Story 4: the baby fact is pretty disturbing and it's weird how doctors thought babies didn't feel pain and idk how they came up with that theroy in the first place

[@ironical-tofu6]

Probably because babies already cry a lot idk, i'm not a dumb-ass

[@h3sh916]

Probably a doctor that didn't like babies that much

[@gljames24]

Despite the fact that doctors should be prioritizing harm reduction, many doctors just go along with however a procedure is normally done without thinking about how it'll effect the patient. Thankfully this is getting better with, but this is still true with many older doctors and treatments and because of how the pharmaceutical industry works. If you want a modern example: the opiod crisis.

First Fact: I was bitten on the arm by a drunk chick at a Cradle of Filth Concert back in 2018. She was trying to force her way past me when I was up at the barricade and I refused to let her take my spot. She thought biting me was a good idea. She got hauled out by security. Tetanus shot, wound cleaning, and a month worth of heavy duty anti-biotics and a month worth of anti-retrovirals in case of HIV transmission. Out of pocket was over $1000.

[@GlaziolaNacht]

[@bradwolf07]

I'm happy to hear your ok, not so happy to hear the price. But I have to admit to misreading your comment at first. I thought you typed "duck chick" and was confused by the rest of the paragraph. I had to go back to figure out my mistake

I was an infant in the 80's and had a to have a few surgeries done. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if I went through some of them fully conscious. It would explain a few things. I don't honestly believe that doctors thought infants don't feel pain. Anyone who has vaccinated a baby knows damn well that they feel pain. The real belief was probably that anastasia is a complicated and risky procedure (especially on someone that is so small) and babies can't really complain and probably won't remember the experience afterwards so it doesn't really matter if they are in pain or not if the end result is them getting better and the risk of anastasia isn't worth it. Now that anesthetizing infants is more routine and the risk is low enough, the medical community finds it more palatable to say "we simply didn't know" vs "yeah, we are going to subject you baby to unimaginable suffering that we don't even subject animals or POWs to, because it's easier".

[@gopniksaurolophus6354]

POWs isn't a great example, since that's not how they're treated (nominally anyway); America got away with it in Iraq by calling the people they captured "terrorists", and since terrorists don't fall under the protections of any of the 3 Geneva Conventions, nothing was done about it.

[@zachcrawford5]

@@gopniksaurolophus6354 Good point. POWs are subjected to a wide spectrum of how they are treated. From valuable POWs in europe sometime being treated even better than many of the "host's" own citizens all the way down to the POWs of ww2 japan that were treated in ways that would make the SAW franchise queasy.

[@undecided3]

Wouldn't the pain alone kill some babies though?

[@zachcrawford5]

@@undecided3 Under normal circumstances it could. More precisely the distress from that much pain and fear can put the heart under enough stress that it could malfunction, leading to (hopefully just passing out but can also lead) to death. But they did give muscle relaxants that would have somewhat countered the effects of the adrenaline, shielding the heart (at least somewhat). Also, if the stress did kill the infant it would have just been written off as sudden cardiac failure due to an unknown congenital defect or the fragility of that particular infant.

I remember learning about story 4. I had multiple heart surgeries as a baby in the 80s and fortunatly the children's hospital I had them in did not agree with this belief and used anaesthetic. As a medical professional myself, my brain can't even comprehend how other medical professionals out there would believe this. Like you said, it's an easy theory to test.

[@abrahammesrajecorrea2349]

I mean, back in the day it was also super common to smoke inside hospitals and no one questioned it due to it being the norm and normal behavior at the time. I'd say it's less about "common sense" and more about "well, if everyone is doing it, it must be because it's normal". Who knows? Maybe we're currently doing something right now that seems totally ok but 50 years into the future will be seen as stupid and barbaric, with people being unable to understand how we were able to survive doing X thing.

