost your memories, no one would be able to describe you fully to you.

If you don’t have children you end a several hundred year long bloodline.

When you're sick, you're supposed to do drugs and stay out of school.

You might be just like your parents when you have kids.

My husband has worked in elderly care for over 10 years. He can attest that even without dementia, older people tend to loose their ability to taste. It’s like weakening eye sight but with flavor. He’s always getting complaints that the food is too bland but it’s so full of salt substitute it’s almost inedible to everyone else.

While we're losing a lot of forests in the tropics due to climate change, we're actually gaining a lot of forest in the northern latitudes, and into formerly grassland areas as more available CO2 allows them to grow in more arid regions. And everyone loves trees, right? The problem is the climate crisis is also a biodiversity crisis, and habitat loss - like grasslands or tundra becoming forest - is arguably even harder on species than changes in weather patterns.

You walk by at least 10 murderers in your life time without even knowing it.

"This too shall pass"

when you get skinned, you (most likely) won’t die of blood loss, but instead hypothermia or infection as they will get you first.

"You did your best."

Everyday we get closer to death, some faster than others. Not sure if that’s creepy or if it makes me feel better.

You never truly know what anyone really thinks about you

This will be the coldest summer of the rest of your life.

TV shows and movies go out of their way to make military/intelligence officers look bad a*s. Real life “spies”, by design and training, are boring. Regular house, standard 2nd hand cars, dress down, have vague boring”-job titles (accounts receivable) as cover and do not draw attention to themselves. Most come from specialized academia.

People think about you far less than you actually believe they do.

Everyone here with the creepy crime stuff and I'm just "A soft-furred rat has 22 nipples".

When a drowning victim is revived, get them to a hospital as soon as possible. Drowning is the leading cause of death of kids from the age of 1 to 7 and is ruled as accidental drowning when it comes to secondary drowning or dry drowning. Basically your lungs are full of water despite being revived. Your lungs will absorb the liquid, but not before your body acidifies from high levels of carbon dioxide. The only chance to survive is to have the lungs pumped with oxygen via cpap machine and time. Also drowning is extremely quiet. You don’t hear the victim go under. And if you see flailing, do not attempt to save the victim otherwise you’ll become another drowning victim. Throw them a life line and hope their amygdala realizes that there’s a rope or something floating near them and grabs on it.

A severed human head has a strange uneven weight distribution. So you better hold it tight or you will be known as the guy that dropped the head.

If you ever trying to survive in the arctic, don’t eat polar bear liver. It is so high in vitamin A it will kill you.

Killing someone by smothering them is not a foolproof way to commit murder, as smothering-caused asphyxiation damages a specific capillary in the eye. The pathologist will check the eye and immediately pronounce the corpse a murder victim, and there are many, many people in jail around the world that did not know this prior to their conviction.

Rare af, but sometimes 2 ova are released during ovulation. If you have multiple partners and either very poor (or very good. No judgment) timing, the resulting twins could have different fathers. It's called heteropaternal superfecundation.

The German guy who sought to meet men on the internet so he could cut of their genitals, with their permission, and fry them up and eat them. When asked by the judge why he rejected other ‘applicants’, he replied: There was a guy from Italy who wanted to be electrocuted first. I thought he was a bit weird.

Hershey’s chocolate has the strong smell of vomit or feces to some people (me), and that’s because they use butyric acid as a preservative. Butyric acid is the compound that makes vomit smell so bad.

A pigeon will only eat a Starburst if you chew it up a little bit first. Just to clarify chew the Starburst not the pigeon.

Beginning in 1911 in anticipation of the outbreak of WW1 in 1914, two statesmen, one from England and one from France, began visiting locations in France that they believed would be the settings for a number of major battles that would occur during the great war. Long bike rides through these future battle zones in the countryside and weeks spent building a foundation for a French-Anglo codebook that would later prove important in helping win the war.

Earthworms, specifically nightcrawlers are way crunchier than you think.

You have quite a lot of time, certainly more than ten seconds, to turn back on the main pumps of a nuclear reactor once you have accidentally turned them off.