[@darklightmagus1222]

Story 11: I'd say at age 18 is when you should no longer be able to track your child without consent. But be upfront of the tracker before then. My parents would always make me call them whenever I am about to or get to a new location so they know where I am in case they need to find me. I didn't have my own cell phone in highschool. I would usually go to church with a friend on Wednesdays. So I would have to call from my friend's phone to let them know when we were going to church, when we get to church, when we leave church to go to a restaurant, when we get to the restaurant, when we leave the restaurant to get back to friend's house, and then once again when we get to friend's house to get picked up from there. It's less about parents not wanting their children to go to certain places and more about them making sure the children are at a safe location and knowing where to find them in case anything comes up.

[@rollotomasislawyer3405]

Worked in the Texas Medical Center for 25 years. The St. Joesph story about the Resident doctor’s decapitation, is even worse than it sounds. The elevator was stuck with about 18 inches of opening at the top. The doctor opened the inner doors and was attempting to crawl out on to the floor. He got his head out, and and at that exact moment the elevator went down to the next floor, severing his neck. The headless body fell back into the elevator car with a lone woman passenger. She was stuck in the elevator for 45 minutes with the body before the maintenance staff got her out.

The lesson here is to never try to force your way out of an elevator if it's stuck.

It's nice to hear what she's doing with her life and that she's succeeding after such a traumatic incident.

To make you all feel better about the gamma ray bursts, the fact that a star could randomly go supernova and hit us dead on is really, *really* unlikely. Almost ridiculously so. As a result I would recommend worrying about things that are much more likely to happen lol EDIT: As someone pointed out in the replies, the reason for this is because space is actually very empty, and things are spaced rather far apart. As a result, it makes this very specific scenario highly unlikely. EDIT2: Plus we get hit by gamma rays all the time. The thing that's different about this scenario is that a star would have to go supernova close enough and also do it at the exact right angle to get a direct hit, and that combination would be incredibly difficult to achieve.

[@13vatra]

To clarify why it's so unlikely, people drastically underestimate how vast space actually is. Even with new gamma ray bursts daily the likelihood that one is aimed directly at our tiny little pocket of space is minuscule.

[@dmgroberts5471]

A small chance doesn't mean it won't happen, though. I mean, something that has a one-in-a-million chance of happening could just happen the third time the conditions are tested.

[@apinkchameleon]

@@dmgroberts5471 Obviously, of course. But the chances are so low that it basically isn't going to happen, so it makes more sense to worry about other things that could suddenly afflict us is the point.

[@tylerdurden8944]

We're already getting hit by approximately one gamma ray burst per day, but they originate so far away that our atmosphere and the magnetic field of the earth shields us.

[@aurorialgaming1935]

Very unlikely yes, but isnt earth just very lucky where its placed around the sun? Isnt humanity even existing a rare occurence? Lucky shots happen and with our luck lately I wouldn't put it past the universe lately. That being said this does make me feel better.

[@abrahammesrajecorrea2349]

​@@lucasmillerthelewderofloli9327you reminded me of me back in Elementary school where kids would ask me if I was a smoker since my uniform reeked of the smell of cigarattes. And I kid you not, for the longest time in my childhood and teenage years, my nose got so used to the smell of the Marlboro brand that I never knew what others meant when they said I smelled like cigarettes. At the time it was just me and my parents in this small house we still live on. My parents, trying to protect me from the smoke, told me to stay at my room while they smoked in the hallway (as if that actually helped). It was until my father passed away (not due to cigarattes, mind you) when I was 19, that the presence of cigaratte smoke declined so much that now I can actually detect the smell and be somewhat disgusted by it. Gotta say it's true that a smoker won't quit their addiction unless of other reasons beyond them. My dad in his last days smoked like a chimney until he was too weak to keep doing it. And thankfully I never developed the taste for it, I did try but I hated it right away which is good... or so I think. The good news is that at least I won't pick up a habit that may endenger someone else (not like I have someone else anyways). The bad news is I wouldn't be surprised if I died from lung cancer since my mom still smokes... but then again we do keep our distance and the smoke isn't that dense unlike back then when it was both of my parents.

As someone who grew up in Minnesota, I have to remind you Duluth, MN is the farthest inland port with a direct access to the ocean. When you also factor in the iron range and how many metals are mined out of northern MN it would actually be an ideal spot to bomb to shut down trade in the US.

[@minnmass]

Common wisdom is that Duluth is a tier-2 target because of that, the hundreds of thousands of tons of grain that flow through the ports, and the Air National Guard base. At least it'll be quick!

[@kilderok]

@@minnmass The sexiest bombing spots are the more remote regions of lower population states though, that's where we store a lot of OUR nukes.

[@Trip_mania]

For the babies thing, I have heard that they didn't use anesthetics on babies primarily because until not so long ago, anesthetics were dangerous to babies and the chance that they would never wake up was too high. So it was easier to make yourself believe, more or less consciously, that babies don't feel pain so that it is easier for you.

[@ELisa-qf2mw]

OmG that makes sense. And, at least here in Italy, until insanely few years ago it was very common to see newborn or few months old girls with their ears pierced with ridiculous unnecessary earrings, because parents thought they couldn't feel pain and so they would be spared the pain of doing it afterwards.

Story 4. It's because infants won't remember the procedure, which is partially the reason for using anesthesia in the first place. In modern medicine, we use anesthesia to render us unconscious, because a conscious person couldn't tolerate the level of pain a surgery would induce. But what if there's a mistake, and you wake up during the surgery? Pretty traumatizing, right? Because of this, there's another drug used that causes amnesia. Just incase you wake up in the middle of the procedure. If you can't remember the pain, it's like it never happened. The same principle is happening to Babies, just in reverse. Adults can remember the pain thus we use anesthesia to negate this. Since babies can't remember that far back, there's less reason to use anesthesia

The reason the veterinary nurses have such a high suicide rate isn't because they have to deal with dying pets and pets getting put down..... Its because they have to give families the news that their beloved pet is suffering and the treatment is very expensive but their insurance won't cover it so they have to watch the family make the decision to let their pet suffer or let them go.

The babies are too little to remember the pain of surgery without anesthesia, so it doesn't matter if they feel the pain" Yall this man was dead serious when he said it was okay to not give babies anesthesia during surgery because they are too little to remember the pain.

A Disturbing Prison fact: I know people who work in our Canadian Prison system. Some disturbing facts is 1) a large part of prison population are Indigenous peoples 2) the main reasons is their upbringings. Many come from extremely traumatic backgrounds and have cognitive disorders from lack of nurturing during early childhood years and/or harmful practices during pregnancy. 3) A HUGE number of incarcerated men, (including non-indigenous)have history of sexual abuse in their childhoods, with some reporting multiple abusers. That’s 800+ individuals per prison. It’s really sad and disturbing knowing that most of incarcerated individuals are just kids in adult bodies. Even more disturbing to me personally, that pedophillia is more common than you think. Of course I always knew, but when you work among vulnerable populations, the numbers are hard to wrap your head around….

21:34 As someone who is a marine biologist, some of you guys have a reason to be scared of the ocean. There is a very high chance that there is still at least one megalodon out there somewhere very deep in the ocean or something almost as big as it. You should be more scared of giant squids than sharks. Both are harmless to humans tho

As someone who has thalassaphobia, why do you think that? What is your reasoning? I'm curious.

[@venus4724]

Haven't researchers already said that it was highly unlikely to have a megalodon hidden in the depths of today's oceans? If I remember correctly, they weren't built to withstand that temperature or level of pressure, and if they really did still exist, we would have seen them. Not to mention, the amount of food that it takes to feed a megalodon is huge and we would have observed patterns like that by now. I don't think their species still alive.

Another disturbing fact. If a person suffers from an emergency situation in a well populated area that person will not be helped until they already suffered near fatal damage. This is the bystander effect, the more people present the more it discourages others to help because they're thinking that someone else will help, in turn no one will help until the person is in a dire situation or already dead.

[@Icalasari]

Fun additional fact for the Human Bite in Story 1: Apparently our teeth have a CRAP ton of these bacteria trapped in them. So if our teeth break off in something we bite, it's as good as dead.

_Disclaimer - I am not a nuclear expert or historian._ *The Man Who Took 83 Days to Die* *Tokaimura, Japan* Thursday, 30th September, 1999 - The accident occurred as three workers, Hisashi Ouchi, Masato Shinohara, and Yutaka Yokokawa, were preparing a small batch of fuel for the Jōyō experimental fast breeder reactor, using uranium enriched to 18.8% with the fissile radionuclide (radioisotope) U‑235 (with the remainder being the fertile U‑238). It was JCO's first batch of fuel for that reactor in three years, and no proper qualification and training requirements appear to have been established to prepare those workers for the job. At around 10:35, a precipitation tank reached critical mass when its fill level, containing about 16 kilograms (35 pounds) of uranium, reached about 40 liters (11 U.S. gallons). The workers bypassed the buffer tanks entirely, opting to pour the uranyl nitrate directly into the precipitation tank with a stainless steel bucket. The additional solution contained 16 kg of uranium, thus exceeding the tank's uranium limit of 2.4 kg. An uncontrolled nuclear fission began immediately. The precipitation tank, in contrast to the buffer tank, had not been designed to hold unlimited quantities of this type of solution as its wide cylindrical shape made it very favorable to criticality (spherical being the most favorable shape). Criticality was reached upon the technicians adding a seventh bucket of an aqueous uranyl nitrate solution to the tank. The nuclear fission chain reaction became self-sustaining and began emitting intense gamma and neutron radiation. At the time of the event, Ouchi had his body draped over the tank while Shinohara stood on a platform to pour the solution into it; Yokokawa was sitting at a desk four meters away. All three technicians observed a blue flash (possibly Cherenkov radiation) and gamma-radiation alarms sounded. Technicians Ouchi and Shinohara immediately experienced pain, nausea, difficulty breathing, and other symptoms. Ouchi then began to vomit in the decontamination room a few minutes later and lost consciousness shortly after. Fission products such as yttrium‑94 and barium‑140 began contaminating the building. Being a wet process with an intended liquid result, the water sustained the chain reaction by serving as a neutron moderator, whereby neutrons emitted from fissioned nuclei are slowed so they are more readily absorbed by neighboring nuclei, inducing them to fission in turn. The criticality continued intermittently for about 20 hours. As the solution boiled vigorously, steam bubbles attenuated the liquid water's action as a neutron moderator (see Void coefficient) and the solution lost criticality. However, the reaction resumed as the solution cooled and the voids disappeared. The following morning, workers permanently stopped the reaction by draining water from a cooling jacket surrounding the precipitation tank. The water was serving as a neutron reflector. A boric acid solution (boron selected for its neutron absorption properties) was then added to the tank to ensure that the contents remained subcritical. Under correct operating procedure, uranyl nitrate would be stored inside a buffer tank and gradually pumped into the precipitation tank in 2.4 kg increments. The buffer tank's tall, narrow geometry was designed to hold the solution safely and to prevent criticality. The workers bypassed the buffer tanks entirely, opting to pour the uranyl nitrate directly into the precipitation tank with a stainless steel bucket. The additional solution contained 16 kg of uranium, thus exceeding the tank's uranium limit of 2.4 kg. An uncontrolled nuclear fission began immediately. The precipitation tank, in contrast to the buffer tank, had not been designed to hold unlimited quantities of this type of solution as its wide cylindrical shape made it very favorable to criticality (spherical being the most favorable shape). Five hours after the start of the criticality, evacuation commenced of some 161 people from 39 households within a 350-meter radius from the conversion building. Residents were allowed home two days later with sandbags and other shielding to protect from residual gamma radiation. Twelve hours after the start of the incident, residents within 10 km were asked to stay indoors as a precautionary measure. This restriction was lifted the following afternoon. Dozens of emergency workers and nearby residents were hospitalized and hundreds of thousands of others were forced to remain indoors for 24 hours; 39 of the workers were exposed to the radiation. At least 667 workers, emergency responders, and nearby residents were exposed to excess radiation as a result of the accident. Hisashi Ouchi took 83 days to die. The chromosomes in his cells deteriorated to pieces. He was unable to make new cells. He had no immune systems, nearly zero white blood cells. He was leaking fluids, his heart kept arresting. His family kept insisting the doctors continue treatment, even as Hisashi begged to die. Hisashi finally dies on Dec. 21, 1999. Masato Shinohara spent 7 months fighting for his life before, he too, succumbed on April 27, 2000. Yutaka Yokokawa ufferd minor radiation sickness and survived, he was charged with criminal charges of negligence in October 2000.

The gamma ray fact is true, except the "Vaporizing" thing. It would propably not contain a lot of heat, but it would definitely strip us from our ozone layer and destroy the atmosphere. But it wouldnt immediatly vaporize us, which makes it much, much worse as it would be a fast, but not instantanious end most likely. It would be horrible. But the chance is pretty slim, might only have happened at one point already though at one mass extinction.

*Trigger warning: child abuse, sexual exploitation and neglect As a child who was in the foster care system in America, I have personal experience of how horrible it is; and the stats are even worse than I ever knew before researching. Around half a million children are currently in the fostercare system in the US, and over 100,000 children have gone missing from the foster care system (on top of the department of Health and human services 2023 case study finding that over 46 states, state agencies failed to report around 34,800 cases unreported). That's around 55 children going missing each day and estimated 60% of those children missing being sexually exploited with black and native American children make up a disproportionate number of the missing children. The care system is riddled with fraud, abuse and sex trafficking; an estimated 90% of children being exposed to trauma and a reported average of 25% being abused while in the care system. Though the government spends approximately $10 billion a year to help states maintain the child welfare system (fun fact: about the equivalent amount spent per MONTH on the war in Afghanistan) In Georgia, nearly 1,800 children in state care went missing between 2018 and 2022, according to a new analysis conducted by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children as part of a U.S. Senate panel’s ongoing probe into Georgia’s child welfare system. More than 20% of those were likely trafficked. From the remaining children, more than 23,000 will age out of the system; 50% of never even graduate high school (and only 3% earn a college degree), 40% will have gainful employment and 20% will end up homeless.

I have two: 1) That the uncanny valley, due to being a subconscious feeling that all humans possess and we are made to avoid or view it as a threat, suggests that it is an evolutionary factor. Which means at one point and time, in human evolutionary history, we had to fight off a threat that was almost human but not quite human. And since we've only explored about 5% of the world's oceans and 10% of the world's forest, that means that not-quite-human threat may still be out there. & 2) If you are to be murdered, you are most likely to have known or at least MET your murderer. Rather it be a close friend or family member or that guy you met at the local Boba tea shop, there is a 68% chance that you will have known or at least met your killer. So you are more likely to have known your killer than you are to die in a car accident.

Story 24: Milk is a good source of vitamin D. However as you get older, your body's ability to process lactose diminishes so you will start excluding milk more and more from your diet. This is especially accelerated if you quit drinking milk completely for a period of time. Adults generally reduce the amount of milk they consume over time compared to the amount they had when they were children. I used to eat a small bowl of cereal every day with my breakfast or at least a glass of strawberry or chocolate milk when I did not get cereal. When I moved into my GF's (now wife) home, she didn't have any milk in her fridge (allergic to lactose). I went months without milk. One day I decided to buy cereal and milk. It was a nasty surprise to find out that I could not tolerate milk anymore. I've since switched to lactose free milk (more expensive). My wife wasn't aware such thing existed and has now been having milk occasionally. She missed eating cereal.
